    - permanent solution to viruses Did you ever wonder....do antivirus companies genuinely hope that hackers will have a change of heart and stop trying to infect other people's computers? That's obviously not the case. For the antivirus companies, such as Norton, a reduction in number of hackers/viruses would cause their business to fail. Norton, like law-enforcement, THRIVE BECAUSE of the bad things that people do. This in and of itself is not a bad thing. But now I'm gonna show you my point. If you found out that by sitting at your computer for a mere 5 minutes a day, you could generate thousands of dollars in revenue for your company each month, would you do it? Of course you would. What business owner would take steps to make sure she MISSES OUT on this money-making opportunity? Well now... if companies like Norton thrive on the existece of hackers (sort of like Satan, who is responsible for keeping the church in business), then what exactly would prevent the stock-owners of that company from hiring anonymous geeks to spread new viruses, thus ensuring Norton will be continually needed in the future by ignorant poeple who shore don't want any viruses? Perhaps you are familier with CPS (Child Protective Services). Know what happens if the reps they hire go too easy on the families accused of crimes against children? They ensure that their local CPS office will have progressively less and less work, and eventually ensure the future loss of their job. How can they avoid this? By turning mountains into molehills. If your child falsely accuses you of abusing them, you can be sure CPS will justify their continued future employment by dragging you through the courts, threatening to take away your child if you don't conform, or threating not to give the child back. Wow, ain't nothing like drumming up business for yourself which guarantees your own employment security, amen? This CPS thing is an analogy to the antivirus companies. In short, the very idea that they truly wish all hacker would come to know Jesus and stop this virus stuff immediately is ridiculous. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that IF companies like Norton secretly hire hacker to continually infest the internet with ever-new viruses, they assure themselves a very prosperous future in that business. The analogies are endless. Suppose a cop gets a mean talk from his Sergent for not fulfilling his monthly quota of arrests? Being in the privileged position he is in, what could he do to make his boss very happy? You guessed it, start arresting people more often when he otherwise would let the issue die with just a warning. Speeding tickets are so easy. If his boss says he ain't giving out the full quota expected, he can just start pulling people over for doing 60 in a 50 mph zone, instead of waiting to zap the 70 mph speeder. Hell, why not carry a little cocaine around in a plastic bag on the job (whose gonna frisk a cop?), and the next time he's called to the scene of a relatively calm situation, he can request to search the car, or have it towed away then searched if they don't comply (guaranteeing the driver will allow the search), and he can plant his cocaine on the guy, and be the hero of the day back at the cop shop. Think about it....that cop will lose his house and credit cards and probably his family if we all started obeying the laws of the land like paranoid monks. It should now be as clear to you as the sun on a cloudless day at noon....that antivirus companies can be fully expected to guarantee humanity will need them in the future by spreading newer and newer virus threats themselves. Now that the sermon is over, you don't need antivirus software to stay safe from the onslaught of online hackers. All you need are two hard drives and one copy of Norton Ghost. Use one hard drive for your operating system. Use the other for storage only. Run Norton Ghost and make a back up of your operating system before you surf the internet. Now surf all you please. If your computer starts manifesting symptoms of spyware/virus infection, such as slowing down, acting inconsistent... simply run Norton Ghost and tell it to replace your current operating system with the pristine back up copy. Now you've surfed where you wanted, and it only took 5 minutes of Ghost Restore to put your computer back in perfectly clean top running shape. Now unless you only surf hacker/porn/illegal/cracks type websites, you should be able to access your hotmail, yahoo, use google to search and click on the search hits, for at least a month before you find it necessary to run Ghost and restore your computer. Personally, I have my computer set up to automatically run Ghost every night after I go to bed. I am greeted in the morning by one beautiful woman and one very clean and virus-free computer. The only sacrifice you have to make is that whatever you download from the internet or save from cd-rom, must be placed on the second hard dive, where the Ghost back up files are. Cuz if you just download stuff to your desktop, theywill all be wiped out with everything else as soon as you run the ghost restore. I haven't used virus protection for the last three years, and yet I surf the internet sometimes up to 10 hours a day (I'm retired, I hope you get something more out of this post than the mere shock that other poeple have no kids and more time than you. Here's a parting thought: You realize that you have to download ANTI-virus definitions, so that you antivirus software knows what to look for to disinfect your computer, right? Those antivirus definitions, though small, are nevertheless all necessary to make sure your computer doesn't get infected by any of the thousands of viruses that are out there now, and that have been around since 1996. Ever wonder how much space those definitions are gonna take up on your hard drive after 10 years goes by? In the year 2016, you will all probably need an extra 200 gig hard drive just to hold all the anti-virus definitions that will be necessary to keep up with 10 years of new viruses! But don't worry...I'm sure Norton and Microsoft will figure out a way to get you those extra hard drives real cheap. Ain't that just sweet of them? I never wait around to hear you say thanks. I KNOW you are thankful that my parents met each other. Just look down whenever I walk by and we won't have any mess, kapeesh? Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 86010

