    - Certificate problem with Windows Server 2003 Hi all, I'm trying to set up a RADIUS authentication method using 802.1x in a test lab, although I'm having a problem with certificates I wondered if anyone could help please. I have : an IAS (Internet Authentication Service) server, an IIS (web) server, a Domain Controller and a test client. All the above are Win Server 2003 except the client which is XP Pro, and are all in a test domain. My problem is that I don't want to use the Domain Controller as the Certification Authority, so I've installed CA on the web server, and given it relevant permissions. Now when I request a certificate for the computer account of the IAS server, I get the error "There are no trusted certification authorities available, You do not have permissions to request certificates from the available CAs, or the available CAs issue certificates to which you do not have permissions." The IAS server which I'm trying to request a certificate for has the Trusted Root Certificate from the CA server (the web server) in it's Trusted Root Certificates store. Now I'm logging in as an Enterprise Admin everytime I log in to any computer, so I wouldn't have thought its permissions. I'd be most grateful if anyone could help Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84688

    - Its all about my Antivirus Well it seem that my antivirus is responsible for blocking the windows of gathering my IP Address.... The story goes by installing SP2 of winXP.... When I havent yet installed my antivirus the windows and my lancard successfully gathers my IP address but when I installed my antivirus software the problem goes.. First I thought that the problem is my Lan Card but by doing a little experiment I figure out who the real problem or what is causing this problem.... Im using a Panda Internet Security 2005 as an AntiVirus Software.. My question is what should I do??? Should I replace my current antivirus or is there another step in solving this problem of mine.... I hope answering this question should help me and others who are experiencing the same type of scenario.... Thanks Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84684

    - MS Antispyware Leftovers Hi All, Is MS Antispyware and Windows Defender two separate applications so that the newer version does not depend on any files from the older version. I have a folder and several subfolders for MS Antispyware still listed in my program files folder after upgrading to Windows Defender. Can it and all references to it be deleted? Defender seems to be working fine and I didn't want to mess up anything by deleting something it depends on in MS Antispyware. TIA Ron Bee Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84668

    - DNS security question Hi, Is it considered a good security practice to not allow DCs making direct DNS requests to Internet? I have read about different DNS responses attacks that can help an attacker to take control of the DC via an incorrect DNS response (buffer overflow etc.). Would it be more secure to use DNS forwarders? If yes, where we should place them? Into DMZ? Thank you Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84658

    - IPSEC and ICMP I have a GPO that implements the Server (Request Security) IPSEC setting. Pretty much everything works except PING. When I try to PING from one server to the another, I get the 'Request Timed Out' message. My understanding is that this policy has a setting that allows ICMP packets to be sent unsecured so I don't understand why the PING is failing. TIA Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84652

    - Constant Ping From Domain Controller I help administer a small network with 3 windows 2003 domain controllers, each in a different subnet connected by T1 frame relay. The problem I am seeing is there is a constant ping from the Master Domain controller in the main office too the other domain controllers in the two remote offices. I have gone through the task manager and cannot locate what may be the source of these pings. Does anyone know if this is part of the 2003 active directory sync or keepalive? The pings have me worried there may be something on the server. Any help or direction provided will be greatly appreciated. Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84650

    - CryptoAPI CSP Availability I recently set up a new system with WinXP Pro SP2 and discovered that algorithms under Outlook didn't include SHA1 or 3DES... which I'm required to use under for a customer. I'm pretty sure the set of suported algorithms is from the CryptoAPI, and so the theory is that I can install additional CSPs. I recall doing this under prior versions of Windows with the "High Encryption Pack". However, I can't seem to find any MS download or product that will do this for XP. I found a list of the MS CSPs defined for the CryptoAPI at the following: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/seccrypto/security/microsoft_cryptographic_service_providers.asp Any suggestions or pointers?

