#What Is UAC in Windows 10 and How to Disable It

[deathbypixelz]

Alright. I'm making this post because I was unpleasantly surprised to find Microsoft had forcibly downloaded an """"ai assistant"""" onto my computer (called Copilot), and because finding a site that actually told me how to kill it for good -- in clear, truly step-by-step terms -- was way harder than it needed to be.

Preface: this is only relevant if you're running Windows 11.

Here is your target:

If you see this logo on your taskbar -- or... have Edge installed on Windows 11 -- you've got Copilot. You can't delete it on its own, Microsoft has integrated it into the OS as best they can. The most you can do is disable it (instructions for which are at the very end of this post).

So... to REALLY get rid of it you need to uninstall Microsoft Edge, because it's a part of/reliant on Edge. A lot of bells and whistles of Windows are also reliant on Edge, like widgets, but I never use those. I use my PC almost exclusively for gaming, and I don't want this slimy "ai" shit on my computer. I use Firefox anyway. Edge can go die as far as I'm concerned.

Here's the actual steps, copy-pasted from a website that took me way too long to find. It also really makes my browser chug for some reason, which is why I'm copy-pasting the whole thing. If you still want to look at the site itself, put it in reader view as fast as you can (link to site).

1.) Open Microsoft Edge, type "edge://settings/help" in the address bar, and then press Enter.

2.) Click "About Microsoft Edge" at the bottom of the left-hand pane. Copy the version number at the top of the screen, under Microsoft Edge.

3.) Press Windows Key + S to open Windows Search.

4.) Type "Command Prompt", right-click the result, and then select "Run as Administrator".

5.) The User Account Control (UAC) prompt will appear. Click "Yes".

6.) Navigate to Edge’s “Installer” directory by using the cd command. Depending on which directory your Command Prompt opens in by default, you may need to use the "cd .." command to go back a level or two.

Once ready, run this command:

cd “Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\Version Number\Installer”

Replace "Version Number" with your actual version number copied earlier.

7.) Next, run this command to uninstall Microsoft Edge:

setup –uninstall –force-uninstall –system-level

((It will look like nothing happened! Don't worry!))

8.) Restart your PC for the changes to take place.

((HOWEVER, Windows will try to reinstall it the next time your PC updates (or whenever it feels like it lol) so there's a second half to this))

1.) Press Windows Key + R to open Run.

2.) Type "regedit" in the text box and click OK to open the Registry Editor.

3.) The User Account Control (UAC) prompt will appear. Click "Yes".

4.) In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.

5.) Right-click the "Microsoft" folder, hover your cursor over "New", and then select "Key".

6.) Rename the new Key to "EdgeUpdate".

7.) Right-click EdgeUpdate, hover your cursor over "New", and then select "DWORD (32-bit) Value".

8.) Right-click the new value, which is currently named "New Value #1".

9.) Select "Rename" from the context menu.

10.) Rename the value to "DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium".

11.) Right-click the newly-named DoNotUpdateToEdgeWithChromium value and select "Modify" from the context menu.

12.) The Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value window will appear. Change the Value data to "1" and then click OK.

((You are now free. If you ever run into a really serious, unavoidable issue with your OS that's clearly a result of Edge being gone, you can redownload it like a regular app. But you should be fine.))

((And, if for some reason you want still want Edge around but just want the copilot thing gone, here's what you do:

The command, for ease of copy-pasting: reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /v TurnOffWindowsCopilot /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

You can't actually truly delete Copilot (without deleting Edge), only disable it. And as the reply says, you do have to do this every time you turn the computer on. I haven't tested that myself, but I believe it. I assume/hope that excludes just waking the computer up after it goes to sleep, but I don't know for sure.))

BEGINNING

Before we begin please disable your antivirus! And you will also need a tool for extracting .zip or .rar files! You can get Winrar or 7-Zip,it dosen’t matter that much! Tho i recommend using 7-Zip because it’s free :D

3.(7-ZIP USERS) After it finished downloading select the archive and right-click on it and then select open with,scroll down to the bottom and select look on another app on this pc then go to C:\Program Files\7-zip then select 7zFM.exe ,for 32 bit systems it should be the same default location or Program Files (x86)

(WinRAR USERS) You can do the same process but select the default location for winrar UNLESS it’s already set as default.

4.Continuing,after that open the archive then select its content and paste it into a new folder.

