    - Bank Frauds There is a new scam out there now. Be very careful when your bank emails you purporting to be you bank's security office and asking you to verify information regarding your account. They look very real but you are playing into their hands by responding in any way. No bank will ask you for your private information in response to their request. You can call your bank at the number shown on your statement if you want to check. Don't do anything on line in response to their request. -- Regards, Werner quincey.nyc@nospam.verizon.net Remove "Nospam" when e-mailing --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Updates under different users? Hi. Please forgive my ignorance in asking this question! I logged in as Administrator and applied all critical updates at windowsupdate.com but then I logged out and logged back in under another user name (who doesn't have Administrator rights/not in Administrator group). Stupid question: do these updates apply to Windows 2000/IE/Outlook/etc. as a whole? In other words, it doesn't matter under what user name I log into, my whole operating system should be okay and I don't have to go to windowsupdate.com again as another user, right?

    - Host-based security Hello, at present I write my diploma thesis with the topic "host- based security". The emphasis is situated however not on the clientprotection but the protection of the servers in a network environment. Can you recommend some sources to me, where I can find material? For example Microsoft-Security-Guru Steve Riley held a lecture on "Death OF the DMZ", that deals with this topic. The slides I have about this presentation are not informative because Steve just says, that he does not use any slides during his lecture... Unfortunately I did not hear the lecture. If you have any usable information I would be very grateful!! Tag: Lost URL line Tag: 57131

    - Punk Buster Anti-Cheat Software for online gaming Hello, I do not want to go into to much detail about what Punk Buster is but it is something that a few very popular games are starting to use. It is supposed to prevent people from cheating in online games. A lot of online game servers require Punk Buster in order to play the game. My problem: In order for Punk Buster to work you must be logged in as an administrator or grant some extra privileges to the user account. I really do not want to log in as an administrator so I am left with the second option of modifying privileges. Punk Buster has provided a solution to the problem and I have listed it below. My concern is that the solution might compromise the security of my machine. My Question: In there anyone out there who understands what Punk Buster is suggesting below and can you tell me if it is alright to change the privileges suggested? Best Regards and Thanks, Shawn Punk Buster Solution from FAQ: Is there some way to modify my system configuration to be an administrator equivalent from Punk Buster's perspective in Win2k/XP Pro? Yes (under Win XP Pro or Win 2K). This can be accomplished by setting certain privileges for the user that will run the game. To do this, first temporarily log in as an Administrator. Then go to Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Local Security Policy. This will open up the Local Security setting window. Expand the Local Policies folder and select User Rights Assignment. This will bring up a list of security settings for the computer. You will need to add the user that will be launching the game to have the following privileges. If the user is logged in while making changes, the user must be logged out and back in for the changes to take effect. Debug Programs Load and unload device drivers Manage auditing and security log Modify Firmware environment values Profile Single Process This is done by double clicking on the setting and then the "Add User or Group" button. You can either type the user or group name into the field or click on advanced to select from a list. If you select advanced, you may need to click on the "Object Types" button and make sure all 3 boxes are checked. Then click "OK". Click on the "Find Now" button to generate a full list of all users and groups on the system. Highlight the user you want to add the rights to and click "OK". Keep clicking "OK" until you are back at the Local Security Settings window. Repeat this process for the rest of the list. That user will now be able to play on PB servers without getting kicked for "Inadequate O/S Privileges". Tag: Lost URL line Tag: 57112

    - Reformat or wipe? Thanks for the advice and info below - rather than stretch the thread, I would be even more grateful for some answers to these questions: 1 Is it PREFERABLE to wipe the HDD or go through malware removal proceses? I don't care about losing data, I just want to know whether reformating is relatively quick and easy and not likely to have any adverse effects on my system (assuming it's a fairly standard system to save time). Malware removal appears to be laborious and often not 100% effective. A reformat would be "the ultimate weapon", right? 2 What's the best malware protetion for broadband users (pipex is my isp)? I used Zonealarm before, and liked it. Is this sufficient to keep spyware, tojans, etc at bay? Opinions appreciated. Thanks again. Tag: Lost URL line Tag: 57087

    - Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Application.Shell Exploit http://www.k-otik.com/exploits/07072004.IEApplicationShell.php So what's the official Microsoft status and/or comment on this one? I can't find any info on their site. This is different than the ADODB.Stream update that was released recently (that just freezes the computer from what I understand, this one is easy code execution). For an easy demonstration without reading through all the demo code on that page type: shell:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe into the address bar of IE. That site provides a regfile fix for which is effectively: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{13709620-C279-11CE-A49E-444553540000}] "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400 But I don't really know what all that does so I'm reluctant to deploy that to all my machines. -Mike Tag: Lost URL line Tag: 57086

    - Norton Internet Security Hello can any one help me Ive got s few security issues i need sorting out. Right these are the issues 1)SSH. TCP connections to this port might indicate a search for SSH, which has a few exploitable features. SSH is a secure replacement for Telnet. The most common uses of SSH are to securely login and copy files from a server. 2)Ping. Ping is a network troubleshooting utility. It asks your computer to acknowledge its existence. If your computer responds positively to a ping, hackers are more likely to target your computer. 2)HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). HTTP is used to transfer Web pages over the Internet. Port 80 should be open only if you're running a Web server 4)Unused Windows Services Block Can anyone help me to sort these issues out.
