We all have little mantras. The idea that life is a series of minor victories has an appeal to me. Some victories are bigger than others, but if you look at the smallest positive thing that happens to you on a daily basis, it makes it easy to deal with the occassional sack of fertilizer that gets chucked at you from moving vehicles.
It's been a little more than a week since I returned from Microsoft's Technical Education Conference, TechEd. The group I worked with this year was responsible for the Hands-On labs and the Instructor-Led labs. I had the good fortune of presenting an ILL entitled "Alternative Methods to Detect and Contain Malware Using Microsoft Tools". The three of us that presented the two sessions were pretty pleased with our reception, finishing as one of the top ILL sessions and well above the conference average overall.
First of all, we discussed the
Rootkit Revealer tool, part of the Sysinternals toolkit. Pretty effective tool used in the discovery of root kits. We then disabled the tool, and worked our way around working with the Process Monitor, Autoruns and a few other tools that you can find at
live.sysinternals.com. Do a search on the individual tool if you desire some additional info.
Until next time, don't settle for bad sushi.