    - SMAC 2.0 MAC Address Changer is released! =============================== SMAC 2.0 - MAC Address Spoofer =============================== SMAC 2.0 URL: http://www.klcconsulting.net/smac SMAC 2.0 is released! SMAC is a powerful, yet an easy-to-use and intuitive Windows MAC Address Changer which allows users to spoof MAC address for almost any Network Interface Cards (NIC) on the Windows 2000, XP, and 2003 Server systems, regardless of whether the manufacturers allow this option or not. ================== SMAC 2.0 Features: ================== - Change MAC Address with 3 clicks: --- Click to select a network adapter --- Click "Random" to generate a MAC Address to spoof --- Click "Update MAC" to change and activate new MAC Address - Protect your personal privacy by hiding the real MAC Address of your Network Adapters - Easy, intuitive, and user-friendly GUI for viewing and changing MAC addresses - Allow users the option to set the network adapter to automatically restart after MAC Address spoofing, or manually restart - Displays the following information of your Network Interface Card (NIC) o Device ID o Active Status o NIC description o NIC Manufacturer o Spoofed status (Yes/No) o IP Address o Active MAC addresses o Spoofed MAC Address o NIC Hardware ID o NIC Configuration ID - Displays the Network Adapter manufacturer associated with the New Spoofed MAC Address - Allow users to generate random MAC Addresses for spoofing - Allow users the option to display detailed information of all available adapters, or ONLY the active network adapters - Allow users to display Network and IP Configuration (IPConfig) information with 1 button click - Allow users to view up to 10 Most Recently Used (MRU) MAC Addresses and select a new Spoofed MAC Address directly from the MRU list - Allow users to load a MAC Address List and choose New Spoofed MAC Address directly from the list (Professional Edition only) - Allow users to create comprehensive reports on Network Adapter details (Professional Edition only) - Built-in logging capability allows users to track MAC address change activities (Professional Edition has the option to turn-on or turn-off this option) - Remove spoofed MAC Address to restore original MAC Address SMAC URL: http://www.klcconsulting.net/smac ====================== Why use SMAC? ====================== -Protect Personal and Individual Privacy by cloning a different MAC Address. Many organizations track wired or wireless network users via their MAC Addresses... In addition, there are more and more wifi Wireless connections available these days, and Wireless network is all based on the MAC Addresses, therefore, wireless network security and privacy is all about MAC Addresses! -Perform Security Vulnerability Testing. Penetration Testing on MAC Address based Authentication and Authorization Systems, i.e. Wireless Access Points. (Disclaimer: Authorization to perform these tests must be obtained from the system owner(s).) -Build "TRUE" Stand-by (offline) systems with the EXACTLY THE SAME ComputerName, IP, and MAC ADDRESSES as the Primary Systems. If Stand-by systems should be put online, NO ARP table refresh is necessary, which eliminates any possible ARP related issues that could cause extra downtime. -Some online Game Players (Gamers) require changing the MAC addresses to fix IP problems for some reasons... -Build High-Availability solutions. For example, some firewalls that run on multi-port NIC's (i.e. quad port NIC) require the same MAC address for every port to achieve fail-over. -Troubleshoot Network problems. ARP Tables, Routering, Switching, ... -Troubleshoot system problems -Test network management tools -Test incident response procedures on simulated network problems -Test Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), whether they are Host and Network Based IDS. -If for whatever reason you need to keep the same MAC address as your old NIC, but your old NIC failed... -Some software can ONLY be installed and run on the systems with pre-defined MAC address in the license file. If you need to install one of these software to another system with a different Network Interface Card (NIC) because your system or NIC is broken, SMAC will come handy. However, you are responsible to comply with the software vendor's licensing agreement. -Some Cable Modem ISP's assign users the IP addresses base on the PC's MAC addresses. For whatever reason, if you need to swap 2 PC's regularly to connect to the cable modem, it would be a lot easier to change the MAC addresses rather than to change Network Interface Card (NIC). (You need to check with your ISP and make sure you are not violating any service agreements.) ==================== SMAC URL: http://www.klcconsulting.net/smac Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84616

    - NO_CLIENT_SITE I recently started having problems with one of my servers. It keeps recording the error message NO_CLIENT_SITE in netlogon.log. The funny thing is the IP address is the machine's PUBLIC IP address, not it's private address. The machine itself has been assigned a private IP address (NAT is done in the router). The machine is on a seperate subnet from my DCs, but the subnets are routed appropriately. I can ping my internal servers IP and I can trace directly to my internal servers. Any ideas?

    - Remote User "Quarantine" and access control I was at a Microsoft seminar a year or two ago that covered laptop or remote user access security and how Windows Server and other Micorosoft technologies could be used to control remote user access to business LAN. They talked about being able to set up VPN access to LAN and being able to scan remote user laptop/desktop to verify whether it's patches and updates were up to date and if they were the remote user was allowed into LAN if if they were not up to date then the remote user was "quarantined" and not allowed access to the LAN until it was updated and then allowed into LAN. What is required to do this and is there any documentation on how to set this up? Thanks, Jose Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84600

