RCE Update

Posted: October 26, 2006 in Codes & Utilities, Programming

Just fixed a bug in RCE where the RunAs command wasnt working on a Windows 2000 Based System. The problem was with the LogonUser API call which on W2K based systems need an SE_TCB_NAME privilege to execute (which by default is only given to the SYSTEM account). Apparently Microsoft lifted the restriction with XP and Server 2003. More details about the issue can be found here:
The updated release can be found on the sourceforge here:

Thanks to Emmanuel for pointing the bug out.

I am not dead (yet)

Last month was sad (my beloved lappy got stolen)  termed by mom as my 2nd wife (the first being the old system i used to have at home), losing all ur technical belongings in one go is surely very painful (not to mention frustrating) as well.

Last month was busy – Had to go 8 days in a row dealing with the local police authorities for filing a damn FIR . Ran around in the office to get the documentation done. Finding / recovering stuff from my backups, source servers, internet, personal harddrives, workplace CVS and what not.

Last month was happy – Met some of my old university friends after a long time. Had a great time together.

Last month was boring – With almost quite some activities coming to a halt with no laptop (no blogging / coding  / studying / designing)

Some of my friends thought im sick, with some whom i had some professional comittments thought i ran away :), some thought im dead, oh no im not im still here and back with a bang !!