5.After it finished the extracting procces make sure your antivirus is disabled because if it is enabled the crack is going to be detected as a virus and will get removed,then add the folder with the game’s setup to the exceptions list (just to be safe <3)

6.Open the setup and if you get a pop-up from UAC(user account control) saying:an admin has blocked you from running this app, follow this tutorial:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jgwD2e1MB8&ab_channel=TreeAcademy

7.Open the setup again and follow the on-screen instructions,when a serial code is required use this: N78Q-RZKW-7428-DB09-DVTY then select the directory you want to install the game then let the installer do its job,after it got finished select quit then finish.

Optimizing the game!

1. We will need GRM (graphic rule maker) and ONLY IF YOU HAVE 8 GB OF RAM OR MORE we will use 4 gb patch. Download GRM here and 4 gb patch here

2.I’m gonna assume that you know how to install GRM and continue.After the tool got installed open it and it should look like this:

3.Select the game from the game list and then select the locate game button and if it dosen’t detect it select browse.. and select the game’s location.

4.Based on your GPU you need to force the texture memory or the game won t work,go to the search button (for windows 10) and search advanced display info and then scroll down and select Display Advanced Proprieties for Display 1 or 2,a window should open and you need to look at the dedicated video memory and the amount of vram that you see there is the amount that you will enter in the force texture memory section.

5.Select the disable sim shadows option and if you have an amd gpu select the fix amd radeon hd series option,then select your resolutions then save the files,select yes and then ok and you are done!

6.Open the 4gb patch and select the SimsCS.exe file from the tsbin sub-folder of the game’s directory.

How To Install Windows 7 (For Free!) On Your Mac

My Windows 7 desktop is spare, but just give me a few weeks. Microsoft hide caption

toggle caption Microsoft

If you went to your favorite pizza place and tried to order mushrooms and pepperoni and the waiter told you, 'I'm sorry but you can't order those two toppings together. You have to pick one or the other,' you'd be pretty mad, right?

Forgive the analogy, I just ate pizza.

The Mac versus PC debate has gotten so ridiculous that even normal, sane people who wouldn't care one way or another are now hurling insults and tsk-tsking at family members and co-workers who have either fallen into the fruity Mac OS camp or the stodgy Windows world.

You know what? (Expletive) all that. I say, have the best of both worlds.

Over the weekend, I installed Windows 7 RC, a free, preview version of Microsoft's forthcoming operating system, the successor to Windows Vista. Best of all, it works perfectly well on newer Macs sporting Intel processors. My Macbook, which is two years old, runs it like a champ as a Boot Camp partition. I never thought I'd say this about a Windows operating system again after refusing to upgrade from Windows XP, but from what I've seen so far, Windows 7 is... really good. Fast, pretty and without a single crash so far (knock on wood).

A step-by-step guide to installing Windows 7, after the jump.

Here's how to install it on your Mac in a few simple steps:

Make sure you have plenty of hard drive space, at least 40 or 50 gigabytes on your Mac. You're going to lose about 15-25, at least, to run Windows 7, so leave yourself plenty of space for Mac OS, too.

Go to this Microsoft page and sign up for the Windows 7 Release Candidate Customer Preview Program. It's a mouthful, but it works. Microsoft will send you a unique activation code you'll need later. Print it out or write that code down.

Download the 32-bit version of Windows 7. It's a big download, more than two gigabytes, so you'll be waiting a little while.

Burn the .iso file to a DVD to create a Windows 7 install disk. You can do this easily with OS X's Disk Utility. (More detailed instructions here).

Open up Boot Camp Utility. This will walk you through the process of creating a partition on your hard drive for Windows 7. Print out the manual if you want to (it does contain some good, useful info, but it's about 26 pages). Then use the DVD you burned to install Windows 7. Your machine will reboot several times as it installs.

You'll be asked, once Windows is installed, to enter your activation code.

You have Windows 7! As soon as you're in the Windows desktop, insert your Mac OS install disk (either the one that came with your Mac or a Leopard OS disk if you've upgraded) and install the Mac drivers that are on that disk. This will enable sound, your iSight camera and other hardware from your machine.

Don't like it? When you're back in OS X (see below), you can use Boot Camp Utility to delete the Windows partition and reclaim your hard drive space.

That's it. You have a working copy of Windows 7, which will continue to function normally until March 1, 2010.

