How to enable Task Manager in Windows?

CypherHackz — Mon, 21 May 2012 01:30:00 +0000

Last two weeks, when I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del to open up the Task Manager, suddenly this error message appeared on the screen,

Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator.

It was weird because I am the administrator of the computer and I didn’t disable it but how come it says the Task Manager has been disabled by me, the admin?

First thing came to my mind was, it most probably the computer has been infected by a virus and the virus has modified the registry keys, disabled the Task Manager.

The Solution?

Here is the quick fix to re-enable the Task Manager using Registry Editor in Windows.

Press “Windows Key” + “R”.
Type “regedit” and press Enter.
Navigate to,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\System
Double click on “Disable TaskMgr” at the right pane.
Set the value to 0.
Restart the computer.

Hope this helps!

China Domain Scam Alert

CypherHackz — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 06:42:57 +0000

Last week I received an email from a doman registration company in China. The email sounds like this:

(It’s very urgent, Please transfer this email to your CEO or appropriate person, Thanks)

Dear CEO/Principal,

This is Neil Dong—Senior Consultant of domain name registration and solution center in china. have something to confirm with you. We formally received an application on March 26th, 2012, one company which self-styled “Cakebar Investments co.,Ltd” were applying to register “awesomename” as Network Brand and following domain names:

“awesomename.asia
awesomename.cn
awesomename.co.in
awesomename.com.cn
awesomename.com.hk
awesomename.com.tw
awesomename.hk
awesomename.in
awesomename.net.cn
awesomename.org.cn
awesomename.tw
“

After our initial checking, we found that the brand name applied for registration are as same as your company’s name and brand, so we need to check with you whether your company has authorized that company to register these names. If you authorized this, we will finish the registration at once. If your company has no relationships with that company nor do not authorized, please reply to us within 7 workdays, if we can’t get any information from yours over 7 workdays, we will unconditionally approve the application submitted by “Cakebar Investments co.,Ltd” .

Thanks for your cooperation.

Best Regards,

Neil Dong (Mr.)
Senior Consultant Manager

Gulp!? A company in China, “Cakebar Investments co. Ltd” want to use one of my domain (in this article is “awesomename”) as their branding. And they also want to purchase the other available domain names, .asia, .cn, etc and put them into their network brand.

I replied the email and have several conversations with Neil Dong, so called “Senior Consultant Manager” in that company.

At the same time, I also asked my friends on Facebook whether this email is legit or just a scam. Many of them said this email is a scam. Even my friend working in MyCERT also told me that they received quite number of cases same like this!

But I kept on replying emails with this “Senior Consultant Manager” asking what are the benefits the company will get when they register Malay words as their branding. (Yes, they want to register Malay words as branding in China!)

He then pushed me to register the other available domain names to protect my branding and also suggested me to register “awesomename” as Network Brand with them. Sounds fishy isn’t it?

Then I did some Google searches and found several articles same like this one. The domain is different but the moduse operandi is exactly the same.

Top 10 Blogs Share About the China Domain Scam

After combined the inputs I got from my friends and articles on the Internet, then I decided it is a scam.

I have stopped communicate with this guy and let’s see whether this company, Cakebar Investments co. Ltd, want to register the available domain names or not.

Oh yeah, there is no hit on “Cakebar Investments” in Google.

P1 4G Wiggy Modem Connection Failed

CypherHackz — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:55:11 +0000

I was having a problem with my P1 4G Wiggy modem. It suddenly cannot connect to P1 Wimax network.

It tries to connect as shown in figure below:

But after a few seconds (maybe 30 seconds like that), it shows connection failed.

I contacted P1Cares via Twitter. They advised me to reinstall P1 4G Wiggy application manager. I did, but still no luck.

They also told me to disable my antivirus (which I don’t know why), but still nothing good happen.

Lastly, P1Cares advised me to send the Wiggy modem to P1 centre for checking. But I refused.

After being frustrated, I shut down my laptop. After a few minutes, I boot it up again.

Tada! It is now connected to P1 network like normal. No need to send the modem to P1 centre.

If you are having same problem like mine, try what P1Cares told me first. If it still doesn’t work, try shut down your computer for awhile and boot it up after that.

It works for me and hope it will work for you too…

Sorry… I’m not P1 Wimax staff…

CypherHackz — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:30:00 +0000

Since I posted several articles on P1 Wimax problems and how to solve them, many readers thought that I am one of their P1 Wimax staff.

It’s kinda funny though because I got many complaints and questions asking about P1 Wimax. Even some of them were angry with me and asked with rude words! LOL~!

Well my dear readers and friends… I would like to announce that I am not P1 Wimax staff! I repeat. I am not P1 Wimax staff, agent, or their affiliate.

I’m just their customer (just like you), who pays RM129 monthly, subscribe P1 Wimax services, and became their customer since 2008.

If you asked me about technical questions that I can answer, then I will try and help you. But if you asked me about administration questions such as your P1 Wimax login details, change your service package, etc, etc, I will pass you to their customer support at, @p1cares.

Okey guys?

I want to download a file but it uses RTMP protocol. Even though the file extension is .flv, but I cannot download them as I always do with HTTP or FTP.

RTMP is Real-Time Messaging Protocol which was designed for high-performance transmission of audio, video and data between Adobe Flash Platform technologies, such as Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Air.

In this article, I’ll show you how to download a file from RTMP by using RTMPDump.

How to Connect iPad to P1 Wimax Modem?

CypherHackz — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 02:30:00 +0000

A reader asked me on my Facebook fanpage on how to connect iPad to P1 Wimax modem.

Basically it is not that difficult to configure your iPad to connect to P1 Wimax modem. Here’s how…

Referring to my article, How to secure your P1 Wimax WiFi Modem?, under “Change WiFi WEP key” section, take note of your SSID and WEP key (or WPA key).
On your iPad, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and switch ON the wifi module.
Under Choose a Network…, choose your P1 Wimax SSID (from Step #1).
Enter the WEP key (or WPA key) in the password field.
Lastly, tap Join to connect to your P1 Wimax modem.

If you still got problem to get the network, make sure you have allow your iPad MAC address in the Access Control List.

To get the MAC address, on your iPad, go to Settings > General > About. You will find your iPad MAC address under Wi-Fi Address.

Then enter the MAC address in your P1 Wimax modem Access Control List. Just follow the same article here, under “Only allow specific MAC addresses to connect“. Good luck!
