VMware Tools & SIDEBYSIDE Event ID 33

On a few VM's the VMware tools didn't work. After starting the service, I got an error. This is the error in the Event Viewer:

Activation context generation failed for “C:\Program Files\VMWareTools\plugins\vmusr\vmtray.dll”. Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.MFC,processorArchitecture=”amd64″,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b”,type=”win32″,version=”9.0.30729.4148″ could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

The solution:

Install: 

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable – x86 9.0.30729.4148 (32bits)

or

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable – x64 9.0.30729.6161 (64bits)

WSUS error: Classic,Audit Failure 12-10-2016 08:03:39 MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID 18456 Logon

I could not start the WSUS management console due to a connection error on the Windows 2012 R2 server. In the Event Viewer I found this error:


Classic,Audit Failure 12-10-2016 08:03:39 MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID 18456 Logon


More details:


EventID:18456


Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database 'SUSDB'. [CLIENT: <named pipe>]

Solution:


Do not uninstall any Windows Updates, but try this first:

1. Open an elevated Command Prompt and run "C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\wsusutil.exe" postinstall /servicing
2. Enable HTTP Activation under .NET Framework 4.5 Features in the Server Manager Add Roles and Features Wizard
3. Restart the WSUS service

This solved my problem.

Kali on a Raspberry Pi - Part 4 - Installing FruityWifi

The next step is to install FruityWifi

apt-get install fruitywifi
/etc/init.d/fruitywifi start
/etc/init.d/php5-fpm start

Go to http://<IP-address>:8000 (for http)
Go to https://<IP-address>:8443 (for https)

user: admin
pass: admin

Note: installing fruitywifi will install all modules. If you want to install only some modules, you can install fruitywifi-core first and then each module, for example fruitywifi-module-dnsspoof.

Now FruitWifi is ready to use.
