Malaysian phone hacker arrested for stealing credit-card information from Krung Thai Bank

Source: The Nation Post

---

The Department of Special Investigation arrested a Malaysian man yesterday for allegedly stealing credit-card information from Krung Thai Bank by using telephone wiretaps to hack into its database. Director-general Sombat Amornwiwat said Lee Kian Sin had caused more than Bt100 million in damage to the bank, which had kept the information theft a secret to avoid causing panic among its cardholders. Sombat did not say how the hacking or phone bugging had been carried out but warned that people using KTC cards in the region south of Hat Yai district in Songkhla were at risk of having had their credit-card details stolen. Sombat said bank customers who regularly ran up card balances of more than Bt100,000 were prime targets of the Malaysian suspect, who, he said, was part of a racket operating in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. The ring included store clerks who took down shoppers’ credit-card numbers and others who then sold items obtained through payments charged to an unsuspecting shopper’s credit card.

DISK Diagnostics on Fedora Core 3

attention: if you are not sure what is this please do not procees

1. To check bad blocks on hard disk, use badblocks command

example:

its located at /sbin, so the command will look loke this (must be a root to do this)

root@sqew sbin # ./badblocks -s -v -n -b 512 -c 4096 /dev/hdX (X is your hdisk)

Checking for bad blocks in non-destructive read-write mode

From block 0 to 29498175 (depends on ur hdisk, you can choose to diag on selected blocks)

Checking for bad blocks (non-destructive read-write test)

Testing with random pattern: done

Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found.

Ternyata Cinta

by: Padi

Ingin sungguh aku bicara
Satu kali saja
Sebagai ungkapan kata...
Perasaanku padamu
Telah cukup lama kudiam...
Didalam keheningan ini
Kebekuan dibibirku
Tak berdayanya tubuhku

Dan ternyata cinta...
Yang menguatkan aku
Dan ternyata cinta...

Kau yang sungguh selalu setia
Menemani kesepianku
Menjaga lelap tidurku
Membasuhku setulusnya
Merekahnya fajar hatiku
Menghangatku luruhku
Dan resapkan keharuman
Engkau yang mencintaiku

Dan ternyata cinta...
Yang menguatkan aku
Dan ternyata cinta...
Tulus mendekap jiwaku

Naluri Lelaki

By: Samsons

aku adalah lelaki
yang tak pernah lelah
mencari wanita
aku adalah lelaki
yang selalu gundah
menunggu wanitaku

oh aku adalah lelaki
yang pantang menyerah
memikat wanita
aku adalah lelaki
yang selalu ingin
dibuai wanitaku

tolong dekati aku
tolong hampiri aku
tolong jamahi aku
agar aku bijaksana
agar aku bahagia
agar aku merasakan cinta

naluriku sebagai lelaki
membuatku menginginkan
berjuta wanita di sisiku
naluriku sebagai lelaki
membuatku merindukan
pujaan dari wanita

p/s: i heard this song over ch8 on astro last nite, quite nice song + lyrics

Chat from Prompt

--------------------------------------------------------
another helpful hint : Chatting from Command Prompt
--------------------------------------------------------
if you want a private chat with a friend or client on you Network, you don't need to download any fancy program! All you need is your friends IP address and Command Prompt.
Firstly, open Notepad and copy paste code below:

@echo off
:A Cls
echo MESSENGER
set /p n=User:
set /p m=Message:
net send %n% %m%
Pause
Goto A


Now save this as "Messenger.bat". Open the .bat file and in Command Prompt you should see:

MESSENGER User:
After "User" type the IP address of the computer you want to contact. After this, you should see this:

Message:

Now type in the message you wish to send. Before you press "Enter" it should look like this:

MESSENGER
User: 56.108.104.107
Message: Hi

Now all you need to do is press "Enter", and start chatting!

Full System Backup on Solaris O/S

I make a reply on How-To-Do Full System Backup on ITTUTOR.NET forum. So for all sharing, i 'll post it here as a reference to others.

Let say our partition info is like this :

bash-2.05# cat /etc/vfstab
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
#
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s2 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0s0 /usr ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t5d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s0 /var ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c0t5d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c0t5d0s1 /export/home ufs 2 yes -
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s1 /opt ufs 2 yes -
/dev/dsk/c0t4d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0s1 /usr/openwin ufs 2 yes -
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -

In this case if you want to dump root (/) ufsdump process will only dump slice0 only (/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 ), because other directories is in different target,slice and controller number. So for a full system backup on Solaris we must dump slice per slice using the device path name or dump using the directory name:

# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 / or
# ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0

To see the history of dumping process:
#cat /etc/dumpdates
