    - ftp tcp reset floods anyone familiar with something going around that is doing tcp resets on ftp ports against akamai servers (err, 15% of the internet akamai)? I have something jumping from one windows pc to another using them to burst hundreds of thousands of small (less than 50 bytes) ftp packets against various akamai servers. I have sniffed the traffic, and it consists of small packets with the tcp reset flag set to 1 coming from a non-privileged port on the pc (e.g. 1046) and going against port 21 on the remote machine. This is followed by an ack response from the remote machine (which is listed as a duplicate ack) back to port 1046. Rinse and repeat a few hundred thousand times. This traffic brings the cpu utilization on our router quickly up to 100% at which point it starts to dump services. I am not sure if this is an attempt to participate in a DDoS against the remote machines, or if it is an attempt to tank my router. Windows pcs have updated anti-virus (CA), are NOW running windows firewall, and are fully patched to today (although they may have been compromised at any time in the past, who knows). Several have had on-line f-secure and symantec scans in safe-mode that show nothing. Once I turn on Windows Firewall (it was turned off to allow some administration via CA Antivirus admin console and for Enterprise ghost functions to work), that seems to stop the traffic, but I still must have a a nasty bug waiting to pounce. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89854

    - MS-CHAP V2 and server certs I have a question about IAS, PEAP MS-CHAP V2, and wireless. I am using MS-CHAP V2 to authenticate PDAs on our wireless network. Because we are using MS-CHAP V2, we are using AD credentials to authenticate the clients. Everywhere I have read it states that we have to install the server certificate onto the device. I have found a loop hole though. Both on the wireless PDA and laptops, we can choose not to validate the server certificate. I can still authenticate to the IAS server (wireless) but I have not installed the server cert onto the device (because I have unchecked the validate server checkbox both in zero config and the wireless application). This is my question, if we don't validate the server and if we don't have the server cert, won't the transmission of the user account and password be in clear text? Is there a way on the IAS server that we have to force the clients to have the server cert or they wont be authenticated? Thanks, Peter Kim Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89849

    - Microsoft TV Advert & Security 'people ready business' Hi All, Has anyone seen the TV Advertisement featuring a character named Alberto, advertising the 'people ready business'? It is on UK television, I couldn't say about any other country. I have spotted several security problems with the advert. 1. Alberto is in a lift (elevator) 'shoulder surfing' over someone who is using her PDA. She had no idea if all the people in the lift were staff cleared to see the information. 2. Alberto is trying to swipe his card to enter a door. Another person just opens the door. If a security device is fitted, it should be used! 3. Alberto does not log on to his workstation. No login = no accountability. Now, I know this is the fanciful whim of an advertising agency but do you think Microsoft should have allowed this to be released? Comments? Me.

    - Windows 2003/Windows XP security question Hi I have a question that's been bugging me a little... Suppose I have a machine that needs to be on the internet, e.g. SMTP Gateway, FTP server etc. The actual box would be a high spec desktop machine rather than a dedicated HP server. What OS would be the best to use? Windows 2003 Server or Windows XP Pro? Is Windows 2003 Server actually more secure than Windows XP? Or is XP recommended here because it is a desktop machine, although 2003 will work fine on it. Network wise, we are using a Cisco PIX 506E firewall that will assign the box a NAT address. Would be grateful for any advise... Thanks SJ Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89826

    - ztm file extension listed as executable Hi all, I just ran this old utility called LExE (from Mischel Internet Security) to find out which file extensions are listed as exeutable on my machine. Among the usual extensions, the tool listed ".ztm". Not knowing where this had come from, I changed the extension on a text file on my desktop to the .ztm, and checked the properties, which gave the following output: Type of file:ZipGenius Theme Opens with:%1 I do have ZipGenius installed so the first part sounds possible. But since I do not think a zip tool theme file should be listed as executable, I did a search in the registry to try to find out where the extension is set. A full search in the regedit returned no results. Anyone knows where a file extension is set to be executable? thanks in advance JJ Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89822

    - GPO & Password set to expire When a user logs onto the domain from their workstation and the "user must change password at next logon" option is selected if they type a password less then 3 characters it gives an error message. I'm not sure why this is happening. The group policy object does not have a minimum password selected. If I have them type the same password on the domain controller under "reset password" it accepts the password as they type it. Do I have a policy set wrong?? After typing the password on the server reset password option they are able to logon to the domain on the workstation with that password with no problem? Thanks for your help.

