    - Invalid Digital Signature in Certificate Dear All, I have a digital certificate which when opened (double-clicking) with Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP shows the following error message "The integrity of this certificate cannot be guaranteed. The certificate may be corrupted or may have been altered" The same certificates opens up without any such error in Windows 98/Windows NT machines. Is this any Patch problem ?

    - two-factor authentication for both local and remote login Can anyone here suggest a solution for two-factor authentication (e.g., password and USB key) that would work both for normal Windows login (i.e., user is sitting at PC) *and* for remote login via Remote Desktop (or some equivalent remote access solution)? The solution must support the *same* two-factor method for *both* kinds of access. Cheers, James Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85978

    - Computer(s) keep trying to crash on me. It seemed to start about 6 months after I bought a new computer from infotech. It is running XP pro, has an MSI motherboard and cable modem. I was running Defender antivirus and firewall, but someone was able to disable the firewall and antivirus (from a remote location) without me noticing. I usually turn the computer off at night, or if I won't be using it for a while, but evidently the computer doesn't need to be on to access it remotely. Anyway, I turned it on one morning and noticed the display was different, the mouse and keyboard both had their drivers removed and all my email was gone. Shortly after that you could hear the harddrive running like crazy. I assumed it was a virus, so i tried going into msconfig to turn most of the stuff off. I noticed windows explorer was running, along with remote desktop and a few other web-publishing programs most of which I have never used. When I attempted to restart the computer, all I got was a "no operating system found" error. I have lots more info, but no time right now to go into detail. If anyone has had a similar problem or has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks!!!! Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85970

    - Permissions I need help here. I have a SBS2003 network with a member server running Windows 2003 Server. I have setup volumes on the machine, i.e. H, T, V drive etc... Now, what I have done is I have shared out these volumes, e.g. T drive with the Share to have Everyone=Read. The Security tab also has the same, Everyone=Read. Now, a user has setup a folder in T drive (called EEE) and shared this as well. This time, the share permissions are for that user only=Full Control, and in the security tab that user is set to=Full Control. Via Network Neighbourhood>Windows Network>etc... the user can paste into the subfolder in T drive (shared as EEE) with no problem, but when he goes through machinename\T\EEE he is unable to. He does not understand the fact that right-clicking the EEE folder has the same permissions (i.e. Full Control is greyed out) but going in via the correct share he will have different rights. He believes that no matter what, that user has the same permissions via any share he goes through on T drive - i.e. T or EEE. Furthermore, I need to understand the logic myself before I speak to him, so please can someone make me understand this. Thanks, S Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85962

    - looking for a suitable proxy Hi. I've posted about proxy's before, but now I know better what and how I want to protect myself. Using security services that have a very high security, such as those that send heavily encrypted data, can be counterproductive and attract attention, because someone who would use one of those would probably have something to hide. Wouldn't the NSA or the Israelities/israelies (?) be interested ? I'm just looking for a secure proxy, without taking extreme measures with regard to security. A proxy service through which a lot of traffic would go would be good, I'm less likely to be noticed that way. In the first place I want to protect myself against criminals, hackers, nosy people, organizations and yes, I don't want Big Brother (the state) looking over my shoulder. A proxy in control by a non-profit organization or some other organization that would fight for my privacy, even if pressed by law or security officials or advanced social engineering, would probably be good. Is more anonymity better ? I wonder in which Homeland Security would be interested ... Also important is speed. Often, proxies slow down speed, and I'm using a broadband connection. Essentially my computer name AND IP are static, would proxies hide them ? I know you can't get 100% anonymity, but that's ok. What about www.the-cloak.com ? I live in Western Europe. Any recommendations ? Thank you. Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85950

    - SSL/TLS & renegotiation and Internet Explorer Dear All, I am working on my own server that supports SSL, both with and without client authentication. I am in the process of implementing a feature which allows the server to prompt the user to provide his digital certificate whenever he tries to access a resource that requires client authentication. So whenever i get a request for such a Page then my server sends a SSL HelloRequest to the Client thus initiating a SSL renegotiation. The server caches the HTTP request in its Session buffer before it initiates the renegotiation. So, the client re-initiates the handshake by sending the 'client-hello' packet (encrypted with the session key negotiated in the previous session) and the server reciprocates with the serverhello, server cert, client cert request and server hello done packets, all encrypted with the older session key. At this stage, IE closes the connection with the server and prompts the client to choose his digital certificate. When the client chooses the certificate it re-initiates the handshake, establishes a new connection and then starts the handshake process again with the 'client-hello' packet. Now, at this stage I am not sure how to link up the old SSL session and the new SSL session on the server side. Actually I have to forward the HTTP request to another backend server, get the response and forward it to the IE client. My question is how do i link the old and new sessions that i have established with the Internet Explorer. Is there anything that will be common between the two sessions Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Regards Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85946

    - Partial profiles appearing on W2K GC A handful of partial profiles have appeared on a client's W2K GC in the "documents and settings" directory. The profiles belong to user accounts that are NOT administrator accounts. The profiles only have three subdirectories instead of the customary twelve subdirectories. The three directories are "Application Data", "Cookies" and "Local Settings". NTUSER.DAT, ntuser.dat.log, and ntuser.ini are also created. It is my understanding that user profiles should only appear on a W2K GC in the "Documents and Settings" directory as a result of a user logging on from the server keyboard, or by an administrator logging in via Terminal Services (which is in admin mode). Windows Update and the client's third party patch management software both report the server as fully patched. 1) Is there any legitimate way that a non-admin user could create a profile on the server? 2) If the profiles were created by a user using an exploit to elevate their privileges via Terminal Services, how would you manually check to see that the appropriate TS patches were actually fully installed?

