    - requesting cert from local CA: "no trusted certificate authorities I'm playing around with AD, certificates, and smart cards on a test server separated from the rest of our network. I'm currently going by http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/technologies/activedirectory/howto/mapcerts.mspx, trying to get a certificate that I can place on my smart card to log in with. I have a certificate authority installed on this domain controller (as a stand-alone root CA), and I can see its cert in "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities". If I try to launch the "Request New Certificate" wizard for any account, I get an error message saying the wizard could not be started because "there are no trusted certificate authorities available", or permission is denied. Is there something special I have to do to get the local machine to "trust" this CA, or some other way I should go about this? Thanks Bean Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89628

    - Scaperl: send handcrafted packets and sniff Hi, Scaperl is a portable, customizable packet creation and sending/sniffing tool written in Perl. It is based on PCAP and libdnet (and their respective Perl wrappers). It was tested on Windows XP, Linux and NetBSD. The goal is to have a minimal, portable, efficient implementation of Scapy concepts (written in Python, see Philippe Biondi's page at http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/), with readable, well commented code and good documentation. This is the first public release, only a few fields and dissectors have been implemented. People interested can have a look at my web page at http://sylvainsarmejeanne.free.fr/projects/scaperl for more information and for the documentation. Sylvain SARMEJEANNE Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89607

    - users and local Admins As you might know, We have a domain setup where it was migrated from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003. A security review (Audit) was done by third party and their report has number of issues. One of the issues is as follows: Each user account in the domain is member of the Local Administrators on his/her respective machines. Their recommendation is to remove user accounts from Local Admins in desktops and laptops. We tested removing the users from the local admin group for a small number of test users and we faced different symptoms after that (One user canâ??t open his PST file from inside Outlook, another User canâ??t open Adobe Acrobat PDFs, another user who was able to install application was not able to uninstall them, another user was not able to enable the wireless network connection while at home). We need an official advice from Microsoft in such scenario, is it better to keep the users as members of Local Admins on their laptops and avoid creating a lot of different problems or its recommended to remove them from the Local Admin Group and point out expected problems that might arias and how to solve them.

Sometimes I will add some files onto the hard disk, and I use Flashget(software for fast downloading) to download them. There is an option for installed antivirus software that can make these downloaded files scanned for virus.I chose where the AT software located and "Rtvscan.exe". But it does not work. After files downloaded, the AT software does not start scanning them, but there is a window of command line flashing for a second.

I'm working at a client where the manager wants to implement a IDS and network sniffer solution. Basically we want to 1) monitor and block intrusions into our nework from outside 2) track and block internet abuses 3) track and manage network performance (packets, http, etc..) All of this is to enhance the Cisco firewally we already have in place. Our network is Windows 2003 AD and what we're really starting to do is build an enterprise network that will provide the stability and protection we're looking for in the long run. We have 2 other branch offices that will need to be protected by this solution as well and I'm sure in the future we will be adding other branches to the scheme of things. Can anyone recommend any good security products that they've worked with that provides these functionalities? Thanks, Cooley Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89559

    - Kerberos key table file Hi All, We are using SSPI/GSSAPI for coding an application consisting of server and client. We know that the service keytab is stored in a key table file on the system where the server program is running and this keytab is extracted using the ktpass utility. We don't want to use key table file for storing service keytab as this is not that secure enough. I want to know the following : 1. Is there any other way (not key table file) of storing the service keytab on the system where the server program is running. for eg: the host service keytab (host/<host-fqdn>@REALM) is stored somewhere maybe a keystore on that host and not in a key table file. 2. Can we use the same store where the host keytab is stored. If so, can you please point me to the sample code or functions which does this. Thanks in Advance, Srini Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89542

I have created my CA server, configured my EFS recover template, but that leaves me with one question. When I request an EFS recovery certificate, the computer name is displayed in the summary page during the certificate request wizard. Does it matter which computer I create the recovery agentâ??s certificate upon as long as the computer is a member of the domain? Or does it need to be a certain computer in the domain such as a DC?

    - 802.1x, roaming profile, VLAN change Hi all, I have problem with roaming profile when the 802.1x authentication is configured and where there are 2 or more VLANs. If the machine authentication succesful, IAS will instruct the switch to configure the port to VLAN x. Then when a user logs on, IAS will instruct the switch to move the port to VLAN y. For other group of users, we set to VLAN z. The problem: the user won't be able to download (after logging in) and upload (after logging off). I notice that this is due to changing of VLAN on the switch: once the user logs on, the switch will quickly move the port to VLAN y, while the IP address of the PC still belongs to subnet of VLAN x. It means the PC cannot contact the server until it gets a new valid IP address (in the VLAN x). My setting: AuthMode --> 1 SupplicantMode --> 3 (based on http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/Library/8e74974f-c951-48ce-8235-02f4ed8e74921033.mspx?mfr=true) I tried to create: GpNetworkStartPolicyTimeoutValue --> 60 (seconds) (under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon, based on http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;840669) but no success. Is there any way to delay the downloading/uploading the profile? So that the PC will have time to change the valid IP address before downloading/uploading the user profile. Thank you in advance.

