    - Email from Microsoft (?) Hi all, I've recently signed up to receive the MS newsletters and alerts so that I can start to learn more about security issues in depth. Once I'm past my SBS exam I intend to take courses in the security side, but for now I'm no expert and relatively new to the "MS way" ... I received an email this morning claiming to be from Microsoft with the subject "Microsoft Security Bulletin Minor Revisions". It doesn't look professional, beginning with text ... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ******************************************************************** Title: Microsoft Security Bulletin Minor Revisions Issued: May 16, 2007 ******************************************************************** Summary ======= The following bulletins have undergone a minor revision increment. Please see the appropriate bulletin for more details. * MS07-027 * MS07-025 * MS07-023 Bulletin Information: ===================== * MS07-027 - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-027.mspx - Reason for Revision: Bulletin revised due to an incorrect file name in Arbitrary File Rewrite Vulnerability - CVE-2007-2221 killbit table; A new issue discovered with the security update: 937409 The "File Download - Security Warning" dialog box opens when you try to open Internet Explorer 7; Updated file names for Internet Explorer 7 - Originally posted: May 8, 2007 - Updated: May 16, 2007 - Bulletin Severity Rating: Critical - Version: 1.2 Anyway - I wondered 2 things ... 1. How do I check that it's actually from Microsoft and not a spoofed send address (I have SBS2003 R2 SP2 installed but I haven't yet configured the IMF to check the Sender ID - how do I check that manually ?) 2. How do I check that the links in the email actually point to where they say they point to (ok I have IE7 which SHOULD prevent phishing attacks right? but again I'm interested to know how to assure myself manually) Thanks all. Sorry if these are dumb questions or posted in the wrong place. Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93136

    - Infected w-svhost / worm_rbot.ffx I did an online scan using TrendMicro. It found "worm_rbot.ffx" in the system32 folder. I let it clean. I have not rebooted yet. I googled and most entries say svhost.exe is a bogus file with a worm in it. Some posts said it was a valid process that causes problems after an MS update. I'm confused. I found the file svhost.exe and checked properties -- no version or manufacturer. Its creation date was 2/15/2006 and modification date was 8/10/2004. My computer software was first loaded on 2/15/2006. I use MCE 2005 / XP SP2 with updates. Questions: 1. Is it a worm or a valid MS component? 2. Am I safe to reboot? 3. What other security measures should I take? Thank you for your assistance. -- *rain*drops* Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93130

    - AD 2003 Password Complexity and French Keyboard drivers Hello, figured I'd throw this around here before buying an answer. I've got an international client who are having trouble with password complexity, particularly in non-english countries (France, Italy) using their countries Windows kb drivers and keyboards. AD Default Domain Policy has the password complexity set to Disabled. The servers are using Microsoft's passflt.dll to enforce complexity. Passwords be 6 in length, 1 day in age. HD personnel sets a French user's password to "Monde7" with password change required. The user logs in and is prompted for a change, but won't accept any passwords that match the standard complexity rules (tried many things like Friends1, !Friends^, ILtheBA!!, but all to no avail). 1. Just what really are the hard, true password rules from Microsoft on complexity - their published information is incorrect. 2. Is anyone having problems with password complexity simply because of different national keyboard drivers and layouts? The two unusual things here are that I'm not experienced with using complexity, except for on my NT4 or older servers, being controlled by anything except AD policy, and I've not had any great depth supporting world wide users with Microsoft products. Thanks in advance for your input! Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93125

    - Stack smashing/buffer overflow research Hi, let me start by apologising if these are the wrong groups to post these kinds of messages to (I've cross-posted) but after searching the web and not finding any good material I thought there might be someone here who know. I'm a student and I'm currently working on a small project dealing with stack smashing/buffer overflows and protection mechanisms in modern OSes, the idea is to make a survey of the different techniques that can be used to protect an application against these kinds of attacks. On the Windows side I have identified three mechanisms that I'm focusing on, the /GS flag in Visual Studio 2005, ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) and DEP (Data Execution Prevention). Since I'm not a security expert I can't see any way that I might be able to circumvent any of those (even less so all of them together) but I know there are people working with these kinds of things (whatever their intentions are) so what I'm asking is, if there are any known and published stack smashing/buffer overflow attacks that can successfully circumvent the techniques mentioned above (either just one of them or a combination). Any information will be greatly appreciated. PS: Mind the cross-posting when replying -- Erik Wikstr=F6m Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93112