    - General EFS Question EFS newbie here - We have an SBS2003 domain and most all work is done in the office on workstations. Some users are now looking at VPN from home and using Remote Desktop Connection to their workstations when necessary. This is good, but I would like to make sure that files that leave the office are not going to open or otherwise be usable to anyone. For example, if someone copied a file from our network over a VPN and then tried running it on their own (remote) computer, the fie would not open or run; But if they brought that same copied file back into our office, say on a floppy, it would run or open. From what I know, as long as the key to decrypt the file does not leave the network, then the file should only open on the network - Right? Thanks Paul Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89806

    - Do I need a CA\PKI I will be setting up an Active Directory network in the near future. I was wondering if I need a CA\PKI for my environment. Here is what I am looking at setting up. Two domain controllers, that will also serve as file servers. One of the domain controllers will have a tape backup unit connected to it running Backup Exec. IIS will not be installed anywhere in the domain. Users will have a home directory, and may have access to other shared directories as needed. The majority of users will be connecting to the domain in the LAN, and will not have access to the domain remotely. All the servers in the domain will be in the same location. Given this environment, do I need to set up a CA/PKI? If so what are the reasons and advantages of doing so? Thanks for any input. Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89792

    - Is it a Sasser worm? Hi all. Yesterday I started a shutdown of my server. It hanged for a while, then it displayed this message: (...) The system process 'C:\WINNT\system32\lsass.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code 128. The system will now shut down and restart. So it seems there is a Sasser infection. But there are some points: - The server is a Windows 2000 Server SP4 OS. The sasser patch, KB835732, is installed since year 2004 - Security rollup and other hotfixes are installed, too - the antivirus software running on the server is up to date and it did not found any virus - the server is not connected with the Internet - there is not other evidence of this virus (registry key, avserve.exe, win.log, ecc.) So, what is happening? A new sasser variant? Another infected computer on the LAN is trying to infect the server? Or maybe this message is not always caused by this virus? Thank You.

    - Capicom Security Alert We've developed a web application on our internal Intranet, which includes the creation of a digital signature. This functionality is developed using the capicom dll. When capicom is initiated from IE a number of security alerts are displayed about accessing the local certificate stores. We are receiving complaints from our end users about how many prompts they are receiving. One of the capicom prompts allows the user to tick a check box to stop it appearing again when the user accesses the same website. This works fine for the browser session but as soon as the browser is closed down this flag is lost and the prompt appears next time the user tries to produce a signature. Is this how it is meant to work? And is there any way of maintaining this across browser sessions so that the user does not have to click on this prompt everytime they create a signature on our internal website? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89784

    - Important...Interesting...Danger behind some file types ?? I have played with Windows XP professional for some time and I see that some Microsoft applications such as Outlook Express and MSN / Windows Live Messenger flags many file types as 'dangerous' because it could contain some kind of code that could somehow compromise the system such as .EXE .SCR .BAT .COM .SCR .PIF .HTA .VBS .JS .HLP .CHM .REG .INF and many others. at each one it is clear that it can compromise the system via executable code eg. EXE BAT COM PIF SCR or some kind of script code, eg. in HLP, HTA VBS and JS files. Now my question... why do they also flag .URL and .SCF files as dangerous ? I searched everywhere on those files structures and how they are 'scripted' but didnt find anything that could directly compromise the system. the URL file (internet shortcut can do the same, if not less then an HTML file but HTML files are not flaged as dangerous. in URL files you can assign any shortcut u want or execute local files using 'file:///' protocol, but with HTML it is also possible to display the content of an arbitrary external website via IFRAME tag and execute local files using the OBJECT tag. so I wonder why URL files are dangerous and blocked ?? also .SCF files why they are dangerous?...Microsoft provided very little documentation on these files but the most 'harm' it can do is minimize all opened windows hehe. so I would really appreciate if someone, perhaps some Microsoft security professional gave me some light here. By the way a specially crafted desktop.ini file can be much more dangerous but .INI files are not flagged or blocked. Also something tricky with INF files. If you download an INF file and open it, Internet Explorer warns asking if you really want to execute the 'software'. Why is that if the INF file has the default OPEN command set to notepad.exe. (double clicking the file opens it in notepad). To install it, it should be right-clicked and select install. So warnings should only go to the 'INSTALL' command, this way it would not confuse users or give a false alarm of 'danger'. thanks very much in advance and hope to hearing from someone soon :) Tag: Private or encryption box?