If you want to switch back to OS X, you'll need to go into Control Panel and look for Boot Camp in order to tell the machine to restart in Mac mode. Once you're back in OS X, you'll have to do the same thing (in System Preferences) to go back to Windows 7. Software like Parallels and VMWare Fusion allows you to run Windows programs while in Mac OS, too. Both can run Windows 7.

Stuck on any steps? A more visual guide is available here.

HOW TO BYPASS ADMIN RESTRICTIONS WINDOWS 10

Windows 10 has different levels of user accounts for multiple users. The accessibility level is different for different user accounts. Standard users can modify their files except for modifying other user’s documents or preferences such as personalization, installing or uninstalling apps, and changing system settings.

However, as a standard user, you will sometimes need the admin rights to change system settings or install a new app. Most users access by disabling UAC settings or granting other users administrative authority. And none of the methods are safe.

We’ve researched and found the easiest, effective, and comparatively safe methods on how to bypass admin restrictions windows 10 here for you. Keep reading to learn about them.

Administrator Privileges and User Account Control

Different apps require a different set of permissions for proper functionality. Although some applications need no special permissions, some require admin privileges to add or modify logs, configs, or other system files.

When you install or run an app, the User Access Control dialog box pops up, asking for admin permission. UAC is a security feature of Windows 10 that controls how system files are modified. Unauthorized third-party apps can corrupt your system by injecting viruses, malware, adware, etc. UAC shields the network from unauthorized changes to the operating system.

Some of the Tasks that require admin permission:

Getting Windows Update

User accounts modification

App folder located in C:\Program Files (x86)\ or C:\WIndows\ directory.

Viewing or changing properties of other users.

Installing or uninstalling software

Task Scheduler

Windows Firewall

Family Safety or Parental Controls

Admin Restrictions on Standard User Accounts

Most apps modify your WIndows’ system files. Viruses or malware in unauthorized third-party apps corrupt the system files. Your privacy is highly vulnerable to them as well.

Admin restriction plays an essential role in protecting your entire system. Not only preventing unauthorized changes, but this feature also controls the way other users use your computer. The administrator account can control other user accounts in many ways, such as:

Network Access: Controlling the access or blockage of particular websites or IP addresses.

Installation and Uninstallation Process:  Restriction on installing or uninstalling software.

Task Manager: Control on viewing or changing running processes.

Accessing system files or limitations on overall usage.

3 Easy Ways to Bypass Admin Restrictions on Windows 10

Run Apps by UAC Prompt Elevated

Asking for administrative permission every time you run an installed app can be bothersome. And, what if a password protects it? You can disable this prompt by typing a simple code, and you don’t have to change the UAC settings either.

Let’s consider an executable file available in both of our devices as a reference. The regedit.exe in the C:\Windows\ directory requires authorization every time you try to open it.

As the first step, open the notepad from the search box in the taskbar.

Write the following command line in your notepad:

cmd /min /C “set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start “” %1″

Save the file as “Bypass Admin Restriction.bat” (yes, we’re saving it as BAT format!)

We will force run the EXE file (regedit.exe in this case) with UAC prompt elevated. Drag and drop the file on the newly created Bypass Admin Restriction.bat file.

Now you should be able to run apps without admin privilege. The UAC Virtualization column on the process tab under Task Manager also shows if the app is running without admin privileges. You can use it for any executable file.

Enable Built-in Administrator to Overwrite Access

Built-in Administrator is the default “hidden administrator” account created during Windows setup. It remains disabled by default. You can change the password or access any file by enabling this feature.

Type “lusmgr.msc” in the Task manager’s search bar to open the “Local Users and Groups” window. (You can go to Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Local Users and Groups alternatively)

Click on “Users” on the left panel. You’ll see the user account list on the right side- open Administrator by double click.

Uncheck the “Account is disabled” option and save it by clicking Apply.

Now close all windows and login to your built-in Administrator account from the lock screen.

Now you can bypass admin restriction on your windows 10.

Changing Administrator Password

There are multiple ways to change administrative passwords on Windows 10. Here are the two easiest methods of unlocking your account fast:

Bypass Windows 10 Administrator Password in Safe Mode

Resetting the password by using safe mode is the oldest method. This method allows you to accomplish your goal without any external device. We’ll be overwriting two essential system files ‘cmd.exe and sethc.exe” here.

1. Force restart your computer by unplugging the power cord (desktop) or removing the battery (laptop). Repeat until you see “Preparing Automatic Repair”.