    - NTFS Encryption Hi, I am trying to store the certificates for NTFS Encryption on the smartcards of my user. It took me quite long to find a CSP which is capable of doing so. So far it is working now but now I have some questions regarding NTFS encryption. Im am still experimenting around. First I create an encrypted folder, then I export the encryption certificate and import it into the smartcard and delete the certificate from the windows store. If I now log off and on I can only access the encrypted folder if the smartcard is inserted into the reader. The problem here is that as soon I create a new encrypted folder windows does not use the existing encryption certificate but generates a new one. So I would require to have for every encrypted folder a seperate smart card. Any thoughts how I can optimize this? As I mentioned above I currently move the windows generated encryption certificate from the windows store to the card. It would be much more elegant if I could generate my own certificates and windows uses them for encryption. I know that the certificate requires the "File System Encryption" Attribute. In fact some of the certificates I generated do work fine and other are just ignored by windows. Is there somewhere a document about the requirements of an encryption certificate available? Kind Regards Your M&M Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93092

    - Ntbackup stopped working The whole back bone of security is your ability to back up important files, etc.. before you need to. But if the ntbackup utility does not work, then what is the point of using it... It should be an embarrassment to someone at MS. It worked flawlessly for the dozen or so times I have used it over the last year. Now, it suddenly stopped working. I tap on the shortcut icon and it just sits there...sputters and fizzles a bit...then goes silent. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it about 10 times, with a registry clean out between each install. I have loaded it fresh from the i386 folder on my hard drive and the install CD. I have done a sfc /scannow cmd a few times to see if that might be the problem. I have snooped around the Administrative tool services for some clue...to see if there was the "usual" box with or without a tick mark, where there wasn't or was one before...no clues. I have gone down the list of services to see which have been arbitrarily enabled or disabled... Nothing has worked...and now I have a pile of previously saved files, I can no longer use and must delete to save space... Why must we go begging on these fora when perfectly good, well paid, MS technicians should be able to solve the problem and post a solution in the usual place! We are constantly paying to clean up after someone else's issue... Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93085

Is it worth it they do keep logs for 5 days so they say. The best way is to use "Onion" peeling method Tor this is extremely slow then there is "Clouds" by Att& T research Not sure on this one seems extremely complicated.

    - Network Connection Constantly Sending and Recieving Hi, I have a client machine that is constantly transmitting and recieving bytes. In the past day and a half it has sent 32 billion bytes and recieved 23 billion bytes. I have run Symantec Antivirus full scan with no results. I have run the lates Microsoft Malicious Software removal tool with no results. I ran Windows Defender with no results. I did a netstat on the machine and it has an open port to all of our client machines on our LAN. For some of the machines 2 or 3 ports. I am going to run a couple of rootkit detectors as well. Can I close the ports on the one client machine manually? If so how? Thanks, Steve -- Steve Systems Administrator PSI Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93062

    - Migrating from single enterprise root CA to different root CA Hi all, due to extended cooperation with other companies we now have to set up a shared PKI with our business partners. Currently, we have got a single enterprise root CA for our Active Directory (single domain) in place. It has been running for about two years now and there is quite a number of certificates issued (>1000). The challenge we are facing now is migrating from our local root CA to the shared public root CA without the current certificates becoming invalid. Public root CA (offline) is already in place. The responsible administration team will provide an intermediate CA for our company, and we would like to keep that one offline, too, and set up an issuing enterprise CA for our AD. I thougt about that some time and determined that there is no need to keep the current enterprise root CA running once all certificates have been replaced by new ones. Because of that I would like to avoid cross-certification and migrate in the following way: - Publish new public root CA and intermediate CA to AD - Set up issuing CA as enterprise subordinate - re-issue certificates when suitable I have now encountered some points which are not clear to me: - Is this a valid migration path from a technical perspective? - Is it possible to publish multiple root CAs to AD? - Will the issued certificates stay valid with the new PKI in place until they are replaced? - How can I achieve that new certificates from our customized V2 templates are issued by the new issuing CA instead of our old enterprise root CA? Thanks in advance for your help! Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93059