    - Question regarding Cryptographic Hash ... Sorry for posting this purely theoritical question in this forum. Members may say that this question better suited to be posted in any other newsgroups. Since, I am not clear where exactly to post this question, and this forum also deals with security, I have posted it here. With a thought, that many members must be knowing in details of Hashing algorithm they use, here goes the question: I was asked a question in B-Level exams for Network security. Long after 6 months, the question still remain unanswered to me. I am very interested for getting answer for this question. Can you please elaborate on this ? ------------------- Consider the random cipher model with random variables M, C and K for plain text, cipher text and key, respectively. Give an interpretation in cryptographic terms of this equation: H(M,C) = H(M) + H(C) Also specify an example of a cryptosystem, which has this property. ------------------- As far as I know, this is computing Hash of M and C separately and cancatinating them. Also, it claims that when a Hash is computed with M and C (combined), it is same as the cancatination. Is it possible given the rules of strong hash functions? Anyway, the above was my Interpretation, please let me know the Experts comments on this. Thanks, *(Vipul)() ; Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 86009

    - The Oscarbot.IV, Peerbot.B and Netsad.B worms Oscarbot.IV is a worm that opens several communication ports on infected computers, allowing attackers to access the system remotely. It also drops the Protestor.A Trojan on the system, which can capture screenshots and steal user data. Oscarbot.IV spreads via America On Line Instant Messenger, sending messages to all active user contacts. When run, it is installed on the system as a service called "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Notification", trying to pass itself off as a Microsoft antipiracy service and ensuring it is run on every system startup. Peerbot.B can open a backdoor to receive commands from an attacker via IRC. It can also steal data from SQL Server or Mysql databases on the computer, which it then sends out via email. When run, the worm creates several files on the system, such as Taskdrv.exe (a copy of the worm itself) and Libmysql.dll, a library belonging to the Mysql database. Peerbot.B can spread using email or P2P file-sharing programs. It creates numerous files in the shared folders in P2P programs under names that refer to cracks for well-known applications and games. When other users of the P2P program run a search, they could find the infected files of the initial victim among the results. To avoid detection, Peerbot.B terminates a long list of processes related mainly with security tools, firewalls or even other malware. It also modifies the hosts file to block access to web pages related with security products. Netsad.B is a worm that spreads as an email attachment, using messages such as "sharing files is the essence of living". It also uses several P2P applications, including Kazaa or Emule, creating copies of itself in shared folders so that it can be downloaded by other users. Netsad.B can only operate if the computer has Microsoft .NET framework 2.0. When run, it creates a copy of itself called winservices.cab.bak.exe in the Windows system folder. It also creates copies of itself with a variety of names, including some related to antiviruses, in the other system drives. In order to remain hidden, the worm terminates a series of security-related processes, leaving the computer vulnerable to further attack. Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85990

    - Securing a Mobile 5 Device Hello all, I am cross posting to Security and SBS since we are an MSBS with our M5 devices connecting to SBS environments. We are migrating our organization, and subsequently clients, from Palm to M5 devices. On the Palm, we have an easy to manage encryption software package that encrypts data on the device and on the SD card. Is there anything out there that is reasonably priced for small business that is similar in its abilities? We are looking to encrypt the Outlook data on the M5 device itself, since it contains sensitive information... The remote wipe will not work if the unit is in a faraday cage or in some way radio isolated. It also will not take care of the data on any media cards inserted in the M5 device. We are also looking to encrypt the contents of the media cards. Any help pointing us in the right direction is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Philip Elder MSBS Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85986

    - Computer(s) keep trying to crash on me. It seemed to start about 6 months after I bought a new computer from infotech. It is running XP pro, has an MSI motherboard and cable modem. I was running Defender antivirus and firewall, but someone was able to disable the firewall and antivirus (from a remote location) without me noticing. I usually turn the computer off at night, or if I won't be using it for a while, but evidently the computer doesn't need to be on to access it remotely. Anyway, I turned it on one morning and noticed the display was different, the mouse and keyboard both had their drivers removed and all my email was gone. Shortly after that you could hear the harddrive running like crazy. I assumed it was a virus, so i tried going into msconfig to turn most of the stuff off. I noticed windows explorer was running, along with remote desktop and a few other web-publishing programs most of which I have never used. When I attempted to restart the computer, all I got was a "no operating system found" error. I have lots more info, but no time right now to go into detail. If anyone has had a similar problem or has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks!!!! Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85970