2. Your system will run a diagnosis. A new window titled “Advanced Options” will appear after the completion of the diagnosis.

3. At this stage, proceed to Advanced options>Troubleshoot>Command Prompt. In the command prompt, go to the system directory. Type “dir” to confirm if you’re in the system directory. If you’re not in the right directory, point to the system drive using the below codes:

cd\

cd windows\system32

4. Now make a backup copy of sethc.exe and then overwrite the existing sethc.exe with cmd.exe file using the codes written below:

copy sethc.exe sethc_copy.exe

copy /y cmd.exe sethc.exe

5. Restart your computer. When you see the user login window, press the Shift key 5 times repeatedly. Doing so will open a new command prompt window.

Type “net user” to see all user accounts. In this step, we’re going to change the administrator password. Type “net user [name of the user] [password]” to change the password.

6. Now, restart your computer and log in with the new password.

Note: You’ll lose access to all encrypted files after resetting the password the way we mentioned above. Confirm there’s no sensitive file encrypted under that account.

Bypass Admin Password Windows 10 via MSDaRT

Another effective way to recover your administrator password is using Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (MSDaRT). Wondering how to bypass admin restrictions on windows 10 using this toolset? Our easy guide will turn you into a Password Recovery Expert in the next 5 minutes.

1. Download MSDaRT from Microsoft’s website.

2. Burn the tool using a portable device (i.e., USB drive). Boot the computer using the DaRT drive. Click “No” on “NetStart prompt”.

3. Choose language. Load the Windows 10 operating system and move to the next step.

4. Click on “Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery toolset” at the bottom of your recovery window.

5. Click on “Locksmith” under the DaRT tool. Then click next.

6. Now select your Administrator’s account and reset your password.

Restart and login to your user account with the fresh password.

Conclusion

We intended to share the easiest ways to bypass admin restrictions on Windows 10 with you for learning purposes. We do not recommend using any of these methods unless there is a serious necessity. Changing the natural process can affect the files stored inside your computer.

Microsoft also recommends keeping the built-in Administrator account disabled on the client computer for security. Enable Admin Approval Mode as well if you need to enable a built-in administrator account. Remembering the password or asking your administrator for approval is the best practice of all.

FAQs

Q: How do I bypass admin restrictions on Windows 10?

A: The administrator account has full control over the computer, such as blocking other users from various functions. However, you can escape these restrictions in multiple ways. Turning off the UAC prompts, getting admin privileges from built-in admin, or even breaking the passwords.

Q: Can I bypass admins privileges as a standard user by using startup repair only?

A: Yes, it is possible to bypass admin privileges as a standard user. Go to safe mode and select startup repair. Follow the instructions provided in this guide to elevate the restrictions successfully.

Q: How do I install programs without UAC prompts?

A: You can elevate the prompts from UAC settings. Go to Control Panel> User Accounts (small icons)> User Accounts Control Settings. A new window will open. Turn the slider all the way down to never notify. However, doing so will put your computer at risk of a security breach.

New Post has been published on https://techcrunchapp.com/how-to-disable-windows-10s-programmable-taskbar-feature/

How to disable Windows 10's Programmable Taskbar feature

Microsoft revealed a new feature that it called Programmable Taskbar back in July when it released Build 20161 to the Windows Insider Dev channel.

The basic idea behind the feature was to customize the default set of icons that is displayed as part of the operating system’s out-of-box experience.

Based on a user’s activity, e.g. whether an Android phone is linked to the Microsoft Account or if the user has an Xbox Live account, icons are added or removed from the taskbar.

Microsoft believes that the feature gives its users the content that they want and makes the taskbar have less clutter on top of that.

The feature is part of Windows 10 20H2 but not for devices that are upgraded from a previous version. Existing Microsoft customers who set up a system anew may have the taskbar icons customized based on the account that they use to sign-in to the system.

Microsoft started to test a new Windows 10 device setup feature in October that may also provide more customization one day based on a user’s intended use for the system.

Disabling the Programmable Taskbar in Windows 10

Windows 10 administrators may disable the Programmable Taskbar using a new policy called “Turn off cloud optimized content” or by editing the Windows Registry.

Using the Group Policy

Note: the Group Policy is not available on Windows 10 Home systems.

Use the keyboard shortcut Windows-R to open the runbox.