    - DoS? First post here. I've attached a snippet from my Kiwi Syslog from a customer's server. Take a look at the times any you'll see I'm getting bombarded with SMTP -- over 40 in half a minute, but sometimes as many as fifteen a second -- from IP addresses in the 72.34.1xx.xxx range. I've Googled some of them at random and the only connection is that they are all from the same ISP in Texas. I first noticed the problem when the Exchange server crashed. I blocked the ISP entire block at the router, but obviously this volume of traffic is still affecting things. Does anyone have an idea where to start with this? Any help will be much appreciated.

    - MSSecure.XML file will EXPIRE after October 9, 2007 On October 9, 2007, the MSSecure.XML file used by MBSA 1.2.1 will no longer be updated. After this date, no new security updates will be added to the MSSecure.XML file used by MBSA 1.2.1 and no new versions of the Enterprise Scan Tool will be released for standalone use. Customers who require a free standalone security update and VA assessment tool are strongly encouraged to upgrade to MBSA 2.0.1 or the MBSA 2.1 beta. Based on Microsoft Update technologies, MBSA 2.0.1 and MBSA 2.1 beta provide consistent results across all Microsoft update technologies (SMS, WSUS Server and Microsoft Update) and provide the most comprehensive security update detection available from Microsoft. Aside from Microsoft SMS 2.0 / 2003 and MBSA 1.2.1, non-Microsoft products, scripts or tools based on the Microsoft MSSecure.XML file are not supported and should have already moved to updated or newer technologies that do not rely on the MSSecure.XML file.

    - Restricting interactive login only to terminal services Hello, I want to set up my win 2003 server (with Terminal Server (TS) role) so that all users (non-admin, or speciafied exceptions) have the right to log in interactively only via TS, but not via console login. This restriction should not be domain-wide, but only on the TS/DC itself. Knowing the flexibility of Windows I am sure this can be done. I am totally comfortable with messing with something like scripting or wmi filtering if there's no "user-friendly" way of achieving this. Thank you. Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93042

    - Running .exe Hello all, I am having an issue running .exe on my 2003 server. They will run under the administrator all the time and one other profile but no more. It gives me : Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I 'm logging on with domain administrator accounts and they all have full control of the folder and everything in them. I have three servers that will let one admin run it and not the other and vice-versa on the others. Has anyone seen this. I thought it was sp.2 issue, then a sp.1, but it does not seem to be. If anyone has any clue I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, David Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93028

    - Is complete access in a win 2003 domain a possibility? I am an IT administrator of a very small company and was wondering if it was possible to create a security group to add my username to that has access to anything and everything. Just being a member of the administrators group still seems to have denies for certain permissions. And if I create a security group and set grants for everything in adsiedit it then allows for some permissions that the administrators group is denied but then denies other permissions. Being 1 of the 2 people that administrate this company I figured it would be easier for us to have access to everything rather than delegating specific permissions to each person.

