    - [Fwd: Disable Explorer-like FTP on Windows 2000 PRO] sorry. I forgot to post to this ng... microsoft.public.security -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Disable Explorer-like FTP on Windows 2000 PRO Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2005 21:48:03 +0100 From: Javier Jarava <jjarava@secuware.com> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.server.security,microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy,microsoft.public.win2000.security Hi !! As part of a broader project, I need to research how to disable the explorer-like ftp integration on Windows 2000 PRO. What I want to do is that when a users "saves to" an FTP// URI.. nothing happens (either from Windows Explorer, or from Office 2000). Nor do I want the user to be able to "browse" FTP folders... I have looked into Group Policy settings, but I haven't seen anything that looks like what I'm looking for. Of course, it's not the first time I overlook the obvious!!... I hope that somebody out there has the answer :) Any and all help/tips would be more than appreciated Javier J Tag: CWShredder [v2.13] Tag: 67411

    - I did a dumb thing Dear NG, I have been involved with computers for far too long (can anyone remember the IBM 7094?) to have done something as stupid as this, but I did. I put a computer in the trash without removing the hard drive or even erasing its files. A few hours later I noticed that the trash had not been picked up, but the computer was gone! OK, someone has an old Windows/98 system with my stuff on it. I took a look at my most recent backup of that machine and it did not appear to have anything critical on it, but... I have had a strange incident today and I wonder if I have a real problem on my hands. I got a message from MSN Messenger 6.2 that I signed on another machine. I immediately call my daughter who I just gave an old laptop to and she confirmed that she had signed in and she had Messenger running with my PassPort. I told her to remove my PassPort and get one of her own. She said she would, but just now I returned to my machine after being away from it for about two hours and I saw the message again. It could be her, or it could be the "new owner." Now I don't even remember if MSN Messenger even was on the W/98 machine so here are my questions: 1/ Was MSN Messenger available for W/98? 2/ Assume that it was, how do I go about getting Microsoft to "kill" my old PassPort and issue another one? 3/ What "normal" pieces of Microsoft software will be effected? 4/ I have an MSDN subscription, and I am sure that it will be effected. How do I prove to MS that I am me? 5/ What are the ramifications that have not crossed my mind? Hopefully, there are mind-readers in this newsgroup. With a lot of egg on my face, I thank you all in advance. Cheers, Bob -- Robert Schuldenfrei S. I. Inc. 32 Ridley Road Dedham, MA 02026 bob@s-i-inc.com 781/329-4828 Tag: CWShredder [v2.13] Tag: 67371

After entering my password, I am then redirected to another URL which prompts me to "Match a picutre" to enter. Is this new to hotmail or a spoof?

    - Hotmail and MSN major difficulties I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the following: we recently moved and purchased a new PC and new internet service. Neither my husband nor I can hardly access MSN or Hotmail (two different accounts). We both receive a message that we have been blocked for trying to log on too may times with an incorrect password, which is not the case. We've had our accounts for so long that we can't remember the answers to our secret questions, etc. so we cannot change our passwords. Any ideas why this may be happening?

