Mount a VMware a Virtual Disk in Windows

How to Mount a VMware Virtual Disk in Windows

Here is handy tool that is part of VMware Workstation, but isnt as well know as some features but can be a real timesaver!

Let’s say your working on a Virtual Machine however it is turned off but you quickly need to pull an important file from it to use or check something you would normally have to go through the process of booting the whole VM to get to the file which may not be desirable if it takes a while to boot the VM, or you dont have the spare RAM (maybe you already have another VM or two running).

Thankfully, VMware can save you some hassle as it includes a tool to map VMware virtual hard disks directly to to the host computer without needing to boot a Virtual Machine at all. To use this tool simply go to File > Map or Disconnect Virtual Disks and click on the Map option, then point it to the .vmdk virtual disk file and select the drive letter to map it to. When you click Ok the drive will load which can take a few seconds and then you will have the disk available to use.

There are however a couple of important limitations to note:

· You can only mount partitions that are formatted FAT or NTFS (on Windows anyway), any non-FAT or NTFS partitions that exist in a Virtual Disk won’t be mounted.

· You can’t mount a Virtual Disk that is compressed, encrypted or set to have read-only permissions.

· To run the Virtual Machine that uses a mounted Virtual Disk, you must first disconnect the disk via the Map or Disconnect Virtual Disks menu.

Finally, here is a final warning that I have taken from the VMware Manual that is worth reading if you make use of snapshots (either linked or un-linked ones):

Caution VMware recommends that you leave the check box “Open file in read-only mode” selected in the Map a Virtual Disk dialog box. This setting prevents you from accidentally writing data to a virtual disk that might be the parent of a snapshot or linked clone. Writing to such a disk might make the snapshot or clone unusable.

Homemade “Find My iPhone” for Android – Free

iPhone users can pay $99 per year for a tool to find their lost iPhone. On Android, just under $6.50 (once) lets you build your own GPS-locating, SMS-triggered tracker for your lost-or-stolen Precious. Here's how to do it.

After installing a program and setting up a script, you'll be able to set your phone to watch for an SMS, from a certain number, containing a certain piece of text. When it finds it, you can have your phone buzz, make a sound, even say something like "Help!" out loud, and pop up a text on the screen indicating that something is amiss. That's the warning shot, for those do-gooders who actually return phones. In any case, your phone quietly turns on its GPS and Wi-Fi sensors in the background, then sends you back a text with the best GPS data it could get. You can modify this script to your heart's content, though, to be more obnoxious, send back more info, or run other programs when you send your code.

Check out the video above for a low-rent crime thriller that shows this system in action.

As some regular readers might have guessed, the secret sauce to building this app is Tasker. It's an automation app for Android that costs about $6.25 U.S. at the moment, available both through the Market and the developer's own site. We've previously walked through the basics, explored geekier setups, and highlighted some awesome reader uses. Now we're going to walk through one of the most useful Tasker profiles we've seen, the root setup for which came from Lifehacker reader Eric.

Set Up a Location-Grabbing Profile

Your Android phone does not constantly check its location when GPS is turned on—it'd be kind of scary if it did, not to mention battery murdering. We're going to create a profile that does make the phone grab its coordinates as best it can, using both a GPS fix, if available, and triangulation of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots that Google knows about.

On Tasker's main "Profiles" screen, hit the New button at bottom. Choose the "Location" as your Context—the "if" in your "if/then" automation. Make sure that both Net and GPS are turned on with green highlights, and that the Radius option is set to its closest option, 30 meters. Just hit "Done" here, because we don't actually need to make Tasker find our current location, but simply have a profile that does that when asked to. You'll see what we mean in a minute.

On the next screen, where you're asked to add Tasks to fire off when your Context is met, we're going to add just one simple task. Hit the "+" button in the lower-left, choose the "Tasker" category, then select "Stop" and hit "Done" on the pop-up screen, then "Done" again on the list of Tasks. All we want this profile to do is turn on and get the location. Adding "Stop" merely makes it a one-trick pony.

