    - How secure is "Password Safe Application" ? Do you think it is an acceptable security practice use an application such as "Password Safe Application" from SourceForget.net to store server passwords in my organization ? Some admins want to store such Password Safe Application on a network share, protected by NTFS folder permissions to the admin group. Please advise.

    - How does runas with /netonly option work? Hi, How does runas with a /netonly option create a login session? As per my understanding, a logon session is not created on the local machine when a /netonly option is used. Hence, I understand that whenever the process launched with /netonly option touches any network resource, a session is made upon that resource with the credentials specified in the runas command. What API/mechanism is used to create such a remote session? I know CreateProcessAsLogonW with LOGON_NETCREDENTIALS_ONLY option manages this, but my requirement is to do the similar thing without lauching another process. I need this so that untrusted domain accounts can be used to run tasks without requiring a logon and impersonation on my local machine. Thanks in advance, Madhu Tag: Sun Java - Security Release for critical vulnerabilities (07 Feb-06) Tag: 81209

    - Internet and laptop users If I have a bunch of laptop users that I want to get internet access outside the office while on the road I need to secure there laptops. I can do this by way of hardware profiles and locking down various other things, but I also only want them to be able to view certain websites outside the office. I can lock down which websites they can view with content advisor built into IE. But from what I can see when they come into the occice and use there in office hardware profile the content advisor will also block them then. Is there away I can make this work, when they are out of the office using mobile intrernet link I can lock down which websites they view, when they are internal they have the ability to surf what I have set in the ISA proxy. Does anyone have any documents on best practises for locking these types of users down? Any help is appreciated.

    - registering an application or otherwise notifying antivirus s/w ? Hello, I am working on a program in which the front end and back end talk to each other through a socket, so that triggers Norton AV on a lot of people's systems. Sure, the user can click through the warning but some people make the wrong choice and then they have trouble undoing it. It would be better overall if we can avoid notifying users in the first place. Is there any way to register the application with Norton and/or any other popular antivirus s/w makers? I'm hoping it can be arranged so that the application is recognized as OK (thus obviating the need to ask the user). It seems like antivirus s/w must come with some sort of built-in list, otherwise you would get warnings popping up all over the place ... Maybe this registry business is just wishful thinking on my part. If so, please feel free to tell me. Thanks for any information on this topic.

    - Internet Explorer is trying to change your network settings by mod I routinely execute several different scans in an effort to catch variations of spyware and, otherwise, malware that may have infected my systems. On at least a couple of occassions, while executing Symantec's on line scan, I have encountered a Zone Alarm Suspicious Behavior Alert stating "Internet Explorer is trying to change your network settings by modifying the file: WINDRVDIR\etc\hosts". Does anyone have a clue what's going on with this? Why would IE have any business trying to change the hosts file?

    - "Unknown Publisher" sometimes and sometimes not Hello, I have a signed executable, that seems to behaving erratically. On certain XP/Server 2003 servers, I am able to get the "Digital Signature" tab when viewing the properties of the file. On some machines I don't get it. In the latter case, it behaves as though it is not signed. The cerfiticates used are from Verisign and I use the MS tools to sign the kits. Using chktrust.exe gives me the expected results after signing. I can provide more information if necessary.

    - Win2003 SERVER file security BUG! Hi, I have win2003 server installed and i am sharing some folders. let me explain my problem with an example. i have a toplevel map named data, under data i have a map company and this is on a server named server-test. my toplevel map data is shared and my subfolder company is also shared so i can see them both when i am searching the directory structure of that server. both maps are shared for everyone with full control, change and read (shared, not the security settings!) so that everyone can see the maps. now, for the folder company, i have inheritable permissions ON. so, this means that if i set security permissions on DATA, the security permissions for COMPANY are also changed and yes, they are! When i look to the security settings of data and company, i see in company my username with the security settings grayed-out, so this means that the thing did it's job and inheritable permissions were passed trough to the underlying map. The security permissions is DENY on EVERYTHING, applied to this folders, underlying folders and files. now, when i go to server-test, i see 2 folders named data and company. when i click on data, i don't come in but when i click on company, i get in and i can see all files! The only workaround seems that i FIRST deny everything on the underlying map and then deny again on the top level map. The only problem then is that in the underlying map that is using the inheritable permissions i have both security settings in it. both on 1 name but if you check another box, you can see that the denied box is turning grayed-out. This seems very unlogical and unsafe! does anyone has a solution or am i doing somethig wrong ? regards, Verus Tag: Sun Java - Security Release for critical vulnerabilities (07 Feb-06) Tag: 81153