    - Be careful using AIM & all Instant Messengers Worm appears as Microsoft antipiracy program http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/06/30/HNwormmsantipiracy_1.html <QP> Security analysts have detected a new piece of malware that appears to run as a Microsoft program used to detect unlicensed versions of its operating system. The malware has been classified as a worm and spreads through AOL's Instant Messenger program, said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos, a security vendor. Sophos is calling it W32.Cuebot-K, a new variation in the Cuebot family of malware. The worm has a range of malicious functions. After it's installed, the worm immediately tries to connect to two Web sites, a sign it may try to download other bad programs on the machine. Cuebot-K can disable other software, shut off the Windows firewall, download new malicious programs, perform basic DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks, scan local files and spawn a command prompt, Sophos said. Worms that spread through instant messaging programs often appear as messages or links sent from friends, which trick a user into executing the program. Cuebot-K propagates by sending itself as a file named "wgavn.exe" to more people in the user's "Buddy List" but without a message, Cluley said. </QP> -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), Aumha.org VSOP, DTS-L.org Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85836

The switch sends the wrong login credentials to the IAS Radius server which denies the access request because the domain controller for this, wrong, domain can not be found.

    - Windows 2003 remote admin access Hello, I have a query which is only apparent due to politics in the work place. On a technical level I can quite easily stop this issue but am intrigued as to how this can be happening?.. One of our Windows 2003 servers is being accessed by a user who does have an administrator account, but does not have local access to the server. From outside the local network the only permitted inbound access is for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP and FTP, all using the standard ports. There is no remote access software installed, e.g. Remote Desktop, NetOp etc. How can it be possible for files to be added / removed, permissions changed etc on this server via these protocols? (Obviously the user can interact with the services that are provided, but things are changing outside of these locations). Any ideas at all, anyone? Thanks, John Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85788

    - Disabling local user accounts on remote servers I have a local user account that is a member of the local admins group on over 100 hundred servers. I would like to disable this local account from a central location (my pc) instead of logging into each server and manually disabling. I am a domain admin. I would also prefer not to do this by using computer management and connecting to the servers I want to disable the account on. If I cannot do this i'd like to at least be able to change the password of this local user account from my pc instead of logging into each server. Can this be done with a script or batch file. If so can anyone provide some sample code as I am not very familiar with writing scripts? Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85785

    - Local System Account & Network Access Hi, I have a custom developed windows service running on XP - very simple , it accepts commands via TCP/IP and executes them on the pc on which it is installed. The service gets installed with 'Local System' account credentials which by all accounts does not have access to network resources. I am however able to send commands to the service instructing it to install software packages which reside on a network share (shared read-only for domain users) and it works just fine. I am concerned because all the documentation I have read indicates that this should not be possible, are there any special circumstances where the System account can access UNC share paths?

    - Is Acitve Directory keeping track of old account names? After an account has been renamed (and the proper audit settings have been set) event 685 will be created in the security log of the DC. Event 685's description displays the old Account name and the new account name. Does anyone know whether MS-AD itself keeps track of the old names? Are the old names being stored in some attribute or is it possible to enable such a feature? Regards, Frank Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85782

    - where to upload unknown files for analysis I ran a virus(nod32) and spyware(webroot) check which could not find anything wrong with the following files: daneng.dll ddayy.exe Both of them have the same date and time stamp. daneng.dll caused explorer.exe to crash which, when I renamed the file, explorer did not crash anymore. It crashed when using fast user switching in xp. The files do not have any version or company information, and do not seem to be associated with any application. I could not find daneng.dll in a google search. I found one reference to ddayy.exe but no information about it. Does anyone know where I can upload them for analysis?

    - how to secure VPN to a SQL server? I have a deployment package that automatically sets up a VPN on a remote client PC (public). What I'm concerned about is the client PC obtaining a virus and that virus finding its way to our server via the VPN. The client PC's do need Internet access & Email access while the VPN is enabled. The VPN is used only for communication with the SQL server -- basically a split tunnel VPN solution. (TCP/IP settings, Use default gateway on remote network is NOT checked) What are my options?

    - Renaming a Certificate Root authority I need to rename the certificate root, the "issued by" field on the certificate. Is this possible with Windows 2000, or Win2k3? If so, would the certificates previously issued by that CA be invalidated? Thank you, Bill Tag: Securing a Mobile 5 Device Tag: 85765

Hello all,
I am cross posting to Security and SBS since we are an MSBS with our M5
devices connecting to SBS environments.

We are migrating our organization, and subsequently clients, from Palm to M5
devices. On the Palm, we have an easy to manage encryption software package
that encrypts data on the device and on the SD card.

Is there anything out there that is reasonably priced for small business
that is similar in its abilities?

We are looking to encrypt the Outlook data on the M5 device itself, since it
contains sensitive information... The remote wipe will not work if the unit
is in a faraday cage or in some way radio isolated. It also will not take
care of the data on any media cards inserted in the M5 device.

We are also looking to encrypt the contents of the media cards.

Any help pointing us in the right direction is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Philip Elder
MSBS
