Gym Facilities

There's a gym facilities available in my office building at the ground floor (lobby) specially for staff use only. After a month working here, today i got a brave (haha) to try those facilities. Lucky at lunch time, no body using it and only me alone there. Quite impressive with the facilities even though it just a small room, sufficient enough for me. I try to target at least twice a week to do the work out. Excited since this is the first time the company i've join got gym facilities. I remembered i've joined gym membership last time at Fitness First when i worked with SCAN (before married, haha). The fees was quite expensive and now i got a privileged as a staff to use gym for free. Excited gila! Orang lain biasa2 je, haha!



Now i feel FRESH!

p/s: the quality of the piccas not good since i'm just using my phone.

Currently: Books I Read


Currently, i'm reading : Security Monitoring:Proven Methods for Incident Detection on Enterprise Networks ebook. Very easy to understand and a good concept too.

I also waiting for book from Amazon.com to arrived at my doorstep which was i bought : Nmap Network Scanning: The Official Nmap Project Guide to Network Discovery and Security Scanning (Paperback) probably will arrive around mid of November. This is my first try to buy a book from Amazon.com. Hopefully it will arrive safely and still in good condition. I try to search this books from local bookstore, unfortunately, seems it doesn't enter Malaysian market yet, or i'm missing the store? Never mind.


And now, i'm enjoyed playing with GPS Garmin XT installed in my phone E66 with cost of RM0.

How: Hiring New S.A?

How to hire security analyst?

Well, I've got few problems here. How to hire new SA? Well, i have few candidates that potentially can work with me together build the new SOC. However, the problems are:

1. They absolutely experienced in shift work, however if they want to change the work environment, they would not want to work on shift anymore.

2. They absolutely experienced and now they want to demand the salary. Their end basic salary was quite high now days and if the company just offer them few hundreds only, would they consider? of course no!

3. Right now they might be in the level of manager/head/senior, would they want to join an MNC company with few hundreds of increment but as Security Engineer doing the task of SA? I don't think so.

4. HR of the company is not clearly describe the offer even though the hiring manager already state what is the benefits/base salary they can offer to the candidate. This could make the candidate confuse whether to join in or take off.

5. I also have a few friends that i confirm can work as SA with shift environment and without any problem to accept the offer, but i don't think they can perform and personally, their technical skill is quite low and their effort is none, duh! Hopefully if I'm desperate enough to hire them, they can change.

6. I'm not sure how to find a new candidate that have security knowledge and experienced and have a good attitude. Anyone want to try?

So, can somebody advice me how to overcome those problems?

However, if you are a security guy - a packets monkey - part of CIRT before - have a knowledge in networks, OS (Linux/UNIX/Windows etc), security - have a good attitude - willing to learn new things - fast learner - got passion in it - willing to share the knowledge - willing to work on shift 12 hours rotation - want to work with MNC company, you can send your CV to me at akramabdulrahman[at]gmail[dot]com. I will review your CV and i will try my best to fwd it to my boss for interview session if you've been shortlisted. There is not promise but i'll try my best.

Good luck!

Climbing The Ladder

I'm in the process of climbing the ladder. From junior system engineer, to assistant researcher, to security analyst, to senior security analyst, to security engineer who do support and implementation and now becoming senior security engineer that will plan, managed and also lead the team of new SOC which is more responsibility. I found a good articles and i would like to shared it here, even though it a bit old and maybe i'll missed it before.

What SOC Should Have?

What do i need for IR or SOC? This is the lists of what i got in my mind for now. If you have any other input, please share with me.

1. People - Of course i will need more people if i want to run the SOC 24/7. At least 2 people per shift if i want to run it on 2 shift which is 12 hours. Well, this got a limitation since we do have a head count.

2. Technology - We already have the technology which is SIEM, IPS, FW, CSS, USD (for ticketing/IR) etc.

3. Room - Yes, we do need room for SOC! It should be private and confidential area that can be accessed by authorize person only. It should be equipped by CCTV, biometric access, PCs (of course), printer, projector, LCDs etc. and i do think it should be a comfort room since people are working 24/7 in this room.

4. Documents - Yes. Documents such as SOP, SLA, manuals, incident forms, analysis forms, asset lists, network diagrams, shift handbooks, monthly reports, executive summary reports, shift schedules etc.

