    - Selection of Ports for internal website I have an intranet website that is currently assigned as Port=12345, TCP. I see that port was exploited by trojans in the past and I thought it would be good idea change this to a less known number. Do you think that makes sense ? Also, is there any preference (security wise) when assigining ports, or I should just pick whatever from 49152 thru 65535 and that 's it ? Assume this is an internal website. The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023. The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151 The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535 Tag: BBC-TV Computer Security Video For Non-Techies Tag: 70912

    - Malicious microsoft scriptlet component in IE?! Hi, I found an active X, which was named as "microsoft scriptlet component", has been downloaded and started in the IE add-ons. Its related files is mshtml.dll. And I also noticed that in the IE add-ons, there are many unsolicited malicious ACTIVE X downloaded from various websites. In addition to that, an odd pop-up from IE always pops while I open the Outlookexpress. It reads "Do you permit the active things access to your computer? It could be do harm to your computer or leak your personal information". Besides, there is a fifth region which is called "your computer" added in the IE security settings( I have never seen the regions in the IE settings.) It seems that the problem is kind of related to the vulnerablity of IE (Please refer to the link: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS00-055.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms99-012.mspx and http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2002-0022) It is quite odd that my computer is installed with the latest version of IE 6 as well as its patches (SP2+updates). I used a software called safe xp (http://www.theorica.net/safexp.htm). Could the problem be caused by it? How can I prevent the active X from downloading? Please help me!

    - Giving Limited Users a Little More Authority/Permission? Microsoft Gurus: I have Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer Version 6. I created a limited user called "Bill" (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> User Accounts). Unfortunately, it is too limited. I would like for "Bill" to be able to: 1. change his IE6 home page to a local file, e.g., file://C:/index.htm, 2. change his IE6 security settings (Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> Security section) to "allow active content to run in files on My Computer". He can go through the motions of doing both, receives no error messages, but his changes do not take. How can I start with a limited user and selectively add one permission/authority at a time? Thanks. Tag: BBC-TV Computer Security Video For Non-Techies Tag: 70815

Does that mean the csrss.exe is a virus? In task manager, the csrss.exe is running and cannot be stopped. Any thought is appriciated. Thanks In Advance!

    - Green Admin - Brute Force Attack - Pls Help I am a pretty good desktop tech who has been thrust into server admin. I have 2 domain controllers, one 2003, one NT and support the finance departments of a small University. I have enabled strong passwords on the 2003 server and have setup lockouts on both after 5 incorrect attempts for 5 minutes. Multiple machines on campus, not under my control, have been infected or otherwise compromised and are walking through my userbase attempting logins and locking out the accounts on both machines. I recently disabled anonymous SAM listing apparently to no avail. I am asking for any insight, help, suggestions, or anything I can do other than simply letting these attemps go rampant and disabling lockout. Even though we use DHCP (with quite long leases) I am considering blocking all TCP except from each of my users (approx 70) as this situation as it stands is unacceptable and adding an IP every week or so is much better than the ordeal I endured all day today.

    - Windows Server 2003 SP1 DCOM using RPC Proxy not working, rpcping For a customer case, I need to get DCOM running on top of HTTPS between two Windows Server 2003 machines. I have successfully installed two Windows Server 2003 servers with RPC Proxy installed. Also these two servers have IIS running both with a certificate from the same CA - and they trust this CA. I am able to use the resource kit utility rpcping to verify that the RPC works on top of HTTPS. This works without any problems. So basically there is a hole through Now I want to verify that DCOM also works on top of HTTPS. I use the wbemtest or wmic.exe utility to verify this. When I try to connect from the one server using something like wmic /node:<othernodefqdn> /user:<othermachine>\<remoteuser> os I get an error saying that the RPC server is not available. A netmon trace shows no packages when I get this error. In this case I have only "Tunneling TCP/IP" installed as protocol under dcomcnfg, whereas packages are being sent when and it tries with normal DCOM/RPC/TCP ports when I also enable the use of connection oriented ports. How can I test that DCOM also works. I used to have this working on Windows 2000, where I got wbemtest.exe working on top of HTTP without any problems. I have read various KB's on the topic and I don't think I have any permission problems, but something is missing, - either in my understanding or in the configuration.

What actually is that in a Win 2k machine? What does it do? Is currently the highest level of encryption in windows 128 bits? Is PGP a good software doing that? Or it's actually something else?

