In a recent Hak5 episode (704, at 9 minutes) they covered changing the Logon UI background, which reminded me of my own little script.
Since last working the script, I’d like to think I’ve learned more and it was about to time clean up the code and make it a little more user friendly. It still [...]

Back up and VoIP

Well, for some reason my server was acting up, possibly hacked. So I’ve been forced to reinstall the thing, which wasn’t a bad thing. I had installed a ton of stuff that was unused and <shame>didn’t practice the best passwords policies<shame>.
In other news, I’ve done some more playing around with Google Voice. So far I [...]
Inverse ARP

While researching fast ways to find a relationship between a MAC and IP address, I dug up some info on Inverse ARP and found out that it isn’t widely a supported protocol. Basically, it’s only used in frame relay networks, which doesn’t help matters.
So I did what any sensible geek does, I hacked something together.
This [...]
Another reason to have your own server

I’ve heard Hak5 talk about the awesomeness of SSH Tunneling and how it can secure your traffic, but I’ve never really given it much thought until when I actually needed it. The ability to tunnel traffic through somewhere else, was super helpful a couple months ago when I needed to test some VPN settings while [...]

My wife has been getting into blogging more a more lately and so I figured it was about time that she get set up with something other than Blogger. Partly so that we can have a little more control over the look, and come on, it’s just cool.
Then last night while on our date, [...]
Of IPs & Subnets
January 27th, 2010
No Comments
While if you look, there are tools to calculate a IP subnet/address range, they all seem to rely on string splitting and converting the address to binary manually. Which I think is bulky, hard to maintain, and more importantly, not that elegant. So pulling to mind my Cisco CCNA classes where my instructor would drill [...]
Restoring Hyper-V VM with snapshot tree

For whatever reason, you’ve lost your virtual machine settings in Hyper-V and it just so happened they are snapshots. I sure hope that this was a test server and not a production one! Tsktsk! By now, you’ve probably scoured the interweb searching for a cure, and you’re in luck, you’ve found a way to get [...]

Well, I’m married now and very probably enjoying a lovely honeymoon given to us by my aunt and uncle from California. They got us two tickets on a cruise in the Caribbean (?), which is super nice since it’ll be warm and by the ocean which means Katrina’s gonna be in a bikini a lot [...]

My first cmdlet, Out-Web

It’s been a while since I’ve done a for fun computer project, so I decided I wanted to learn how to make PowerShell Cmdlets. The problem was that I couldn’t think of really anything I wanted to make! Then one day I was reading Lee Holmes’ blog, saw the “Out-Web” and had a project.