5. Knowledge Bank System - Yes, we do need this system which is can be run intranet. Such as data servers (inclusive movies/ tv series? hehe), wikis, forums etc. The shift handbook can also be in online format since people now days are to environmental like to save a paper :P

6. Training! (and knowledge sharing session) - Yeah, people need training to performing their daily task. Even high level manager still need recognized training. Not only for a specific tools training (SIEM), but include any security domain training too. Anyway, within the hiring process, we still need an experienced people at least have a knowledge in system engineering/system administrator/network, have the skills set of security, have the right attitude and got passionate learning new things.

7. else? please share.

The New Beginning!

Salam, yes, i have started working with the new company last 2 days on 1st October 2009. At that time, my boss is on leave so i've being introduce to others by Lead Security Architect. So far, the introduction is ok, people is ok, environment is ok (it just 2 days only, don't know what's coming next yet). Even though my department is attached under bank but my task will more focus for other financial company.

I got my task the next day, which is quite ad-hoc briefing. Well, not a proper one. They need me to plan how to setup the new SOC. Well, i need to plan the room, schedules, peoples, facilities etc. I will handle SOC team. It's a bit scary, but i will facing it and take out my fear away, huuu!

Need to apply parking space next monday. I have the ideas in my head already, hopefully it can be success and i hope all my engineers who will work with me later can give their fully support work together with me.

Pray for my success!

3.5G @ Terengganu

Yo, i'm now blogging at Anees Chalet, Kuala Terengganu using my TX1000 laptop with Nokia E66 as a modem and 3.5G (HSDPA) connection. Layan gak blogging sambil tengok laut dan nelayan baru nak siap2 gerak pagi2 ni. I've been here since Friday sebab tujuan menghantar my cousin akad nikah dan kawin. Ada macam2 dugaan sepanjang perjalanan ke sini tapi nak buat macamana, dah takdir.

I've been appointed as his photographer but still they have their own photographer kat sini since i need to follow my family la. Tak dapat la nak shoot posing dalam bilik dan outdoor. So, shoot akad dan sanding je la. Haha.

Well, semalam lepas kenduri, kami sefamili berjalan2 ke Taman Tamadun Islam berhampiran dengan Masjid Kristal. Tu pun penat gila since besar gak area dia. Adam sangat cranky sebab gigi dia sakit nak tumbuh. Kesian Adam tapi x kan nak tinggalkan dia. After that ingat nak jalan2 pegi pasar ape ntah kat kuala terengganu ni tapi cancel sebabnye dah lewat 5.30pm, pasar tutup 6.00pm. So,we went back to chalet dan mak, abah dan angah pergi Kota Bharu tido kat rumah Pak Lang sebabnya diorang nak pergi Perlis pagi ni. Mak ada jemputan ceramah. So, tu la yang berlaku pada weekend ni.

Update for my car, hehe. Aku dah convert bumper depan kepada Alfadana, tapi masih sangat typical dengan semua perdana lain.Takde option nak jadi berbeza, but that the start. Alhamdulillah, check ATM semalam, claim dah masuk around 1K+ juga, not sure balance keje 2 hari tu ada masuk sekali ke tak, kene check jumlah claim.

Ok, hari ni nak gerak balik, tapi tak tau lagi samada nak singgah mana2 dan check in satu malam lagi or terus ke KL menggunakan highway. Murni dah reserved 1 day leave so tengok lah macamana. Hehe. Just go with the flow.

Officially Unemployed

Mark today date as my officially unemployed start day. I have been tendered my resignation last month to pursue my career goal in another company. Yesterday, a few of my colleague celebrate my farewell with buka puasa at Sri Melaka Restaurant, Amcorp Mall. Organized by Shirley. Even though it just a small event compared to previous people who left this company, i still appreciate it.

About the restaurant and the foods. What i can said is, superb! The environment is nice. The foods is so yummy. The most i like was chicken (of course) sweet and sour and the butter prawn. Recommended for anyone who want to organize any makan-makan event. So, let's the piccas tell the story. Thanks guys, i will always remember all the moments we shared.

New Building. Old Company.

