Trinity to the rescue!
Today I visited a network which was thoroughly infested with virii, not knowing what do do with the virii, I decided to look at one of the special distros that can help in the clean-up operation. I had an older CD of “auditor” in my toolkit and was not too keen on using that since it I knew it was over a year old. In the virus world, anything older than a week is just not worth it.
A quick search, pointed me to Trinity Rescue Kit. This is a live CD that offers so many options at boot time, that it does get you to wonder! I can boot of CD, network or USB, I can then scan a system for virii, and then clean it out To top it off, the distro is capable of reading so many different files systems including NTFS that it really acts as a CPR disk for a windows machine.
The list of features is very impressive, and I’d suggest that you head across to the site and grab the ISO for yourself. its certainly a CD to have in your tool kit.
The live CD was able to update ClamAV to the latest version and scan a machine without any issues.
I am still playing around with the distro, but the initial reactions of using it have been extremely positive and the distro is “highly reccommended”.
While I’m back to sanitising the infested network, and you should go look at Trinity Recue Kit in the meantime.
Cheers…Kishore

Major panic and excitement today, when for some strange reason a freshly burnt CD decided to get stuck in my “SuperDrive”. I’m not sure how this happened, but it just refused to come out. Not only that, the system did not even recognise it so it never showed up as mounted or available. I was [...]

Twenty-five days to go for FOSS.IN/2008. I have been so busy with some of the arrangements that I have ignored my blog and not even announced the various activities related to the event. The story so far, the event was announced and created a bit of a stir in the community. I do believe in [...]

Pardon the title, I just couldn’t think of a better one. But the last few reports in the newspaper prompted me to write this post. I’m not one for making political statements, but seriously blaming technology because it is being used by terrorists does not work! Next we will hear them say things like they [...]

Lots has been happening (apart from the fact that I am lazy), the iPhone 3G was launched in India and everyone went gaga over it. I was asked for an opinion for NDTV and I am sure what I said they would not have aired! I did actually want to blog about the iPhone but [...]

Last year while preparing for FOSS.IN, I heard The Raghu Dixit Project for the first time. The track I first heard was in Kannada and though I did not understand any of it, the music sounded great. Later, I started keeping a lookout for their music and when they launched a CD I was thrilled. [...]

Was browsing around for ways to display photos for another site that I am currently working on, when Jyoti stumbled upon FlickrSlidr which does a nice dynamic slideshow of your Flickr photos. I don’t have too many photos on my Flickr account, and many of those which I do have are published elsewhere too, some [...]

While the country was gearing up to celebrate the 61st Independence Day, I had a sheer dependence on technology. I was helping a client migrate their mail server, (it had to be shifted from one data centre to another) which was taking a little longer than usual. I finally landed up staying up almost till [...]
