Monitoring Servers
Hey guys,
I've been a lurker here for a while, but I need some specific answers
on this one.
I have a network with about 14 windows 2003 servers, Exchange 2003, and
also host two website in house. We have a PIX firewall and an IDS
System
on the outside of the PIX. But I really need a good solution for
securing
and monitoring our servers and network. right now I really have no way
of
telling if someone has gotten in to our network.Can someone give me
some ideas?
thats for all the help

Securing a Mobile 5 Device
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

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.

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: AD Security reporting tool 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,

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: AD Security reporting tool Tag: 85950
Permissions Removed from Folders

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.

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.

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?

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?

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?
Thanks,