Hi, i'm blogging from a new office building at Bangsar South! New building but still in the old company. I'm so early today since i'm car polling with my wifey. Her office is at Sec 16, PJ and it just on the way, dropped me first. We took Metramac East-West Link Expressway rm0.50 toll, keluar at Kl-Seremban Highway, Masuk NPE, exit toll Pantai Dalam (U) RM1.60 and then exit at Bukit Kerinchi junction and walla, arrive at Bangsar South without a heavy traffic jam, however, i'm out from house at 7am. Haha.

I think we can use Besraya, masuk NPE, then terus exit Pantai Dalam (U) toll and exit at Bukit Kerinchi since the jam is after Bukit Kerinchi junction. Well, nice office setup but the privacy is not there anymore. Need to share the cubicle with new S.A but currently vacant. Never mind, only 22 days more, hehe. Will post the pictures of my new cubicle from my phone later.

However, i'll do the bandwidth test, quite impressive.

Tender Of Resignation

It's been a while since my last post here. Don't have much time to write but i got a lot in my mind need to let it out. Anyway, just to officially inform that, i have been tender my resignation (again) hahaha with my current company. I have accepted a new job offer with one of Fortune 200 Company which is also still in security line. I will give a notice of 2 months effective from today and my last day would be 2nd of Oct or earlier since i have a balance leave that can be used. My first day at the new company will be 1st of Oct so that i think i still can leave earlier from my current company. I would like to give a big thanks to my immediate boss, Mr. Kevin Wong and all my friends there especially to Hafiz.

I have been enjoying working with this company and i got a lot of experience even though it was a short time of period only (not a year yet). Well, life must goes on and i would like to seek a new challenge with better opportunities, better prospect, better dollar etc. Even though my decision still got a pros and cons, but i believe that there's a Hikmah beside what going to be happen and what have been happen before. Every decision I've made is dedicated to my family - my lovely wife and my handsome son just for their happiness. Thank God for the opportunities and i'm really grateful for it. Alhamdulillah.

My journey continues next 2 months ...

SIEM Products

It's been a while since my last post. Yes, the truth is, i'm so lazy to blog since everyday got problem to troubleshoot (it's not because of me but the Cap Ayam system), we are in the middle of changing the SIEM products to a better one. In gartner report, it's the no one leading and yes the functionality i will say it was number one products in the market right now. So i'm glad if my company approved to change all our customer to this new SIEM products.

As far as i'm working in security field, i have been playing and saw quite a few SIEM products that available in the market right now and i'm glad to have such experiences. I will list the products here which is:

1. OSSIM - an open source SIEM but not much product supported, for the new beta, the interface is quite cool.

2. Tanable Security SC3 - it more for batch analysis and maybe forensics and i think it's not suitable for 24X7 monitoring since it don't have any alerting system and just eye balling.

3. CA eTrust Audit - the concept is quite good but the implementation and architecture is quite complicated. Got a lot problem that i need to face and too much layer to operate and seriously, i don't like it.

4. TriGeo - quite cool product but still got some limitation and not meet my criteria as an analyst to analyze.

5. ArcSight - The most coolest SIEM product in this world right now, but the price is totally high, but still i will vote for arc sight to be the number one. So much function and features can fulfill analyst task everyday 24X7.

6. Splunk - this is not SIEM actually but it was a log collector kind of, but it can perform as IT search engine and relate to security log analysis. I'm quite impress how splunk can perform the search. It's like a google installed in your own pc.

7. RSA envision - The number two? ranking in the gartner report. Not yet play with it but i hope soon.

8. Symantec SIM - Not yet have experience on it but also soon, hopefully.

That's all and i'm glad that i have the chance to experience the top number of SIEM product in this world for today market.

That's all.

E-Filing 2008



Huhu, just finish up my first time filling in my tax info using e-filing system provided by LHDN. It's quite easy if you know what and how to fill in the blank but some of the box is quite confusing at least for me. With help from my friend, Kimi for guide me in filing in the box, i managed to finish and submit the form today. Thanks bro. I don't want to wait until last minutes since the due date is 30 April 2009. I start fill in the e-filing just after i got EA form from my current and previous company.

The tax summary by the system said that i just overpaid the tax, around RM1.5k, yey! Hope the LHDN will sent the money back to me a.s.a.p. Haha.

The tips is, collect all receipt if you buy books or magazines or sport equipments or life and medical insurances for your self, your parent and your family (spouse and kids) and all receipt from your study fee if you continue your degree or master or PHD and open up SSPN if your kids doesn't have one yet. Oh! And don't forget to pay zakat too! It's all counted and will help you reduce your tax payment to LHDN.