    - spyware tcp connections from spoolsv.exe to internet!!! The past few days all running programs are trying to connect to the internet at random addreses. (mainly a1981.g.akamai.com and ports 80:http and 53:dns) (even spoolsv.exe) I have tried to search (advanced search) for spywares-rootkits-etc but i did not found any. Was running norton corporate client and had zonealarm freeware at the time it started. (captured it by seeing that spoolsv.exe tried to connect to the internet) replaced norton with avast free antivirus and zonealarm with kerio. the strange behaviour seemed to be more rare but did not got way yet. the behaviour is changing from time to time! Currently my work partner also has the same problem, but the spyware running on his machine mostly tries to connect to the sites listed on HOSTS file (we have putted a dummy site there and it tries to connect to that dummy) Like i had with spoolsv.exe he had also with userinit and lsass trying to connect to an akamai address lets say i connect to a site then close the internet explorer and then i try to go to a dif site the spyware through internet explorer tries to connect to the previous site (noone asked him too!!!) the firewall sees the connections are made from a legit program so they can not be blocked! I have looked at the list loaded by the legit apps and no new dlls are loaded. 1)Is there a good reason for this to be happening???? (i mean spoolsv.exe should not connect to the internet!) 2)Can you recomment a way to find - clean this spyware-or what ever it is?

    - Getting XML to display properly My office is having to produce XML files (presidential directive to share data). We are using Apache 2 to serve up the raw XML pages (on a classified network), the client browser is having to compile the XSL files. We have various mandated XSL stylesheets making numerous modifications. We didnâ??t see any problem and have has several customers around the world able to see the pages without a problem. We canâ??t get some important data to a customer (we wrote several reports in XML, posted them and nothing but the combined, raw XSL data). The rest of our community can see the exact same pages without a problem (tested various XML files at various locations with various network configurations). This group has a Windows 2003 domain, security is normally VERY tight in their area so I expect their domain, security rules are very tight as well. This customer is using Windows XP Pro on client systems and Windows 2003 for domain controllers. Other WinXP systems on Windows 2003 domains have no problem. Our Win2K systems running on Server 2003 are not having any problem. I really need to help get these folks to view our reports properly. Do you know of a domain security issue that might be impacting this? -- TIA RoyB Please reply to email roy.mcse at bigfoot.com Thanks!

    - Tracking unauthorized access to my computer I am a Systems Analyst with full Admin privileges. I'm having a serious problem, someone has been connecting to my computer and controlling my email, accessing files/folder, etc. I'm certain that it is someone who also has Admin privileges but there are six people with these rights and I don't know who it is. I've spoken to my Boss about the situation but without specific proof talking about it has done nothing. I'm just wondering if there is a way to trace and log who is actually logging onto my computer remotely or if there is any software that I can install or scripts that I can run in the background that would identify the individual/individuals that are doing this? Even if there is something that I could use that would record the actions as they are happening would be helpful. I desparately need some kind of concrete evidence. It's gotten to the point where the amount of times someone is connecting to my machine is unbearable and very harassing. If anyone can help me with this please respond ASAP. Thanks.

    - Internal Server Security Hi all hope I'm in the right group. Our company is working with an outside firm to provide web hosting for us that requires real time data from an internal server. Their software sits on any machine and listens to to a predetermined port that we have forwarded [from the firewall]. We have conteplated setting this port forwarding directly to our internal server. We have also contemplated setting up another machine with their software and then mapping a drive to our internal server for the data their software needs. Given the fact that the secondary machine would have a drive mapped to our internal server is it any more secure than just forwarding the traffice to the server.

    - Help please - Can not use/export private key after domain change I have a self signed certificate in Windows XP (private/pulic key pair). Recently my company changed my login domain (keeping the same password and Profile directory). But after that I can not use my certificate (private key). Looking at the password manager, it shows the certificate, also when I view it, it says that I have private key corresponding to the certificate. But when I try to export it greys out the option for private key export saying "The associated provate key can not be found. Only the certificate can be exported." I guess the reason might be that the key was encrypted based on password + domain name. Just my guess, based on my limited understanding from what I found on the net: "Windows XP protects you against such attacks. Windows XP encrypts the private key with a derivative of your password. If the password is changed and you don't provide the old password, access to the public key will be permanently blocked, and you or a thief can no longer decrypt files with this key." Is the only way to recover the key to ask for switching back to the old domain ? Please advise, I would really be very greatful for any help to recover my key.

    - Excluding archive files from virus scan I have around 5GB of disk space on my Windows 2000 laptop occupied by archives bundled up using the "tar" facility, and compressed with gzip. This is really slowing down a complete system scan. McAfee's antivirus lets the user specify what files to exclude from scanning. Is there much risk associated with doing this? What is the likelihood of some malware adding itself to a file within one of the archive files (each archive file is several hundred megabytes)? Most of the archive is data, though there are some unix shell scripts and possibly some binary executables. I unpack items from those archive files as needed (about once every 2-3 days).

Exported the issued certificate as a DER 509 type with file ext .cer 4. Ran IIS 6 manager and imported the certificate into my web page.

I now want to create an offline root CA in the forest root (abc-company.com) and be able not to affect the certificates that I have already issued. 1) Is is possible to change the role of a CA from enterprise ca to subordinate?

    - How to check for computer abuse? I have a situation where I need to know if a user is copying information from the server or/and their local drive to some sort of removable storage device. Is there any log files or event log I can look at that would show this? Or Is there a utility of app that I can run in the back ground of this p.c. that would record such info? I also need to know if a device such as a USB flash drive is being used on this specific p.c. Any ideas?