Type gpedit.msc and select OK to start the Group Policy Editor. Note that you need to be signed-in as an administrator. If you are not, hold down Ctrl-key and Shift-key before you select OK to get the elevation prompt to type the Admin password.

Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Cloud Content when the Group Policy Editor is open.

Find Turn off cloud optimized content and double-click on the entry to display it fully.

Set the policy to Enabled to disable the functionality.

Select OK and close the Group Policy Editor.

This policy setting lets you turn off cloud optimized content in all Windows experiences.

If you enable this policy, Windows experiences that use the cloud optimized content client component, will instead present the default fallback content.

If you disable or do not configure this policy, Windows experiences will be able to use cloud optimized content.

Editing the Registry

Setting the policy to enabled adds a Dword to the Registry. You can add the value directly to the Registry; it is also the only option for Home systems to disable the functionality.

Use the keyboard shortcut Windows-R to open the run box.

Type regedit.exe and select OK to start the Registry Editor.

Confirm the UAC prompt if it is displayed.

With the Registry Editor interface open, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsCloudContent.

Note: some keys may not be available yet. If that is the case, go to the last key that is available.

Right-click on the key and select New > Key.

Name it accordingly, e.g. if you are in SOFTWARE name it Policies.

Repeat the process until all keys are available.

Right-click on CloudContent and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value.

Name it DisableCloudOptimizedContent.

Double-click on the newly created Dword and set its value to 1.

Press OK.

Restart the PC.

Closing words

Once the change has been applied, new accounts will always get the default Taskbar layout and not a custom layout based on connected devices or services.

Now You: What is your take on customizing the taskbar or other features based on the user? (via Bleeping Computer)

How to install XAMPP server in Windows 10 - XAMPP Guide

You might be having an idea about what is a server, even if you are a newbie in the technical field. In this article, we are going to learn “How to install XAMPP server in Windows 10” with the help of simple steps.

Before fleeing to the steps of installing the XAMPP server, let’s get the idea about what truly a XAMPP server is?

XAMPP is an all-in-one server package that supports PHP and Perl server-side programming. It also involves an email and FTP server as well as a self-signed certificate to use the apache web server in HTTPs model.

This package is available for various platforms such as Linux, Windows, Mac, and Solaris. Among all the packages the XAMPP packages most prevalently used. It was mainly developed by the Apache friends organization to hype the use of the Apache web server in the web development environment. However, in this article, we are installing it in Windows 10.

Now, let’s learn how to install XAMPP server in windows 10, step by step.

STEP 1: Open your browser and go to www.apachefriends.org.

It is an official website of Apache friends organization, where you can find various server packages specifically for various platforms and apps.

STEP 2: Go to download category

Now, search for “Download” category in the menu or you can also click on the link for which Operating System you want to download the XAMPP server, here we are downloading for Windows 10.

STEP 3: Download the file

In the “XAMPP for Windows” section, choose the PHP version you want to download and click on the download button.

Once you click on the download button, it immediately pops a tab signifying that the automatic download will start soon but if it doesn’t work you can on the “click here” link. 

In our case, it started downloading in one tap as shown in the image below.

STEP 4: Run the installer

After the download finishes, run the downloaded file, this will start the XAMPP installation wizard. If you encounter any warning asking “Do you want this application to making changes to the system”, Ignore the warning and click Yes. Now, click on next in the XAMPP setup window.

STEP 5: Choose components

The “select components” windows enables you to select which components in XAMPP you want to be installed in your system. There is no compulsion of installing everything contained in XAMPP package, but feel free to install the entire package and explore on your own.

Click next to continue the installation process.

STEP 6: Select installation folder

In this step, you are required to select the folder where you want to install XAMPP. The default location for windows is drive “C” and inside “program files 84x” folder. However, if you have received any “warning” regarding UAC because of an activated UAC on your system, you would rather choose to install to a folder outside the “program files 84x” folder. The alternate method is to disable UAC (User Account Control) as an administrator through the control panel. It will open a User account settings form where you have to drag the slider to never notify.

Select the folder and click on next.

STEP 7: Select the language 

In the final step, once you complete the installation process, you have to select the language among English and German. The user can select the language in which S/he is comfortable with and click on save.

STEP 8: Bitnami for XAMPP

In this window, it will show you Bitnami’s pre-packaged web applications specifically for use in XAMPP such as Joomla, WordPress, Drupal. Apache friends organization has collaborated with Bitnami for providing these pre-packaged solutions.