    - My email address appears through search engine Although this may not be an appropriate forum for my question/concern, I am pleading for someone's suggestion or help to resolve my dilemma. Back in 2002 when I was a novice to on-line newsgroups, I posted several questions on the MS Newsgroup forum showing my actual email address. Several weeks ago I googled my email address and to my surprise it appeared several times on the following site. http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/focus-ms/ I am not familiar with that site but it appears to contain both active and archived newsgroups. Since about 2003 it appears that the email addresses are being encrypted (if thats the correct term?) to possibly prevent mining of addresses. However, prior to that time the posters' actual email address appeared, including mine. There could possibly be thousands of actual email addresses appearing on the site which are being mined and used to spam unsuspecting victims, of which I may be one. I have sent the web site several emails in recent weeks requesting that my postings and email address be removed from the site, however, it has only been removed in one instance and still appears in two other instances. Recent emails to the site requesting further deletions have gone unanswered and my postings and address still appear for the world to see. Can anyone advise how I can get this matter attended to. Sorry for the long post. Thanks. Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89524

Windows saved user's xxxxx registry while an application or service was still using the registry. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed.

This is often caused by services running as user account, try configuring the services to run in either LocalService or NetworkService account.

    - Beautiful women, aged clones, and Ultimate Fighting Championship Friend, I'm always looking for good and intelligent individuals like you to visit my website, www.ChezBrandon.com , and it has pictures of beautiful women, information about aged clones, and a link to Ultimate Fighting Championship, a very good show. My name is Brandon, and I'm in my 20s, am a college student, and as lie detectors, both conventional and unconventional would show, I've never been sexually penetrated. Moreover, I could be shown pictures of X, Y, and Z, and it would show that I'm only sexually attracted to women. The Murders of Our Leaders in Government were Stopped. I, Brandon, can take lie detector and psychological tests, and I can go before a panel of truth detecting experts. I tell the truth. A mini-psychological test: 8 times 2 = 16, the world is round, not flat, and the year is 2006. Feel free to call me, my cellphone number is 503.740.0272 (United States based) and feel free to utilize a GK-1 voice truth detecting device too: >From Congressmen Bill Frist to John Kerry to Dennis Hastert to Hillary Clinton to John Warner to Ron Wyden to Gordon Smith to John McCain to Joseph Lieberman to Nancy Pelosi to Diane Feinstein to Ted Kennedy to anyone else who happened to be in the Congressional chambers during either a joint session of Congress or a State of the Union address from Masons to Skull and Bones members to Secret Service agents to pages to visitors to other good individuals, they all would have been murdered, all of their accomplishments stripped away, their earned wealth stripped away, their homes stripped away, their family and friends stripped away. Moreover, someone else would have been sleeping with their spouses. Elements of the Mossad, who wanted to bathe in the blood of our Congressmen as well as bathe in the blood of leaders around the world, and when they seized power they would, as confirmed by psychic vision and confirmed auditorially, "he's right; he's psychic," would outlaw most if not all organizations, including the Masons, and these elements as Victor Ostrovsky writes about in his #1 New York Times bestseller By Way of Deception are out of control, notoriously lie, and have a disregard for life -- I was able, thank God, to thwart the conquest of the USA and the world, and was able to thwart the murder of United States and world leaders, via a psychic vision of Senator John Warner and other Congressmen being choked to death by gas, which was confirmed auditorially from both ears, such as "He saved Congress," who they were going to kill "all of them,""how did he know that?" and "he's psychic" -- murdered my biological Aunt Gloria Atkinson, whom I loved very much, as she did of me, and there is a tribute to her on my website. Please, friend, be sure to barricade your bedroom door at night. I'm not afraid of aged clones or the attempted chopping off of my appendages (elements of the Mossad talked about chopping off my right middle finger and right ear, and 10 out of 10 of my toes, like my right middle finger have unique steeple designs). I'm not afraid of anything. I'll defend myself to the best of my ability, and I commit my life to saving the lives of men, women, and children and strengthening good organizations. I will always remember my biological Aunt Gloria Atkinson. Sincerely, Brandon Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89488

The computer has been running rather slowly since then, and so I opened up Windows Task manager recently. It showed the Processes menu, and didn't show the rest of the menu. All I could look at were the changing graphs of the computer's usage of space. When I examined these graphs, they showed the CPU usage going from 65-100% usage. I've tried many things to look at the rest of the menu of it, but to no avail. So, any suggestions as to what to do to find out what is causing this much space to be used on the computer?