Back at the main screen, find that location-fixing Profile you've just created, with the flag icon in the left-hand column. Tap once on that flag icon, then expand the arrow next to the "Profile" option. Select the "Name" or "Rename" option, and give it a name that makes sense, like "GetGPSfix." You're done with that profile now, so let's create the real phone-finding automaton.

Build Your Phone-Finding Snitch Profile

Back at Tasker's main Profiles screen, hit the New button again, but this time choose "Event" as your context, pick the "Phone" category, and "Received SMS" as your event.

You'll want to think about the number and message you enter in here. In my case, I use a Google Voice account to manage my SMS, so I effectively have two numbers—the "hard" number that my phone carrier assigns me, and which Tasker is monitoring on the phone, and my Google Voice number, which I can send texts from using any browser. If you're not rolling with Google Voice, you can easily set up the phone of a significant other or very good friend—just make the activation text very unique.

Be sure to format the phone number watched for with a "+1" in front of your full 10-digit number—that's how it works in the U.S., at least. If you're setting up another person's phone as the trigger number, you can press and hold on the field under "Sender" and select that person from your Contacts list, too. In the "Message" field, use a code that nobody's going to send you casually—"SOS" in caps should work fine.

At the Tasks list, it's time for you to set up your actual emergency plan. In general, you're going to create some noise on the phone itself and leave a call-back number (your friend or your Google Voice account), then turn on GPS and Wi-Fi and text yourself with the inside info anyways.

Here's how I set up my list of tasks—the order is somewhat important, but you can add or modify these steps to your liking. If you come up with something good farther down the line, no worries: you can press and hold on any task and drag it up or down the priority list.

Hit the "+" button before each task to create it, then follow these menu options:

§ Alert -> Notify Sound: The "Title" field will show up in your Notifications Bar, along with the "Text" you include. Don't change "Number," but feel free to fire off a custom sound file, if you'd like.

 

Alert -> Popup: Enter something like "Help!" in the Title, then fill out the Text as if it were a Post-It note on your phone. My text, derived from Eric's suggestion: "I have been stolen or left somewhere inadvertently. Please contact Kevin at [friend's phone number]." Move the Time slider all the way to the right, to keep that pop-up message for 38 seconds—though, if he was savvy with an Android, the thief or finder could hit the Back or Home buttons to dismiss it. But that's okay, because we're moving ahead!

• Misc GPS: Set to "On."
• Net -> WiFi: Set to "On."
• Tasker -> Profile Status: Long-press on the field under Name, then pick that profile we created above to get the location fix—"GetGPSfix" in my case. Set it to go "On."
• Tasker -> Wait: Move the Seconds slider over to about 30. We're waiting 30 seconds, after turning on GPS and WiFi, to give the location grabber some time to get a fix, or maybe the thief or reluctant returner to move near a window.

 
Phone -> Send SMS: Enter your Google Voice or friends' number in the Number field, then enter this text in the Message. You can change it up, add more variable data, but be sure to include at least the following variables in all caps with a percentage sign in front:

It is %DATE at %TIME. Phone is located at: %LOC. Batt: %BATT.

You'll get back just what it sounds like, but the "%LOC" comes back as a pretty long string of GPS coordinates, so you'll want to keep it relatively simple so as not to break the string into two different texts.

• Misc -> GPS: Set to Off.

You could have the WiFi turn off at the end, too, or bring up another pop-up message letting the thief know that his location is being constantly monitored—but I like to go the quiet route, rather than have my phone end up smashed or discarded.

Track Your Phone

Click image above for a larger view.

With that profile running on Tasker, your phone is now quietly monitoring incoming SMS messages to see if any come from that one number, with that one message. If it does, it sends back a text similar to what you see above. The nice thing about those GPS coordinates? You can plug them directly into Google Maps and see where your phone went off to—or help the police see.