    - "Run AS" but with restrictions Hi there, I am playing around with the "Run As" option for allowing my "limited users" access to applications that require privileges of an admin. Instead of giving them the actual Administrator password, ive created another admin "BF2" user so they can use those credentials. What I am trying to do is: Restrict the local user down to a couple applications that he can use the "run as" command on as the "BF2" user, but I can still be able to use the run as option on all applications as the "administrator" user (for when I need to run admin programs) Ill give you an example... Local User (with limited privs) called JoeBlog Administrator User used for running programs called BF2 And local administrator is Administrator. Ok, so JoeBlog wants to play Battlefield2 (for instance) but punkbuster requires the program be run with admin provileges, so Ive created a BF2 user and added it to the administrator group, and they can now run BattleField 2 as the BF2 user and all is good. I have disabled the ability to log in (to the desktop) on the BF2 user, but I would like to restrict the "Run As BF2 user" down to just the Battlefield executable and nothing else. But still be able to "Run As Administrator" on everything else (for my management). Does anyone know of a way to lock this down? Would it be something that needs to be set on JoeBlog's account or the BF2 account? I can disable the Run As command all together but then I lose the option to run Battlefield as an admin user...

    - IPsec Over Tunnel I am trying to encrypt my wireless traffic with IPsec. My configuration is as follows: OpenBSD 3.8 gateway (192.168.100.20) connected to Linksys accesspoint via crossover cable. Macintosh OS X 10.4 (192.168.100.200) AirPort Windows XP SP2 (192.168.100.120) Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG I am using isakmpd on the OpenBSD computer, racoon on OS X and ipseccmd on Windows. If I configure transport policies the setup works correctly. However, if I use tunnel, the Macintosh works correctly, but the Windows computer does not. Below are the ipseccmd commands I am using for Windows. Transport mode: ipseccmd -u ipseccmd -f 192.168.100.120=192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0 -n ESP[3DES,MD5]1800s -a cert:"C=US, S=Missouri, L=Saint Louis, O=Home LAN" -1s 3DES-SHA-2 -1k 1800s ipseccmd -f 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0=192.168.100.120 -n ESP[3DES,MD5]1800s -a cert:"C=US, S=Missouri, L=Saint Louis, O=Home LAN" -1s 3DES-SHA-2 -1k 1800s After executing these commands, I can ping 192.168.100.20. After several "Negotiating IP Security" messages, I receive replies from the remote computer. I can ping from the OpenBSD computer to the Windows computer as well. Tunnel mode: ipseccmd -u ipseccmd -f 192.168.100.120=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -t 192.168.100.20 -n ESP[3DES,SHA]1800s -a cert:"C=US, S=Missouri, L=Saint Louis, O=Home LAN" -1s 3DES-SHA-2 -1k 1800s ipseccmd -f 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0=192.168.100.120 -t 192.168.100.120 -n ESP[3DES,SHA]1800s -a cert:"C=US, S=Missouri, L=Saint Louis, O=Home LAN" -1s 3DES-SHA-2 -1k 1800s After executing these commands and pinging 192.168.100.20 I receive several "Negotiating IP Security" messages again. However, instead of receiving replies, I now get "Request timed out". If I examine the Oakley.log file, I can see that SA is successfuly netotiated. I would expect that if firewalls or some other ICMP block was in place, that it would affect both transport and tunnel mode. Any suggestions? thanks, Michael Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84562

    - Printers dont assign after GPO Security changes... Hi guys, Got a bit of a complicated one so put your thinking caps on. We've gone through recently and tightened down our Win2k3 domain (with only WinXP clients) using Group Policy. Since we have made some changes, most of which are recommended or required, clients are no longer having their printers mapped via logon script. These are the Security GPO changes made: - Domain controller: LDAP server signing requirements (Require signing ) - Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) (Enabled) - Domain member: Require strong (Windows 2000 or later) session key (Enabled) - Network access: Allow anonymous SID/Name translation (Disabled) - Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts (Enabled) - Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares (Enabled) - Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users (Disabled) As for the printers users were getting their access via the EVERYONE group. I have confirmed that as far as the Printer groups go, everyone is a member of their associated groups. The logon script says that if you are a member of that group, then map that specific printer. Since the groups arent assigned to the printers, they were naturally getting their access (previously) via the EVERYONE group. Since the above security changes, users seem to have lost their access to the EVERYONE group and the logon script is no longer installing the printers for them. I can confirm that the logon script has not changed since no one here knows VB :o) It was definitely one of the above changes. Can anyone think of which one?

