I am going to be conducting a little class for the seniors in my community and as part of this class I am going to be taking a live call from one of these "Microsoft Certfied" Scammers I have a fake syskey installed in my vmware a fake tree and now I want to put like a text in the grey area that says "This is not used to detect viruses when they run event viewer. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?
I don't think this is possible actually.
You can probably change the gui elements / file explorer backgrounds, but that would change it for all system interface elements.
Was just googling MMC snapin customize or custom MMC snapin loader.
Really, the only way is if you create a custom program that loads through the win32_api mmc console, just like windows does. That way you can have the program look like whatever you want, but it basically does the same thing.
dang, any way to get system info to not display virtual machine?
Enable/Disable System Properties Access from My Computer - Current User
[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: NoPropertiesMyComputer
Value Data: [0 - Display Properties / 1 - Hide Properties]
Exit Registry and Reboot
Enable/Disable System Properties Access from My Computer - Local Machine
[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: NoPropertiesMyComputer
Value Data: [0 - Display Properties / 1 - Hide Properties]
Exit Registry and Reboot
Also rename msinfo32.exe to something else in c:\windows\system32
i would video tape it for youtube but there is already enough troll videos out there. This is just to show the senior citizens what happens. I have had to personally clean 4 computers that fell for an indian support scam. I'm Done.
hahhaha, haven't laughed like that in awhile.
Sorry, but that's some bullshit right there, targeting senior citizens... low life's man.
Sending them the troll videos wouldn't hurt. Let them see how it happens and it will probably make a bigger impact, because some of them are hilarious.
Also, telling them to enable UAC is a good idea.
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system -Name EnableLUA -Value 1
In powershell should work, so just save that as a .ps1, tell them to run the script and restart their computer.
adding a " ; restart-computer"
should also reboot for them.
have you seen some of the interviews with the scammers that hate their jobs? The purposely propose higher prices to seniors because thats the target audience. They arent the type to sit and watch a video but me interacting is a whole nother story. Gotta know the audience you know. I'm looking forward to it.
No, I haven't seen that. That sort of actually makes me feel bad for them, like if they are stuck in that position, doing work that they hate, and can't find something else? Man...
Makes me sort of feel lucky to be where I am in life.
At least they are behind a computer doing something, and not shovelling shit.
But hey, cons are a dime a dozen nowadays. Unsurprising that people out of desperation, do things that they otherwise wouldn't do.
Good luck man :), recording the talk probably isn't a bad idea too, because it will help you improve, document it + refine it, also if you ever wanted to start a youtube channel, or share it up here. Up to you though obviously, just a thought.
You could change the enviroment path to a basic binary you make, so systeminfo in CMD runs your binary.