You can learn more about Bitnami by leaving “learn more about Bitnami for XAMPP checkbox checked, or if you want to skip this step remove the checkmark from the checkbox, and click the Next button to continue.

STEP 9: Ready to install

Now, this is the last step for starting the installation process. Click on next.

STEP 10: Welcome to XAMPP wizard

Here the progress bar will show the status of the installation wait until the installation is finished.

STEP 11: Installation complete

As soon as the installation process accomplishes, it pops up a window asking the user whether he or she wants to start the control panel at the current instance. Check the box “Do you want to start the Control Panel now?”, if you wish to start it and uncheck the box if you don’t want to start it at that moment and tap finish.

STEP 12: Running the XAMPP 

If the user follows the whole process in a proper manner, the XAMPP will be successfully installed and the control panel will start with ease. Now, tap on the start button corresponding to Apache and MySQL.

So, this is how you can install and run XAMPP successfully on windows 10.

So, your Windows computer is running sluggish. What do you do?

Many computer repair services offer “tune ups” of your computer. But do these tune up services work? Let’s look at what a tune up of your PC should look like so you can see what’s involved.

At this point, assume the PC is infected with malware and use proper precautions so you do not infect other computers. If you know for sure that you are infected with Malware, then my next article will deal with that specifically. For now, lets assume we are simply experiencing sluggishness or a slow computer that may be caused by Malware or it may be caused by a few other things.

The first step in a tune up is to inspect the inside of the machine. That will usually mean to “Blow out the dust” in addition to inspecting all fans, intake grills, outgo grills, and heatsink fins. All should be cleaned as necessary. Ditto for the heatsink on the graphics processing unit or GPU.

Will the PC Boot? Time for a Boot Test. Once booted up successfully(hopefully), a system assessment can be made. The technician will have diagnostic software to load at this time which will show all the various aspects of a running computer, including the hard drive capacities, the overall hard drive health, detailed software, hardware, network and security configurations.

We want to see if there are memory issues at the hardware level. Thus, memory tests will be run at this time. Bad RAM memory modules are possible although rare.

Before anything is changed, a Full image backup of your hard drive(s) is done. We don’t want to lose any files if serious problems occur so we back everything up.

Other visual inspections may be made where the battery on the motherboard, the motherboard itself, the temperature is checked, and for laptops we want to inspect the keyboard itself. Making sure the “Fn” key works. The units time and date are verified.

Then we might turn towards the software and look at the User Account Control (UAC) and make sure it is turned on and set properly. Power settings are looked at. Screensaver timeout changed back to NONE. System protection is looked at and changed to ON. These are your critically important system restore points. Make sure there is only one running restore program and only one drive C drive! Windows lets us “create” a restore point whenever we wish.

More software tools can be implemented to clean up the file system, to remove temp files, cookies, etc. All files are deleted in the downloads folder as well. And if there is a WINDOWS.OLD folder, it has got to go. That’s doing nothing but taking up space and slowing things down.

Let’s now connect to the internet and let’s make sure Windows Firewall settings are on. Third-party firewalls may be present which is unfortunate but ok. Its just not recommended since Windows has a firewall built right in Windows.

Usually this is a good time to perform Malware scans. Its not simply as easy as running a software program. Usually I will run 5 different programs because no one program can do it all.

A BIOS upgrade is next. Your BIOS is that dark screen right before Windows boots. It resides on your motherboard and is very important to not just performance but to whether your PC boots up or not. These computer files get updated and new BIOS configurations become available. Its not the easiest upgrade as a ‘flash install’ is needed. These are tricky maneuvers because they are done outside of a Windowed environment, however, a current BIOS is usually recommended.

Supposing we tossed the old BIOS in favor of the new one, why don’t we continue this organizing and look to delete other software programs? Old Adobe reader programs, Flash, Java, and other programs litter our hard drives and slow our system down. This include any Anti-Malware “suites” other than Windows Defender (Windows’ excellent built-in antivirus/malware program).

So, scans are complete. How about the internet connection and speed? And let’s run Windows Update to make sure all the updates are done. We keep re-running windows update until there are no more updates. Plus, I would check in Windows settings or run a program called WINVER to confirm the version of Windows is at least 1709 or higher. Microsoft updates Windows about twice a year and 1709 was a big one.