    - Permissions I need help here. I have a SBS2003 network with a member server running Windows 2003 Server. I have setup volumes on the machine, i.e. H, T, V drive etc... Now, what I have done is I have shared out these volumes, e.g. T drive with the Share to have Everyone=Read. The Security tab also has the same, Everyone=Read. Now, a user has setup a folder in T drive (called EEE) and shared this as well. This time, the share permissions are for that user only=Full Control, and in the security tab that user is set to=Full Control. Via Network Neighbourhood>Windows Network>etc... the user can paste into the subfolder in T drive (shared as EEE) with no problem, but when he goes through machinename\T\EEE he is unable to. He does not understand the fact that right-clicking the EEE folder has the same permissions (i.e. Full Control is greyed out) but going in via the correct share he will have different rights. He believes that no matter what, that user has the same permissions via any share he goes through on T drive - i.e. T or EEE. Furthermore, I need to understand the logic myself before I speak to him, so please can someone make me understand this. Thanks, S Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85962

    - looking for a suitable proxy Hi. I've posted about proxy's before, but now I know better what and how I want to protect myself. Using security services that have a very high security, such as those that send heavily encrypted data, can be counterproductive and attract attention, because someone who would use one of those would probably have something to hide. Wouldn't the NSA or the Israelities/israelies (?) be interested ? I'm just looking for a secure proxy, without taking extreme measures with regard to security. A proxy service through which a lot of traffic would go would be good, I'm less likely to be noticed that way. In the first place I want to protect myself against criminals, hackers, nosy people, organizations and yes, I don't want Big Brother (the state) looking over my shoulder. A proxy in control by a non-profit organization or some other organization that would fight for my privacy, even if pressed by law or security officials or advanced social engineering, would probably be good. Is more anonymity better ? I wonder in which Homeland Security would be interested ... Also important is speed. Often, proxies slow down speed, and I'm using a broadband connection. Essentially my computer name AND IP are static, would proxies hide them ? I know you can't get 100% anonymity, but that's ok. What about www.the-cloak.com ? I live in Western Europe. Any recommendations ? Thank you. Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85950

    - SSL/TLS & renegotiation and Internet Explorer Dear All, I am working on my own server that supports SSL, both with and without client authentication. I am in the process of implementing a feature which allows the server to prompt the user to provide his digital certificate whenever he tries to access a resource that requires client authentication. So whenever i get a request for such a Page then my server sends a SSL HelloRequest to the Client thus initiating a SSL renegotiation. The server caches the HTTP request in its Session buffer before it initiates the renegotiation. So, the client re-initiates the handshake by sending the 'client-hello' packet (encrypted with the session key negotiated in the previous session) and the server reciprocates with the serverhello, server cert, client cert request and server hello done packets, all encrypted with the older session key. At this stage, IE closes the connection with the server and prompts the client to choose his digital certificate. When the client chooses the certificate it re-initiates the handshake, establishes a new connection and then starts the handshake process again with the 'client-hello' packet. Now, at this stage I am not sure how to link up the old SSL session and the new SSL session on the server side. Actually I have to forward the HTTP request to another backend server, get the response and forward it to the IE client. My question is how do i link the old and new sessions that i have established with the Internet Explorer. Is there anything that will be common between the two sessions Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Regards Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85946

    - Partial profiles appearing on W2K GC A handful of partial profiles have appeared on a client's W2K GC in the "documents and settings" directory. The profiles belong to user accounts that are NOT administrator accounts. The profiles only have three subdirectories instead of the customary twelve subdirectories. The three directories are "Application Data", "Cookies" and "Local Settings". NTUSER.DAT, ntuser.dat.log, and ntuser.ini are also created. It is my understanding that user profiles should only appear on a W2K GC in the "Documents and Settings" directory as a result of a user logging on from the server keyboard, or by an administrator logging in via Terminal Services (which is in admin mode). Windows Update and the client's third party patch management software both report the server as fully patched. 1) Is there any legitimate way that a non-admin user could create a profile on the server? 2) If the profiles were created by a user using an exploit to elevate their privileges via Terminal Services, how would you manually check to see that the appropriate TS patches were actually fully installed?