    - Setting up 2 domains with one way trust to dmz What I have now is a domain on the inside interface of a firewall and workgroups on the dmz. I am thinking for easier administration that making a second domain on the dmz with a one way trust would help cut down the administration of accounts and such. To me it looks fairly straight forward for the domain creation. I would create a new domain like dmz.xxxxx.com for the dmz with inside domain being xxxxx.com. Now the big question what ports need to be open for all this to work correctly on the firewall? I found ms artical 179442 which lists a ton of ports that need to be opened to make this work. I have no problem with the server ports its the client ports that I don't like. maybe I am reading it wrong or something. any help would be most welcome. list of server ports 135/tcp RPC 389/TCP/UDP LDAP 636/TCP LDAP SSL 3268/TCP LDAP GC 3269/TCP LDAP GC SSL 53/TCP/UDP DNS 88/TCP/UDP Kerberos 445/TCP SMB Client ports 1024-65535/TCP/UDP or is this the same as I have configured already on the firewall of any on the inside has access to dmz?

    - Using Cipher for Default Encryption Settings We have a client who would like to encrypt data with EFS. The client would like to have it setup so that all data folders are encrypted by default. The client would also like to have it setup that new directories created by the user are also tagged for encryption by default. Basically the client doesn't want the user to "accidentally" have unencrypted data on the hard drive. I am looking for an alternative to Whole Disk Encryption products, and I would like to use EFS. I know EFS can not be used to protect system files or the root directory. That's ok. My question is, can I use the cipher.exe command to set all possible (non-system, non-root) directories to be tagged for encryption? I am thinking about the following command: cipher /e /i /s:c:\ I believe this will set the encryption flag for all directories starting the root directory, and ignoring the errors (for c:\, c:\windows, & any other system directories). My understanding is that this flag means any new files or directories created or copied into these "encrypted-flagged" directories will be encrypted on the write. Then, a second command of: cipher /e /a could be used to actually encrypt the file data in certain directories such as My Documents to encrypt current, existing data on the hard drive. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks -MB Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89752

    - Lingering corruption issues from MS06-049 - KB article 925308 This new article speaks to a fix to the problem created by 06-049. If the patch is broken why is this not a re-release of the patch? I see none of the usual "Microsoft only recommends applying this to systems experiencing the problem..." I take it then that every system on which 06-049 is installed is still potentially vulnerable to file corruption. If so then 925308 is in fact a vital patch not for security's sake but for data protection's sake. MS please respond. Should we apply this fix to all systems that have 06-049 installed.

I am using MS-CHAP V2 to authenticate PDAs on our wireless network. Because we are using MS-CHAP V2, we are using AD credentials to authenticate the clients. Everywhere I have read it states that we have to install the server certificate onto the device. I have found a loop hole though. Both on the wireless PDA and laptops, we can choose not to validate the server certificate. I can still authenticate to the IAS server (wireless) but I have not installed the server cert onto the device (because I have unchecked the validate server checkbox both in zero config and the wireless application). This is my question, if we don't validate the server and if we don't have the server cert, won't the transmission of the user account and password be in clear text? Is there a way on the IAS server that we have to force the clients to have the server cert or they wont be authenticated? Thanks, Peter Kim Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89711

    - Someone hacked into my computer... I'm under the impression that my computer has been hacked into. It seems whoever it was took a special likeing to my school files (mainly papers I've written over time), as that folder is now empty. Fortunately windows recorded the last date and time the contents of that folder were "modified". My question is is there some way I can see who was in my computer at that time? This happened somewhat recently I'm guessing (about 2 days ago according to windows). Seeing as I was on the computer at the time specified, I know it wasn't anyone I live with. Thanks to anyone that can help. Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89698

    - security template unreadable On a windows 2000 system recently updated to sp4, I have been getting 2 regular security-rleated events in the event/application log 1) one a warning SecCli event 1202--Security policies are propagated with warning. 0xd : The data is invalid. Please look for more details in TroubleShooting section in Security Help. 2) an error: Usrenv event 1000 The Group Policy client-side extension Security was passed flags (17) and returned a failure status code of (13). None of the knowlege base articles on these errors seem to apply to my situation. Winnt\security\log\winlogon.log reports "Reading Configuration template info...Error 13: The data is invalid. secreateglobalprivilege is not a valid privilege." In the management console, windows is unable to read the basic security template. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me if these errors are causing any practical problems--especially my inabilty to start rasman (unable to create buffers) or cannot connect with mysql (connection lost). And, if so, what's the fix? I'm not a newbie, but neither am I an expert in this area. Thanks Tag: Private or encryption box? Tag: 89692

Encryption does not hide them, it encrypts the data. What are you trying to achieve?