Device conflicts are inspected and fixed if any are found. These are those pesky Red X’s or Question Marks on top of these devices. They need to be fixed, all of them, before continuing.

Hard disk inspections using different scanning software will be used to see if any large file blocks or defragmentation shows up. Windows 10 shouldn’t have any defrag problems, but it needs to be checked anyway. Warning: Never defrag a solid-state drive (SSD) drive!

Optimizing the Folder View Options can be next. These are found in control panel and there is a half dozen or so checkboxes that should be checked (not all of them) to help achieve a smoother running machine. Similarly, visiting System Properties, Computer name, Startup and Recovery, and Virtual Memory will help to make sure various settings are either ‘checked’ or ‘unchecked’ properly.

Disable Autoplay. Thanks to bad design decisions, Autoplay, also known as AutoRun, was once a huge security problem on Windows. Autoplay helpfully allowed malicious software to launch as soon as you inserted discs and USB drives into your computer. Windows 10 largely fixed the issue, but it is still a good idea to disable it.

You can also optimize your mouse and touchpad controls as well. Turning off a lot of the eye candy will help your performance.

You can apply these optimization activities over to your display and to the Desktop to achieve similar gains. For example, turning off ‘transparency effect’ will help. And the desktop should be no more than 500MB (not GB) in size.

There are lots of places where Microsoft is selling you something. You can remove these too. As an example, under settings>System>Notifications&Actions you can turn OFF “Get Tips, Tricks, and Suggestions as you use Windows”. You don’t need this.

There are a lot of optimizations you can do to Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome too. Mostly these deal with getting rid of all the cache, how to deal with cookies, and whether you are clearing browsing history when you exit.

If you don’t have an email program like Outlook, we can install Thunderbird and usually do. Its free and is an impressive program. Ditto for an Office Suite. LIBRE Office is free and a worthy competitor to Microsoft Office. If you want these programs installed, just remember to change the default Office program (control panel>default programs).

Clear all the event logs and system logs in Event viewer. Rerun file and disk utilities. Run Anti-Malware updates and scans again. Run “Six-Shooter” which is a collection of six utilities to further weed out any malware in the system.

The system can now be tested to make sure all parts are working as designed and any problems fixed. Browsers can be tested. File Types (.doc, .docx, .ppsx, .ppt, & .pptx) can be opened and closed to see if the file associations work. Play a video file. Make sure the CD player works. Things like that. Check the sounds.

A final run of system diagnostic software will close this up. This will provide a snapshot of what your system looks like now, post optimization.

This has also been a hardware inspection. Thus, your technician can share thoughts or give advice on the sun-setting of certain hardware and the need to, perhaps, upgrade something if for nothing else than to achieve better security. For example, perhaps they are running Windows 10 version 1709 when version 1809 is available. Or maybe their CPU is so old, you can only play black and white media on it. Seriously though, computer hardware is a depreciating asset. It comes into favor and then it goes out of favor. You cannot simply buy one piece of hardware and stick with it for 30 years.

Now, having said this, I just extended the life of my TEN YR OLD MacBook Pro by adding an SSD drive and reinstalling the operating system. For a ten-year-old, she sure acts like a newborn! I may have extended the life a little bit, but I am still running about four versions of operating system behind the current version(not to mention the ancient CPU). That’s because Apple doesn’t support my aging hardware anymore. Microsoft is no different.

From a security standpoint, this becomes untenable and I better get to the store to replace my MacBook soon. Luckily, however, I just purchased a brand new Razer Blade 15 Windows Laptop! In my line of work i need to have both a Mac and a Windows computer at all times.

Original Post from FireEye Author: Michael Bailey

In the previous installment, we wrote about how string hashing was used in CARBANAK to manage Windows API resolution throughout the entire codebase. But the authors used this same string hashing algorithm for another task as well. In this installment, we’ll pick up where we left off and write about CARBANAK’s antivirus (AV) detection, AV evasion, authorship artifacts, exploits, secrets, and network-based indicators.

Antivirus Evasions

Source code unquestionably accelerates analysis of string hashes. For example, the function AVDetect in AV.cpp iterates processes to detect AV by process name hash as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Antivirus detection by process name hash

What does CARBANAK do with this information? It evades AV according to what is installed. Figure 2 shows the code for an AVG evasion that the authors disabled by commenting it out. Based on this, it appears as if the AVG evasion was retired, but FLARE team member Ryan Warns confirmed in November 2017 that it still worked with one minor tweak. FLARE disclosed this to AVG immediately upon confirming it. Avast indicates that after our disclosure, they updated the affected DLL to ignore DLL_PROCESS_DETACH and leave its hooks in place.