This was useful for running with lowest privilidge, but using "Run As" to run utilities, etc. with alternate credentials. Any ideas what I saw or where? Thanks, d. Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85899

    - deactivate IE intranet security warning In need of assistance. Just initiated a IE Group Policy to establish the proper security zones for all our XP SP2 clients. Have placed our intranet webservers in the trusted zone and set the security level to LOW. User logs into a web app on these servers and an IE warning appears: When you send information to the local intranet, it might be possible for others to see that information. Do you want to continue? [check box] In the future, do not show this message. User checks the box clicks Yes on the "do not show this message again" and the app opens. User closes the app and then reopens User receives the same warning. Is there any way to disable this warning message? Have tried several changes to the policy with no success. Any help would be appreciated. Jay Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85889

    - how to restrict limited user only visiting several websites I've been reading here alot and decided to post. Windows XP SP2, the administrator account want to restrict limited account only visiting several dedicated websites, and forbidden the limited account visit all the rest websites! My ideal is that disable quering DNC server, and mapping the IP addresses to host names only which I allow the limited account to visit...... But the drawback is that the limited account user can input the IP address directly in browser! Maybe there have other methods to accomplish the hard work! __ Ash Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85867

He still needs to be able to open and read the files, once they are in the folder on the server, just not be able to make changes to them. Can anyone tell me what combination of file permissions in Windows 2003 Server would produce this result. Thanks in advance! Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85865

    - Mulitple Antispyware Beta Questions The address http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?ICP=spyware link in the software doesn't work. Is there and active newsgroup to post questions? When my system is left idle and offline for periods of time, the antispyware just isn't active when I open my desktop and use the computer again. Is there an explanation or known issue where the antispyware would dissapear from my toolbar or why it would become inactive and unloaded from the system applications with user input or while the system is idle? Have run other programs and found no spyware on my system just to be sure. Am I the only one annoyed that you can't minimize the window while antispyware updates? Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85859

    - Be careful using AIM & all Instant Messengers Worm appears as Microsoft antipiracy program http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/06/30/HNwormmsantipiracy_1.html <QP> Security analysts have detected a new piece of malware that appears to run as a Microsoft program used to detect unlicensed versions of its operating system. The malware has been classified as a worm and spreads through AOL's Instant Messenger program, said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos, a security vendor. Sophos is calling it W32.Cuebot-K, a new variation in the Cuebot family of malware. The worm has a range of malicious functions. After it's installed, the worm immediately tries to connect to two Web sites, a sign it may try to download other bad programs on the machine. Cuebot-K can disable other software, shut off the Windows firewall, download new malicious programs, perform basic DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks, scan local files and spawn a command prompt, Sophos said. Worms that spread through instant messaging programs often appear as messages or links sent from friends, which trick a user into executing the program. Cuebot-K propagates by sending itself as a file named "wgavn.exe" to more people in the user's "Buddy List" but without a message, Cluley said. </QP> -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), Aumha.org VSOP, DTS-L.org Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85836

    - help please I am a layman. Somehow after recently installing microsoft 2000 pro edition on my computer I constantly get pop up windows warning me of damage to my registry and directing me to sites like rclean.com, fixreg.com and numerous others. In fact IT JUST HAPPENED! it said go to regfixit.com (or regfixes.com)! Like an idiot I initially bought in, figuratively and literally and paid 29.95 for a registry cleaner product. Guess what? I still get these messages up to 40 times a day. I e-mailed the company and asked for a refund but am not holding my breath. any advise would be greatly appreciated. I re-installed my OS three times and it doesn't help. Thanks, Larry Tag: BLOCK SKYPE Tag: 85832

    - Bug in 802.1x stack (Windows XP) Hi, I am testing 802.1x authentication in our network. The client I use for testing is one Windows XP SP1 and one with SP2. Both have problems to authenticate the user. When I sniff the packets send by the XP Client I can see that Windows is using a wrong domain name. The switch sends the wrong login credentials to the IAS Radius server which denies the access request because the domain controller for this, wrong, domain can not be found. Our domain is 3SOFT, normal login works, but when I enable 802.1x the domain name used by Windows in the EAPoL packets is "MDOFT". So does anybody if there a fix for this problem?

Skype can be blocked in ISA 2004 if you allow only AUTHENTICATED USERS
instead of ALL USERS, this will allow authentications methods which
Skype is unable to overpass.....

I have tried and Works!!!!!!

You can even block Skype using any firewall. It's not a news.