I took my phone to the Sweet_ness 7 Cafe in Buffalo, placed it on a table a few feet away from a window, and sent myself a text from Google Voice. Lo and behold, the GPS coordinates it sent back were right on the money—even if Street View hadn't been updated there since the cafe renovated the space. Your mileage, vis-a-vis the thief's activities, will certainly vary, but since you're the one with control over your GPS and Wi-Fi toggles, there's a good chance your phone will eventually end up in the great wide open. And if you simply left your phone sitting somewhere, you can get a rough fix on where it is, and see how much battery life it's got left before you'll have to stop trying.

---

Thanks again to reader Eric for writing in with his awesome use of Tasker, along with a helpful poster in the Android Forums who explained the best way to get a GPS fix in Tasker with separate profiles.

Got questions on the setup? Have a craftier idea for a lost or stolen phone script? We want to hear it all in the comments.

Lock Your Workstation Using Bluetooth (Phone)

Friday, December 3rd, 2010 by William Edwards

In most enterprise environments, desktop locking is a part of group policy and adds to the security of your network by ensuring that a passer-by can’t use your workstation for nefarious purposes. BlueProximity/BlueLock are the perfect programs to help increase this security to your desktop.  It does so by detecting one of your bluetooth devices, most likely your mobile phone, and keeping track of its distance. If you move away from your computer and the distance is above a certain level (no measurement in meters is possible) for a given time, it automatically locks your desktop (or starts any other shell command you want). You can also use the program to do fun and interesting things such as automatically changing your IM status to away when you leave your computer or playing an audio file to gloriously praise your return.

The process itself it relatively simple. You just need to pair your phone to your computer, and then install either BlueProximity or BlueLock depending on if you’re using Linux or Windows respectively. If you’re using Linux, you can simply install BlueProximity via your distribution’s package manager.

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt-get install blueproximity

Windows

Install via SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluelock/

From there you can pair your phone, and have fun!

DNS with a DD-WRT Router

Setup Local/Internal DNS with a DD-WRT Router

I’ve talked about some features of the DD-WRT router before, and one of the things I’ve been playing around with lately is DNSMasq. There’s a good chance you haven’t noticed this setting in DD-WRT because it’s not something most people would ever think to use. Plus DNSMasq can be found in two different areas within DD-WRT since it can be used for both DHCP assignments as well as internal/local DNS management. What I will be focusing on is the local DNS aspect.

When is using DNSMasq useful for controlling DNS? Here are some examples as to why you may want to use it:

 

• You have DNS pointing to something that is hosted on your home network and it is also accessible from outside your network. For example, you may have a security camera that has a domain attached to it (e.g. camera.example.com), and it’s accessed from both on and off your network. Using DNSMasq on your router you can make the domain, camera.example.com, point to the internal IP of the camera so that anyone who accesses that camera from within your network won’t have to rely on external DNS getting resolved. You should see at least a slight performance boost that way.

 

• You want to override public DNS entries, such as google.com. You can obviously pull off some great pranks by directing traffic to sites like google.com or facebook.com to some custom site you create, but there are other reasons this is legitimately useful. Maybe you are testing a new version of your own website, but want to make sure it will work fine with the live domain. DNSMasq can help you accomplish that.

 

• You want to create DNS for a site that is accessible using only a single word, such as intranet. Companies do this kind of thing all the time where an internal-only website can be reached without needing or wanting a publicly-accessible URL.

 

I know what you may be thinking… why wouldn’t you just update the HOSTS file on your local machine? Well, you could, but not all devices support that feature. By using DNSMasq the DNS change will work for anything connecting to your router, including mobile devices such as phones and tablets.

So what do you have to change in DD-WRT? Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to the Services tab once you’ve logged into the administration interface.
2. Find the section labeled DNSMasq, and make sure the DNSMasq option is enabled.
3. This is the fun part. In the Additional DNSMasq Options box type out your local DNS configurations in the format of one entry per line:
   • address=/machine_or_domain_name/ip_address – where machine_or_domain_name is what you want to create/change DNS for (e.g. camera.example.com, google.com, intranet) and ip_address is the new IP address you want it to point to.
4. Apply the settings to DD-WRT, and you should be all set.