    - How encryption keys should be distributed? Several software applications needs to encrypt and decrypt data, requiring either a single key in symmetrical encryption algorithms or public/private keys in asymmetrical algorithms, but how these keys should be distributed? Embed the key(s) within the application executable is a very vulnerable approach, since an attacker may trace API calls, or run the application under a debugger and simply halt the program when the keys has been reconstructed. And what about the risk to distribute the key in every exeucutable copy embedded within, if some attacker gets this key it can make it public, and every user of this application may use it to break its own installation. Can anyone give me any suggestion? Or point me in the correct direction to avoid these problems? Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93025

    - What SIDS need permisions to start my service? Here is the short version. I have an application which has a service component. It is a requirement that the service component be running only when the application is running, so AutoStart is not an option. I want to grant the following permissions on my service READ_CONTROL | SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG | SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS | SERVICE_ENUMERATE_DEPENDENTS | SERVICE_START | SERVICE_STOP | SERVICE_PAUSE_CONTINUE | SERVICE_INTERROGATE to all users on the local machine. Currently I am granting this access to Everyone, Users, and Guest. This approach definitely gives permisions to the accounts i need.. but is this a securty risk (I am only concerned about security risks involving remote attacks, not ones that originate from the local machine). Should i be granting access to just "Guest and Users" or maybe "Guests and Authenticated Users"? Also note, the machines may or may not be on a domain.. the target os is 2k,xp,vista(32/64). This may be deployed on a large number of laptops (and i mean laaarrrggge). Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 93020

    - Service and profile settings Hi to all! We have a service at our company which our developers had developed. As part of the work of the service, it connects to mapped folder at another computer to read some files from there. We need to configure the service to run as custom application user, which is a user from our domain with sufficient permissions. We can't set in code of the service to connect to UNC address, instead we have to map the UNC address to network drive and afterwards to connect. Now the problem is that I don't know how to "say" to the service to load user's profile when the service starts. For instance, when I run something with "run as" utility, I can specify /profile option, and I just don't know what to do in order to specify something similar to the service. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Simon Zeltser. Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 92991

    - Logon Message Error When I turn on my computer I get an error with a yellor triange that says "The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case." I have been able to continue by hitting "enter" but this has prevented me from doing many things administratively. I tried to fix this with a CompRule back in April of 2006 (I could give you a case # if it would help)but it lasted a month until I turned my computer off and rebooted and it started all over again. I don't know what I did, I am virtually afraid to do anything to my computer and it seems when I do I seem to mess it up pretty well. I have Widows XPSP2, NortonSecurity&AntiVirus. One husband and one 14 year old and they think I'm the one who is the best to fix the problems when something goes wrong - I'm the mom-this is way over what I want to do or understand and I am way over frustrated with it always giving me error messages and not letting me logon and telling me this isn't my computer, it has been in this same spot for five years This problem has been the same for over a year but a friend said that maybe it is why I can't do things like download the Adobe Flash Player and some other files that my son sends me that I can't see on my email. I don't know but I would really like some help with this so that I can use my computer properly. If anyone can help let me know. Thank you in advance.

    - is this Hexi-, Deci- or IS4v adresses http://0000000000330.211 I have received several email messages (showing free (gmail) return addresses). I got no response from the OL group. They have an odd looking http address in the body of the email. I do not click on such things, But I actually do not know what this kind of link is, or what it might do. There are a couple of variations, such as this: <A href="http://0000000000330.211.0x0000000009E. 000000000000000000174"> or <a href="http:// 0x00000000000D8.00000000000323.0x000000000000000000000009E. 124"> or <a href="http://0000000000330.211.0x0000000009E. 000000000000000000174"> It looks like a loopback, a physical memory address, or some port, an executable. Or is this Hexi-, Deci- X n base IP address. I am not sure where else to post this type of question. Thanks for your assistance. -- Respectfully, Roger Howland RogerH@theJobDr.com.(noSPAM) Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 92962

    - How to have system service to access network I have a VB app that i runs from a LocalSystem service with CreateProcessAsUser: The app gets the token of the service so it runs under LocalSystem too. When i call in my app that as said run from the Localsystem service to: WNetAddConnection2, i get error 1312 (ERROR_NO_SUCH_LOGON_SESSION) In my opinion since a LocalSystem service does not have access to network. Can i make the app that run from the LocalSystem service to access Network so that WNetAddConnection2 will work? I run it on XP pro and Vista - same problem. (The app and The service must keep running under LocalSystem - i do not want to change that) Thanks! Tag: IIS Metabase Events Tag: 92961