    - Security feature in Microsoft's new Windows (Vista) could drive users nuts "SEATTLE - An annoying surprise awaits 2 million consumers expected to enthusiastically step forward in the next few weeks to help Microsoft test its new Windows Vista PC operating system. Volunteers will test Vista Beta 2, a near-final version of the much-hyped upgrade of Windows. The testing is the last step leading up to Vista's broad consumer release, scheduled for January. Beta 2 testers can expect to encounter an obtrusive security feature, called User Account Control (UAC). Designed to prevent intruders from performing harmful tasks, the feature grays out the computer screen, then prods you to confirm that you really want to do certain functions. In early test versions, the queries crop up so often that they interrupt routine tasks, such as changing the time clock or deleting shortcuts. And UAC sometimes triggers an endless loop of dialogue boxes that can be curtailed only by rebooting, says Paul Thurrott, news editor of Windows IT Pro magazine." http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2006-05-15-vista-security_x.htm?csp=34 -- Imhotep Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84526

Now it seems that whenever I try to assign permissions to those folders (c:\share), it tells me "access is denied". I'm trying to assign 3 different user groups access to the folder. 2 user groups need Full Access, the last group is read-only. As long as I'm the administrator on the server, I can create a file within the folder. Once I go to the workstation, no joy. Even if I sign on as Administrator, I can't create a file on that directory. It's like it killed all network access to the folder. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

    - Remote Windows User List Disclosure Vulnerability Hi everybody, We use a tool that audit our servers in order to avoid vulnerabilities.I=B4ve a DC w2003 with the following vulnerability: Remote Windows User List Disclosure Vulnerability. That means that a null session connection to the IPC$ share was successful and NetBIOS access can be obtained with any authenticated account on that host. Therefore unauthorized users can steal the remote user list. This kind of attack is commonly exploited by users with weak passwords, such as the GUEST account. Microsoft has published this article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;246261 The values for w2000 and w2003 are different. I=B4ve read that in w2003 in order to restrict anonymous you can only use 0 for disable and 1 for enable it. Meanwhile, in windows 2000 you have one more possible value, 2. Anyway, I=B4ve try to set it to 1 or 2 without success. I=B4ve also disabled the posibility of enumerate sam accounts and shares trought the domain controller security policy. After restarting the server I obtain again the vulnerability in that server. Any idea about this issue? Your help would be much appreciated, Regards.

    - Take Ownership of Multiple files at once Hello- We just installed a new server and on the old server we had a directory of photos that only two users had access to, myself (admin) and our lab tech. These permissions were assigned via NTFS. Now that I have put the drive in the new server it is not allowing me to do anything with the files as no one on this local computer has any security permissions for it. I can manually take ownership of folders and files with the admin rights I have on the server but there are over 450 photos in there and it would seem rediculous to have to do them individually. I have gone into the security/advanced tab of the parent folder and trield clicking the check box to "Replace permissions entries on all child objercts with entries shown here that apply to child objects" but it wont let me because there are no rights to the photos so it says access is denied. Is there any way I can take ownership of all of those files all at once in order to reassign proper permissions? I tried the obvious of selecting them all and going to the security tab but that is not available for muliple selected objects it states. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    - Exchange/Cisco VPN client failing I have a WinXP Pro w/Outlook 2003 laptop trying to connect through a Cisco VPN 4.0.5 to the Exchange server. This connection is initiated via a D-link wireless access point. I seem to be having trouble resolving DNS, getting through the firewall, or authenticating to the Exchange server. Outlook gets stuck in "trying to connect". It only seems to be problematic from this one location, so perhaps it's a firewall port I'm missing...although I've followed all D-link instructions for enabling this Cisco client at http://support.dlink.com/SupportFAQ/default.asp?model=DI%2D624 Closest I've come to solving this is using the following KB article tells me that MS04-11 update may create this problem, but I can't uninstall it as it appears to have come with SP2 or another roll-up.

    - WINDOWS DEFENDER in the last 2 months i've been hit by the spyfalcon virus twice, after running norton antivrus software - which did nothing to eradicate the virus, i turned to microsofts security advise section, downloaded the "windows defender" and ran the scan. it didnt even detect any virus/ spyware on my pc. i then tried microsofts free online pc scanning tool for viruses and spyware, and still it didnt detect spy falcon. i have to say that microsofts security products are just not up to the task!? all in all i find both microsoft and norton useless in keeping up to date with the latest fixes to well known issues that have been around for quite some time. anyone else suffered from the spy falcon virus ? -- aberdeenpirate Tag: Windows Defender Tag: 84392

If I use a password made up of ordinary characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) with no specials then how many characters do I need to use to make AES 256 uncrackable by a brute force attack? The info out there talks mainly of key length but I am not familiar with this field and I can sense they are not talking about the length of the password I am using.

Microsoft Windows Defender is beta product.
BETA means the software is not finished and it is in bug-checking state
however Defender does have bugs in it
Bugs Exist Try Another

At this time support for it is only provided from the specific newsgroups
which Microsoft has created for it
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/newsgroups/default.mspx

Unless you are paid to keep it , remove it immediately.