This is an example of what your DNSMasq settings may look like:

If your devices don’t see the changes after they’ve been made you may need to try restarting them since that is often the simplest way to clear the DNS cache.

PuTTY With Multiple Windows (Tabs)

Get Tabs for your PuTTY

It seems like everybody uses the free PuTTY client for accessing SSH from Windows, but the lack of a tabbed interface has kept me using the commercial SecureCRT application for years… until now.

With the PuTTY Connection Manager you can not only use tabs, but also wrap PuTTY in a slick interface. The underlying client is still the same putty.exe that you are used to… in fact the application doesn’t even come bundled with it.

The first time you launch the application you’ll be asked to enter the location to your copy of PuTTY.

And finally, a tabbed version of PuTTY!

The connection manager can be docked to the side by using the little pushpin button.

Right-clicking on a tab or using the Tools menu will allow you to get to the PuTTY menu

In the configuration dialog you can specify a bunch of options including an automatic login macro or passing command line parameters to putty.

You can either click the configuration button above, or choose PuTTY Configuration from the tools menu.

Which brings up the PuTTY Configuration dialog for the actual putty.exe underlying application.

There’s a lot more features to this application that I haven’t gotten to yet… you can even change the theme.

Download PuTTY Connection Manager from puttycm.free.fr

[ Syslog Server ]

While I was testing Splunk, I need to add more devices to Splunk index pages. This example shows how to configure Enterasys Switch to forward syslog message to the server. It's simple and easy to setup.

In this example, server's IP is 192.168.77.13 and UDP port 514 is used. Severity level is 8.

  Enterasys(su)>set logging server 1 ip-addr 192.168.77.12 port 514 severity 8 state enable

To verify

 

  Enterasys(su)>show logging server

IP Address    Facility   Severity      Description  Port  Status 
--------------------------------------------------------------- 1 192.168.77.12    local4    debugging(8)     default     514   enable

If you want to change default value to facility local 5 and severity 5, configure below.

Enterasys(su)>set logging default facility local 5 severity 5

To see currently logging severity levels for all applications on your devices, type below commands

Enterasys(su)>show logging application all

[ Upgrade Firmware ]

As you know Enterasys was named Cabletron company long long time ago. I guess more than decade Cabletron was one of strong vendor on switches market at that time. Due to I had really good experience with Cabletron product, I trust Enterasys's product line. Actually, I installed many Enterasys switches since 2005. Today, I just want to share a tip to upgrade firmware on Enterasys switches. Compare to generic 3rd party switch vendors, Enterasys release new firmware more often. Well, some of people might say due to all lot of bugs, but I like to say "Diligent and effort" (too much?).There are detailed documents from vendor, but this guide would be easier for beginner. Well, lets see what the steps to complete upgrading firmware are.
1. Find out what model of switch you are upgrading and what is current version of firmware running on the switch. Type "Show version" from the prompt.

- Model : C3G124-48
- Firmware : 01.01.02.0007

2. Go to the website "www.enterasys.com" and download proper firmware from the download library. and extract firmware to any folder your tftp server will use.

3. Assign IP address on the Enterasys switch in order to communicate with you computer which is running tftp server.
ex) computer 192.168.1.47, Enterasys switch is 192.168.1.8, default gateway .254

"set ip address 192.168.1.8 mask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.254"

4. Ping the Enterasys switch from your computer.

5. Execute tftp server. (If you don't have, just down one from solarwinds)

6. Copy firmware from tftp server

Enterasys(su)->copy tftp://192.168.1.47/c3-series_01.02.04.0005 system:image

- I will take time...to be done (few minutes)

7. From the switch, make sure new firmware is uploaded and check which firmware version is on active.

8. Type to "set boot system c3-series_01.02.04.0005" to booting up switch with new firmware(active).

B2(su)>>set boot system c3-series_01.02.04.0005
Do you want to replace ? (y/n) y

Automatically Enterasys switch will reboot.

9. Confirm now, new firmware is on active status.
