Yes its true. Malaysia's most popular PVPGN realm installed a keylogger on your computer. No worries, there's a way to disable it while still being able to connect to Blueserver.
To remove the keylogger, just delete taskmgr.exe from C:\WINDOWS. (Notice that its a program with VB's default icon ?)
If you've played warcraft recently you'll have to reboot your pc (It's already started) to delete the keylogger. (Thanks kev, ;p)
I didn't test what it steals and where it connects to, however, tricking a user into installing malicious program is VERY VERY LOW.
It's smart enough to dodge my AVG Scan, Panda Online Scan and Lavasoft's adaware. I guess we'll just have to remove it manually.
Shame on you B3Server admins !

I'm back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally done with my final year, muahahah. I'm looking forward to either a job, or MBA now. Well, still, I have to wait for my results >.< href="http://renyi.kicks-ass.org/">http://renyi.kicks-ass.org
Next I've open sourced a subset of my final year thesis. For those whom are interested, its here. It's a file sharing tool using Bluetooth.
I've also reinstalled my computer. Updated to a more recent Gentoo, and reinstalled from scratch. My desktop is still a Gentoo/Fluxbox combo. Nothing much changed, except that this time I mastered the portage system better and able to optimize my system more. Now, the box rarely swaps, and I'm reallly considering of freeing those 512MB swap space. I've been doing some reading, many experts says no, so I'm just keeping the swap space around. Instead, I changed the kernel's vm swappiness to 10, means less swapping. Well, we'll see.
Finally, I have time with my server ! It's a freebsd box. I reinstalled it from scratch last nite. Freebsd is the reason I almost switched to BSD from Linux. However, I must say, Gentoo's portage system is much better than FreeBSD's own port system, thou Gentoo borrowed the idea. I'm sticking with FreeBSD for my server simply because the ports system uses way less resources, and that suits my old junk fine. As we speak, I'm installing MYSQL -1.5 on my FreeBSD. Next on the list is pureFTPd and apache.
Bah, updating the ports alone takes forever on my pentium133mhz-32MB system. I might need a week to finish setting up the whole server, @.@
Its a shame that Gentoo's portage system uses python, it needs a minimum of 64MB and lots of horsepower to run.

Holidays coming ....
Final exam's in two days, I'm all worn out.... I've decided on a couple of things thou.
I've finally decided to split my blogs. Google's blogger is giving problem to myoss site (sorry Colin), therefore I'm back to livejournal again. This will be the place I blog oss/linux stuffs. Google's blogger will be my general blog.
Two, I've decided to update my homepage .. again.... this time I'm serious ! I've emerged Bluefish, :-) Nothing can be done until after my finals thou ....
Three, my final year project coding is finally starting. The boring analysis and design phases are almost over. I'll start a new blog to blog the dev process. Wish me luck.
Almost 11am ... time to sleep. I can't believe college students surviving without sleep ... I'm the perfect example.

Interesting read about rights in Malaysia
Woot ! Its 2 am. I have presentation tommorow. I haev assignment to hand in tommorow. And the toast of the day, I have Computer Graphics Test tommorow !
Forget it. My mood changed after I read the following .....
"The government decided in 2004 to install closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in major cities with the purpose of curbing snatch thefts. Local councils have until September 18 to install the cameras at public spaces such as bridges, light rail transportation or bus stations, night markets and dark lanes. CCTV systems will be connected to district police stations where images will be monitored. Some critics assert that CCTV could be used not only against snatch thieves but also to spot and nab courting couples caught on camera displaying affection in public, which is not allowed in Malaysian society."
Man, I dont remember reading this in the news, I just wonder how does the International Privacy Organisation knows about this ? I was doing a research about online privacy and cyberlaw when I came across this. I mean, WTF ? Government spying on us now ? Why am I the last to know, ;p
For hackers, beware, if you think that Malaysia has no cyberlaw ...
"In January 2001, following a high profile hack into the Parliament's web site, it was reported that the government may extend the ISA to hackers of government web sites."
Other intersting things that you could read about includes the criticism of several Malaysia Act's, and stuffs. Basically, it explains alot about the rights that of Malaysians, and the limitations to it. (Note: I really love the part they mention about Malaysia and freedom of speech, ^.^)
You can read other interesting things about Malaysia, Malaysian, the government and privacy here. Definately a must read for all Malaysian. The question is, how come they know so much about Malaysia, while we (me atleast) as Malaysians are so ignorant ?
P/S For ISA wannabe scanning this, I'm only reading the article .......