    - Ext Drive Encrypted Files Deny Access Posted to: microsoft.public.security; microsoft.public.security.homeusers; microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin; microsoft.public.security.crypto: Is there a better group? HI, If this looks familiar, that's because it is. Originally I posted this to two ng's, neither of which I can find now. You'll understand why shortly, if you consider my short-term memory problems <g>. I think I can restate it a lot better now, too. Any and all assistance/advice much appreciated. XP Pro, completely updated SP2/hotfix, two 80Gig internal, not RAID et al, one ext 160Gig external, no SCSI. Short Story: 1. Accidentally encrypted data on external ACOM USB 160 Gig drive. Included my Full/Incremental backup done recently. It was a mis-click and I stopped it, but it had already finished. Folders also were encrypted. Then of course, I "forgot" it happened: until I needed the files, of course. They are WINZIP files, encrypted, I'm fairly sure, by XP EFS, but could not swear that winzip didn't do it. It -looks- like EFS did the encryption. 2. Later, trying to track down files disappearing for no reason, eventually C became trashed. 3. OK, got our my ASR floppy, booted on it, all went fine until it wouldn't accept my backup CDs as valid files. They were created with the system Backup function. I don't remember doing a Verify operation. 4. Upon boot, got an error message; bad hardware. Didn't believe it. 5. Reformat/reinstall XP. 5a XP CD would NOT let me delete the partition on C, nor would it let me install to C. It was so adamant, and yes, I've used it before and think all I had to do was delete the partition first, to put XP on C., that I finally acquesced and said OK, put it on D. No problems, boots fine from D for the boot disk. I'll worry about drive letter assignments later; right now I've only got a minimal install anyway - nothing but XP, Norton, Firewall; no antispy stuff yet. SYNOPSIS: -- I ass-u-me when I formatted, I got new keys and certificates, right? And that's why I can't access the files on my external USB drive? -- I DID manage to decrypt the Folders, so future files won't be encrypted; that's why I think it's EFS produced encryption and not Winzip's. But, I can't find a way to get at any of the Files that are encrypted. -- OK, I"ve managed to recover from lost passowords, all kinds of things, so there must be a way to decrypt those Files, either to the same drive or to another drive. Folders are UNencrpted now, but I can only copy them around their own drive, not to another drive where they might expand. None are R, H, or S. But danged if I can find it! I"ve seen a couple of similarities on these groups, but none with a solution that worked for me; either they weren't applicable or the thread ended with a terse microsoft reference, most of which I'd already looked at and tried. I've been thru many MSKB articles with no joy. I've tried Cipher also, to no avail. My resources are about exhausted, so I'm looking for help here. So the ultimate question is, in view of the above information: HOW can I load, decrypt or otherwise manipulate those encrypted files in order to recover them? Although it doesn't appear an advantage, I'd easily consider another format if it would open up any avenues. I'm no guru, but you can talk about how to get to and use most of the Admin Tools, etc., so you don't have to completely hold my hand, but ... this is new territory for me, so please keep that in mind. I also have Partition Magic 8, though not loaded yet, if that means anything to anyone. Pop --- Microsoft's Security might not be all that good, but, so far, it's PERFECT with those files!

    - Child Domain Security Mark Minasi's Windows 2003 book states that one of the reason to create seperate Domain instead of OU is security. DC at an unsecure branch office for example. According to Mark's book if the DC at an unsecure branch get's compromised, since it's a seperate domain, only that domain will be compromised. I'm planning on doing the same thing with my network. We have a Company.dom domain and I'm planning on creating child domain for each branches ex) west.company.dom, east.company.dom etc. Is creating seperate domain for security reason that I stated above a good practice? Does parent AD really gets protected when child domain gets compromised? Does child domain DC contains a copy of parent domains AD? Does what kind of trust relationship that child domain have with parent domain matters in the case? Tag: CWShredder [v2.13] Tag: 67299

    - Windows XP SP2 and IE 6.0 security settings -- web pages on local drive I have a Windows XP Home SP1 system to which I have applied SP2. The system is completely up-to-date according to Windows Update. I am using Internet Explorer 6.0 with the default browser security settings. This problem started after applying SP2. I have built several web sites on this machine. When these are uploaded to a server, I can view them with Internet Explorer 6.0 without any problem. (IE 6 show the security zone as "Internet".) If I try to view the SAME files on my local drive, the "Information Bar" pops up with the message "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options...". (IE 6 shows the security zone as "Local Intranet".) I have tried every Local Intranet security setting. There doesn't seem to be any way to display local web pages containing active content without a security alarm. I've even tried defining the local directory as a Trusted site. Other software that generate local HTML that is viewed via Internet Explorer, Belarc Advisor for example, have the same problem. It looks to me like it's an Internet Explorer problem. I'm baffled as to why content from the Internet would be allowed, but the SAME content from a local drive would be disallowed. (I guess it's because the pages are reading graphics and other content from the local drive.) If anyone knows of browser setting or some other work around that would eliminate this problem, I would be happy to try them. According to a friend, it doesn't happen with the Firefox browser. I would like to continue to use Internet Explorer to verify the sites. Tag: CWShredder [v2.13] Tag: 67277