That's all.

:)

We're Back!


Yey, we're back from taken a holiday for 4 days and 3 night at Langkawi Island yesterday. Gonna take 1 day buffer day for rest at home and tomorrow will start the routine again as usual. I didn't shopping much but my wife, her mom and her sister do. The only things i bought was air asia cap (don't count i think) and the sun glasses hehe. The only thing i want to do was to ride the cable car haha. Piccas will upload soon. Enjoy!

6th Prime Minister


picture from Malaysiakini.com

Good bye Pak Lah and congratulation as you got the title "Tun" as our 5th Prime Minister of Malaysia has tendering his resignation yesterday and give the position of Prime Minister of Malaysia to his assistant which is Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak. I appreciate what you have done to our country even tough it just 5-6 years only for you to manage our country. Yes, it's not that easy to handle the country when inside the country got a lot of politics ideology and agenda but i think you still deserved to be thankful by the people of Malaysia. Good luck and all the best for your future undertaking.

Congratulation to our new Prime Minister. Hope you can bring Malaysia to the new step further and manage this country well as you got 4th Prime Minister high support. Maybe the cases that involve your name it's true or not, however, i do care if you proven guilty, please step down but if you are not, please make Malaysia safe and secure. Please be a responsible leader as you should be like that of course.

Thank you and congrats to Pak Lah and Najib.

I'm not a big fan of politics. I just want to express my gratitude and thank you to our ex Prime Minister only.

Towards ISO/FF:2009

Hehe, nice title eh? This ISO is dedicated to me which is i put it as ISO/FF means Financial Freedom. Hoho. I have plan for achieving this ISO/FF. Currently even though my payslip figures quite ok for me and still we can survive, however still i'm stuck with many financial crisis such as edu loan, credit cards debts etc. Well, this is it. I will come out with my kamikaze plan to overcome my financial crisis and this need high discipline attitude and also support from people near me.

My initial plan was:

1. Eliminate all(if not all, 90% of it) credit card debts.

2. Eliminate all(if not all, 90% of it) loans including educational loan.

3. Save at least RM500-RM1000 per month from my monthly salary into ASB or Tabung Haji.

4. Invest as many as i can with any low risk investment such as Public Mutual, Fix Deposit, Unit Trust etc.

5. Any Ideas?

Huu.

Good luck to me.

What The #$*@!!!

Tol naik lagi after 1st March! Damn! Aku memang x lalu tol2 yang bakal naik tu sebab tol yg pagi2 aku lalu ni baru je lagi bukak. Tapi, wifey lalu tol yang akan naik tu which is SPRINT untuk pi keje hari2. So kalau 2 way dah RM2x2 = RM4x20 (hari bekerja) = RM80 damn, tu x kira minyak + monthly parking dia lagi, so secara automatic akan effect kat aku juga la nanti. Argh! Tensen2!

Isk, bila la company yang aku tunggu2 ni nak reply aku nye status. Kalau dapat tu memang aku cargas la sebab x yah tol, minyak x guna banyak, x jem, dekat ngan umah, parking x yah bayar, makan senang, pi smayang jumaat senang, etc. Huhu! Tapi x bleh nak berharap sangat, berserah kepadaNya.

Update: Oh Alhamdulillah, they said they will hold the adjustment until next year, so we need to ready for next year. I do wonder, did they really do meeting before they announce it on the media or it just a game for incoming mini election? Hmm, anyway, thank you Government.

Phishing?


I received an email from "Maybank2u" that need me to login into the website and request for TAC. Haha. How i'm able to detect it was a phishing email? It's because:

1. I didn't subscribe my company email to maybank2u instead of my personal email. Yes, the email is going to my company email inbox.

2. The title was "Important Message from Mybank", see the typo. It's Maybank you stooopid!

3. The sender email was "Mybank [service@maybank2u.com.my]", yes maybe they use their own sendmail server or using 3rd party website that can create a spoof email address, but then, it's Maybank not Mybank you stooopido!

4. The receiver email is none, it' seems that they sent this email randomly. Hmm.

5. See paragraph no 4. :

"4. When you have received the TAC (Transaction Authorization Code) on your mobile phone, Log in to our secured verification server and submit the requested information(Account user ID, password and TAC).CLICK HERE to go on our secured server."

