WHy doesn't Microsoft provide contact for security issues
The bogus MS security bulletin is making the rounds
again, and I wanted to report the address it came from so
that Microsoft could track them down, but there is no way
that I can find to post security concerns to them (nor
any way that I can see to actually CONTACT MS people in
any way.) Just in case some one who might chance to
read this has a clue on how to pass it on. Here is the e-
mail address. Seems to be fairly arrogant behavior in
not wanting to talk to anyone about things that affect
their product

How do I config URLSCAN to deny HTTP TRACE
Did a security audit on my Outlook Web Access server today and one of the

Blue screen
I downloaded and installed Norton Internet Security 2004 and ran live
update. Upon completion, a box opens that says to reboot to finish the
update.
Upon reboot, I got an error message that reads:
The instruction at "0x0040a2bc" referenced memory at
"0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
Click ok to terminate the program.
At the time when that error message popped up, my computer also froze. I
could not move the mouse or curser to click ok and close anything.
Can someone tell me where I can find out what that means and what I need to
do to fix it.
Thanks

What is "your-wg5n33dutv"
I have recently installed a internet security package and
it identified a "Invalid Source IP Address" coming from
255.255.255.255 (protocol icmp)and being sent to your-
wg5n33dutv (followed by my currently assigned ip
address). So I am being pinged. I checked with my ISP
and they are not sending it. I ran Ad-Aware and removed
all non-windows related spy ware. I have done a google
search on this and found several articles refering to
your-wg5n33dutv as a location that seems to store results
of some form of data gathering. Is this some part of
Windows XP or some of their spy software? I am confused
how the source IP can be 255.255.255.255? Does anyone
have any idea of what this is??? Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks

MSN Groups Hacked & Taken Over
Two MSN Group Communities were hacked into last Saturday.
All admin managers were removed, posts monitored and
pages deleted. I have provided complete information to
Customer Support and the guy is simply operating both
like he legitimately owns them. Nothin has been done to
get the guy out of them.
The MSN Pets & Animals Channel was actually initiated by
MSN in 2001 and in 2002 they asked me to take ownership
and run it, which have doen since Feb 2002.There are 7000
members wondering what is going on.

Access 2000 Multi User
I have Access 2000 running on a network with four
stations connected to the server, each station has a copy
of the software. When more than one user tries to access
the application we receive an error that says she/he
doesn't have exculsive rights. And when I look at the
directory and file at that time there is a 'lock' icon
on the file.
I looked at the individual security parameters by station,
but don't see anything that looks like it would prevent
access by all users in a multi-user enviorement.
Could this be at the server security level and the
individual stations problem?

Internet Explorer
Today I received a message from Internet Explorer(I have
received these before without a problem) in a blue box
which said that an error had been received and that the
computer had to be closed down. It then gave two boxes;
one said 'send error report' and the other said 'don't
send'. I then chose one of the boxes and closed down the
machine. I think that the error I made was to close down
the machine myself rather than let the software do it!
Anyway, I cannot get rid of this box and everytime I turn
the computer on and try and try and get on the internet
by using Internet Explorer the same message is received.
I have pressed the request boxes to both send and don't a
report and nothing changes. Will someone please tell me
what to do.

Architecture for multiple servers
Hi All,
I am about to upgrade our NT 4.0 servers with 2003 servers. I anticipate
that I will have either 3 or 4 servers operational. One will be for
Exchange, one for Oracle, one for Terminal Server connections, and a fourth
for File sharing and storage. I may be able to squeeze the file storage to
the Terminal Server, but not sure.
Anyway, our current architecture is:
public IP to Nortel Contivity box for VPN access
public IP to NIC1 in exchange server
private IP to NIC2 in exchange server
exchange server performing proxy et al to the local network
I would like to make this more secure. First, and foremost, I understand
that by default 2003 server IIS is MUCH better than 4.0 was. My question
is: should I have a hardware firewall put in place, and route the traffic
based on ports? Should I have 2 NICs in the new exchange server?
I want to do this one right, since I had no say in the original NT system we
are currently using.
Thanks for any input!

MSDN for sale ? Legal ?
I was kinda curious on one issue. I used to receive MSDN and of course loved

I recently saw at a local used bookstore/software store where they had a

is, if this software has already been activated if its legal or not ?
Anyone know the answer on this one ?

Does MSN Messenger use H.323 for voice features. It has
been mentioned that AIM uses the protocol (though AOL has

If Messenger does use H.323 (We know NetMeeting does), has
Microsoft commented on it's possible vulnerability or if
they are testing it?