    - W2K Server -- local settings versus effective settings Hello, I have a domain of W2K SP 4 member servers and domain controllers. The domain policy is set to allow only members of Domain Admins and Domain Users to logon locally. This is the effective setting, no local settings are configured. Today I was recovering a box from image (and at the time, the box wasn't plugged into the network). After the image loaded, I was unable to logon locally to the box (with the local administrator account); I received an error stating that I was not allow to log on locally. This is where I get confused. The effective settings come from the domain. But the box wasn't plugged into the domain when it rebooted. If there are no local policies set and the box didn't get the domain policies when it booted (because it wasn't talking to the domain), then how did I prevented from logging on locally with the local administrator?

    - Re-applying old patches Hello, It was recently discovered that the Windows Update website shows that security patch 835732 (4/04) is missing from the W2K machines in our company. This is strange, because this patch was originally applied to our W2K image using the Windows Update site. Also, if a recent patch is run wth the /L switch on the command line, it shows that 835732 *is* installed. In any case, if the patch is re-applied to the machine, Windows Update no longer sees it as missing. So, management has requested that it be re-applied to these machines. When we do this, will all subsequent patches need to be re-applied as well, or are the patches "smart" enough not to overwrite newer files? -- -Jstep Tag: CWShredder [v2.13] Tag: 67250

Any way the security question in the account has been changed to denie me from resetting. The bad part is that she is logging on to my msn and pretending to be me, I had a lot of contacts and cannot notify them all. She is also sending email pretending to be me. I have got the police involved (prank phone calls also) but they are currently unable to do anything. My question is, is there anything I can do to have this account closed? or get it back? - please help Tag: CWShredder [v2.13] Tag: 67215

    - Significant sub-authorities in determining duplicate machine SIDs We've been trying to troubleshoot some GPO problems lately and while doing so determined that some of our computer labs had duplicate machine SIDs for our XP clients. Some of the computers had exact duplicates of the SID. Others had duplicate RIDs in the SID sub-authority components. Does it matter if any portion of the SID is a duplicate of another? Or does the entire SID have to be a duplicate for it to matter? What should I be looking for?

    - Certificates - What am I missing? To secure communication between my citrix server and its secure gateway in the dmz it is recommend to use a server certificate. I have an internal enterprise CA set up on a Windows 2003 server. When I go t0 the the web page to request a certificate from the CA the options I have available are: User, Administrator, EFS Recovery Agent, Basic EFS, Web Server, Exchange User, and Exchage Signature Only. What am I missing? I'm confused about what type of certificate I should be requesting. Tag: CWShredder [v2.13] Tag: 67186

    - base line XP kernal protection and folder protection, any? Base line security: 100% new hardware. new xp+sp2 pro no Domain, two accounts: admin and nobody admin is normal install admin. nobody is group USERs only.( no other groups assigned) Is is possible to have a user defined ( using builtin groups or custom) that will be locked out of the windows folder. To my knowledge , the answer is no. ( whole or in part) I wish this feature to protect the windows folders from a virus , etc. I am aware XP has a builtin protector but it has been breached by some worms already. Is there any 3rd party programs that will protect windows.? " OS Code Protector, etc " Is there any hope that Long horn will improve this issue? Print and file sharing is off, fire wall Sp2 is fully active and default. Thanks for any help. My goal is to protect folders from other users and to protect the windows folders from all by admin. PS: I am already aware that I , as a user can set my folders to only accessable by me and admin. I am not asking for Anti Virus or Antispy where as I have this in spades now.