The link to secured server is going to : http://mail.gemacocards.com/www.maybank2u.com.my/index.html instead of https://www.maybank2u.com haha.

6. Of course when you click the link, Firefox 3.0 already help you to prevent you to proceed accessing the website. Thanks Firefox!

7. If you installed netcraft firefox plugin to detect any phishing site or where the site is belongs, you can see that the website is hosted in other country instead of Malaysia. Maybank is Malaysian Bank!

8. Another thing is, they do study how Maybank TAC being operated. They ask user to login first and click the request button, then Maybank will sent TAC number via your mobile number, then if the user not aware, they will enter the TAC number with user and password in the front page, auchh! Carefull everyone, maybank will not ask you to enter TAC in the front page instead of after you login to Maybank website.


That's all for now! Guys! you are intelligent enough to detect phishing email. Don't get fooled by them!

Addicted!

Wah! almost a month i didn't update my blog. Really miss to write something in it! Anyway, banyak juga perkara yang best dan biasa2 berlaku dalam hidup aku selama sebulan ni. I am now addicted to jobstreet.com.my and also attending interview, tatau lah kenapa, maybe sebab saja nak test market and saja nak prove yang walaupun keje sekejap je, tapi kalau ada skills, experiences etc. still boleh convince employer untuk hire. Haha. Dulu aku pernah addicted IRC, then addicted to blogging tapi sekarang addicted to view jobstreet.com.my. Haha.

Anyway, banyak juga company yang aku dah pi interview selama aku duk kat company baru after SCAN ni, maybe around 5-6 company tapi baru 1 company yang confirm nak hire, gaji pun boleh tahan besar dia offer, tapi bila fikir balik, route nak pi keje pagi2 tu, dengan jem dan tol, ngan workload yang bakal ada, aku refuse to accept. Tak kisah lah. Anyway, i'm waiting for another company yang offer quite ok la for the position. Since the location is too near to my house and this will reduce my everyday expense. Tak ada jem, tak ada tol, tak payah bayar parking. Stability of the company pun ok la. I heard they are interested in hiring aku but still only email je baru dapat, not a phone call yet. Just waiting for their call since they want to discuss more regarding the basic salary. Anyway tak kisah lah, tunggu je lah, ada rezeki insyaAllah.

Quite busy la dengan project sekarang. Anyway project ni diorang target nak finish and kick off around early of april, hopefully dapat la finishkan sebab aku nak gerak before May kalau ada rezeki haha. Keje macam senang tapi nak kasi up semua tu kene belajar satu2 since my colleague yang dari India tu nak blah dah (tender). Ganas mamat tu, dapat offer gaji RM9K, dem, tapi kene transfer ke Brunei 2 tahun. Anyway x kisah lah, dia orang luar memang senang dapat gaji tinggi2. Local je yang susah kecuali la dapat keje kat MNC. Ohh! Rezeki masing2. Hehe.

Ok lah, final project OUM aku tak siap2 lagi proposal, Project 1 dah terlepas due date, x kisah lah, aku apply balik la project 2 nanti. En. Roslan ni pun senyap macam tak active je, nak meetup pun cam ntah bila nak jumpa. Maybe nextweek kot since aku x jadi pi Penang, kan ma? Huu. Harap2 dapat la siapkan cepat proposal ni, aku nak grad! waaa!

Ok lah, bila la HR company tu nak call aku ni, isk isk, hahahaha. Sabar je la!

:P

>:< Grr!

Hi, it's been a long time since my last update right? My famous reason is, i'm busy with this world (which is Duniawi in malay/arabic). Hahaha. Today i'm still at the office, need to backup syslog files that increasing so high and the linux is just a vmware server with 8.0GB hdd being setup, wahahaha, wtf! They didn't think or expect about this in the future will happen ke? huh! Really make me so fed up with this product also with the people who implemented it before! Anyway, i just copy the syslog files to other server and rm -fr the syslog files and restart the syslog-ng again and walla, go back home la. Demmit!

Huh!

Ya Allah, turunkan lah BALA BENCANA yang sangat DASYAT kepada ISRAEL LAKNATTULLAH itu terhadap kekejaman yang mereka lakukan terhadap rakyat Palestine!!!