Figure 2: Commented out source code to unload AVG user-space hooks

In November of 2017, FLARE also disclosed an evasion for Trend Micro’s detection of process injection that remained active in the CARBANAK source code. The evasion mirrors a technique used in Carberp that replaces remote heap allocation and a call to CreateRemoteThread with memory mapping and queueing of an asynchronous procedure call via QueueUserAPC. Following our disclosure, Trend Micro indicated that they had updated their behavior monitoring rules and released OfficeScan XG SP1 in December 2017 with a new “Aggressive Event” detection feature that covers this behavior.

Author Characterization

Having source code could pose unique opportunities to learn about the individuals behind the keyboard. To that end, I searched for artifacts in the source code dump that might point to individuals. I found the most information in Visual Studio solution files. Most of these referenced drive O: as the source root, but I did find the following host paths:

C:Usershakurei reimuAppDataLocalTemp

C:UsersIgorAppDataLocalTemp

E:ProjectsprogsPetrosjanWndRec…

E:ProjectsprogssbuWndRec…

Unfortunately, these data points don’t yield many answers. If they are observed in later artifacts, connections might be inferred, but as of this writing, not much else is known about the authors.

Source Code Survey

The CARBANAK source code contained numerous exploits, previous C2 hosts, passwords, and key material. I decided to comprehensively search these out and determine if they led to any new conclusions or corroborated any previous observations.

Exploits

I wanted to know if the CARBANAK authors wielded any exploits that were not publicly disclosed. To the contrary, I found all the exploits to be well-documented. Table 1 breaks out the escalation code I reviewed from the CARBANAK source code dump.

The CARBANAK source code also contains code copied wholesale from Mimikatz including the sekurlsa module for dumping passwords from lsass.exe and Terminal Services patching code to allow multiple remote desktop protocol connections.

Secrets

My analysis included an audit of passwords and key material found in the source code and accompanying binaries. Although many of these were used for debug versions, I curated them for reference in case a need might arise to guess future passwords based on passwords used in the source code. Table 2 shows recovered passwords used for RC2-encrypted communications and other purposes along with the corresponding name in the source code and their status as they were encountered (active in source code, commented out, or compiled into a binary).

Table 2: Passwords found in CARBANAK source code and binaries

I found an encrypted server certificate in a debug directory. This seemed like it could provide a new network-based indicator to definitively tie operations together or catch new activity. It was trivial to brute force this container by adapting a publicly available code sample of X509 handling in C# to cycle through passwords in a popular password list. The password was found in less than 1 second because it was the single-character password “1”. The certificate turns out to be for testing, hence the weak password. The certificate is shown in Figure 3, with details in Table 3.

Network Based Indicators

The source code and binaries contained multiple Network-Based Indicators (NBIs) having significant overlap with CARBANAK backdoor activity and FIN7 operations previously observed and documented by FireEye. Table 6 shows these indicators along with the associated FireEye public documentation. This includes the status of each NBI as it was encountered (active in source code, commented out, or compiled into a binary). Domain names are de-fanged to prevent accidental resolution or interaction by browsers, chat clients, etc.

Conclusion

Our analysis of this source code dump confirmed it was CARBANAK and turned up a few new and interesting data points. We were able to notify vendors about disclosures that specifically targeted their security suites. The previously documented NBIs, Windows API function resolution, backdoor command hash values, usage of Windows cabinet file APIs, and other artifacts associated with CARBANAK all match, and as they say, if the shoe fits, wear it. Interestingly though, the project itself isn’t called CARBANAK or even Anunak as the information security community has come to call it based on the string artifacts found within the malware. The authors mainly refer to the malware as “bot�� in the Visual Studio project, filenames, source code comments, output binaries, user interfaces, and manuals.

The breadth and depth of this analysis was a departure from the usual requests we receive on the FLARE team. The journey included learning some Russian, searching through a hundred thousand of lines of code for new information, and analyzing a few dozen binaries. In the end, I’m thankful I had the opportunity to take this request.

In the next episode, Tom Bennett takes the reins to provide a retrospective on his and Barry Vengerik’s previous analysis in light of the source code.