    - REQ Opinions on User/PWD functionality Nearly every where you see an attempt at security, you'll see the user name in plain text, and a password obscured by asterisks. I am wodering if there is currently any valid reasons why there are two parts to gaining access. Why not just have a hidden password, which some administrator associates with a user? Certainly name/password conflicts shouldn't be a problem when only 5 characters (letters or numbers) yield over 60 million combinations. 7 characters yields a permutation of over 78 billion combinations. I am looking to reduce the amount of time I spend at work entering in my username and password for the data entry programs I have to use. Entire groups of people have to go through this same routine, several times a day, and I'd like to suggest some way to remove this task, or to make it less of a time consuming activity. We already use hand scanners for a significant amount of repetative data so that would be one method, to provide the bar codes for each user and their password. But I'd like to gain a little knowlege on why we need the user name part, if just the password can be used to identify the user. Simply reducing the requirement to just the password would cut the time in half. So I wonder if there are valid concerns where the username part aids in security. ???

    - remote downlevel document Hi, our printers suddenly print some nonsense characters on papers and this is logged as "remote downlevel document owned by x printed x pages/bytes..." on system event log of print servers with event ID 10. The users are just a few persons we saw from log detais and they all have local admin rigths on their domain machines. We scanned for virus/worm on their machines, but nothing is detected (machines are clean). we also scanned for spywares with MS anti spyware beta and spybot and they detected nothing. Now what can be the problem of this strange printing attempts?? Printing attempts start nearly synchronously from these few users who are located at different sites.

Please correct the problem and restart or store from backup. 4th - service[676] Unable to rollback operation #8879 on database C:\Windows\Security\Database\secedit.sdb. Error -510. All future database updates will be rejected. I verified that the disk isn't full and did not see a duplicate log file that it claims to be copying it to. The only information that I could find regarding this issues is Article Q324383. I am hesitant to follow the one procedure where you rename the secedit.sdb file and recreate it. I did move all of the log files into a oldsecurity folder as it stated and restored the secedit.sdb file from a recent backup; however, this did not help any. I also made a copy of the secedit.sdb file and ran "Security Configuration and Analysis" against this file and received the "Error 108: An exteneded error has occured" Any suggestions?

    - MS AntiSpyware "This version ... has expired as of May 7, 1931" I installed the current Beta 1.0 on April 20, 2005. Attempted to run it and received a message box: "This version of Microsoft AntiSpyware has expired as of May 7, 1931." and further text suggesting I contact MS for an update. I've been working with a representative from Microsoft PC Security and he had not heard of this particular message from the MS AntiSpyware program. On this XP Pro machine, he had me run a scf /scannow, a full system scan in Safe Mode using Norton AntiVirus Pro 2004, and we examined each task in Task Manager. The four tasks the technician flagged as indicated a possible virus were: mdm.exe and inetinfo.exe, which are both MS debugging programs that wouldn't normally be running; rundll32.exe, which might or might not be being used by a virus; and opware32.exe. The last one is an Omnipage program, and I do have Omnipage on my system. Given the checking of core Windows files, the clean virus scan, the correct system clock (!), the having in place of Automatic Updates for Windows and Norton over the last year or so, as well as being behind a D-Link firewall, would anyone else have any other ideas why the buggy message box? The only other clue I have of some system problem is during shut down. I get one or two message boxes saying Explorer is needing to be shut down, they are not terminating normally, even though I have closed the application. Thanks for any help regarding this. Ian J.

    - Is an OS installed vulnerable software which has open source code secure? Could the security of OS be affected with the vulnerable software which has open source code? Or it is insecure just when I use the software? Thank you. Tag: BBC-TV Computer Security Video For Non-Techies Tag: 70684

    - Security Bulletin Summaries and Update Numbers Once again in the April Security Summary some of the Update Numbers listed are not those which are actually downloaded by Windows Update. For example MS 05-023 shows Update Number 890169 but this seems really to be a cover for updates 887977, 887978 and 887979, one of which will be downloaded depending on which version of Word is in use. Would it not be a good thing for customers who receive the Monthly Summaries to be able to check off the updates downloaded by Windows Update directly against those listed in the Summary, rather than delving into various Bulletins to find the relevance of the update which Windows Update produced ? Could the Monthly Summaries not be expanded to show the numbers of the updates which will *actually be downloaded*, preferably against the product affected ? I have made this point before by e-mail to Security Response but was told this was a 'technical support issue' so I didn't get too far.

This BBC-TV video, in 6 minutes, shows very plainly how dangerous the internet
is today.

It won't show anybody here anything new, but if you have friends or family that
don't read here regularly, it's worth sharing with them.

It omits only 1 detail - which relates specifically to the example shown - but
other than that, IMHO, it is relevant, current, and very brief.