    - Google Powered Search Engine for Security/eSecurity Community I am building a Search Engine exclusively for the Security and eSecurity Community using Google's Coop program. I would like to NOT include any vendor sites, but just index sites that are vendor neutral. Would this is be a good strategy or not? The URL for the search engine is http://www.xml-dev.com Here are my current guidelines for site inclusion 1) I will NOT include any vendor site (e.g. Cisco, Microsoft, Bluecoat etc) 2) I will check the Netcraft ranking for each suggested URL that I receive. The site has to rank in <50K to be included in the index. (e.g. http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.securityfocus.com) 3) I will also make sure that the site doesn't excessive amount of Ads. For e.g. I will not include http://www.securitynewsportal.com/index.shtml As far the inclusion of vendor sites in concerned, I think if one is searching for some specific information (e.g. install guide) for a particular product they should probably go to the vendor website or google it. However if you researching about a technology, lets says IDS, you really don't need to see the vendor sites. They will, off course, say that their product is the best in the world. For e.g. search for "Full Disk Encryption" on Google, and you will see that DriveCrypt and WinMagic show up in the first 3 results. And they both claim to be "best in the world" :) And I have tried both, and they are not the best (to say the least)! ;-) Instead I would like to see what other sites are saying about these products or "full disk encryption" in general Note: I am looking for few other people to help me filtering out the website, and updating the index. Please let me know if anyone is interested. As always please keep sending your favorite URLs. I have tons of URLs in my email box, and I will catch up with them (and reply to the sender) over the weekend :) Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89475

    - EMAIL Scanning Error/Turned Off in Norton Internet Security (NIS) The following problem seemed to start about 3 weeks ago. The Anti Virus status window in NIS shows the status of email scanning as ERROR. It is turned off with no way to turn it back on. Uninstalling and reinstalling have not helped. A lengthy discussion with Norton tech support, not surprisingly, was useless as well. I just cleaned my Registry (WIN 2000), but that too made no difference either. The only other security product I am running is SPYWARE DOCTOR, but uninstalling that did not help either. I am now suspecting a conflict someplace, or perhaps even some as yet unidentified malware. Any ideas of a possible cause, or an approach I can take? Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89462

    - Found an unknown keylogger/ spyware named "MrvGINA.dll" Anyone heard of this? Found it while trying to correct my computer starting in "Administator" user mode, as opposed to my normal user profile. A log in window appears, which I believe is created by the spyware to try and phish passwords. When I tried to change the settings a warning stating "Windows Security and Fast User turned off. Uninstall program to correct. Finding MrvGINA.dll may help determine the responible program". MrvGINA.dll is in the sytem32 folder. Neither Spybot Search & Destroy nor Norton Internet Security have identified the file leading me to believe it is a new spyware/malware. Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89453

    - Parental Internet-access Control Software Title says it - any advice on which products are good? A free one would be ideal if it works reasonably well. Basic requirements are to lock-down which websites three children can visit. or at least to reduce the chances of them accidentally landing on disturbing porn material. Must work with Firefox. (or Opera/NS/Mozilla would be OK, but not IE for security reasons) Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89447

    - IE7 final and SpySweeper Ver 5.2.3 build 2120 There are numerous incompatibilities with the latest version of SpySweeper and Internet Explorer 7.0 final. These incompatibilities have finally forced me to uninstall the latest version and go back to SpySweeper Ver 5.0.7 build 1608. Here is a list of the most troublesome interactions: 1. Opening a second tab in IE7 takes about 5-7 seconds just for the tab to appear. I had previously said 3-5 seconds but it got worse. 2. After the 2nd tab opens it takes about another 5 seconds for "anything" to even begin to appear in the new tab. 3. When holding the ctrl key and clicking on a link, in most cases, the desired link would appear in the original tab. 4. If I had multiple tabs open, and I wanted to close the active tab, I would press CTRL & W, which should close the active tab only. Many times when I did this Internet Explorer would close down. 5. Outlook Express would take ages to open and make a connection to my ISP's mail server. 6. Many other programs just seemed to be taking a lot longer to initialize. All of these problems have gone away after going back to SpySweeper Ver 5.0.7 build 1608. The 2nd (and additional) tabs open instantaneously. The web information begins to immediately paint the page. CTRL & click on web links open a new tab every single time. CTRL & W closes the active tab "every single time". Internet Explorer 7.0 final has stopped crashing. I think I will wait until the next SpySweeper program update until I try again. The present version just has too many problems! BTW, Firefox has not been affected with the SpySweeper update. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

    - e-mail problems When I try to sign in to my hotmail account a window opens that informs me that I am about to view pages over a secure connection as I click on sign in to open my account another window opens informing me this time that I am about to leave a secure internet connection it will be possible for others to view information you send, if I do not wish to continue I can not access my messages. I am extremely concerned about this problem, I have been reading and looking for reasons and solutions on windows newsgroups but found nothing, I am almost computer illiterate and I am afraid that by having tried to solve the problem without the right knowledge I have check and uncheked, enable and disable and made a right mess out of my PC . I had enabled automatic updates but I feel that this problem started after I installed SP2, I have now uninstalled SP2 but the problem has not gone away, my homepage has also been changed to MSM Homepage and when I try to change it again it always reverts back to MSMHomepage, is it possible that my PC has been hijacked? Please, please help, thanks a million. Tag: ? ccApp Tag: 89442

Have you tried a www.google.com search first? It suggests this is likely
part of Norton Antivirus.

Usually associated with Symantec/Norton anti virus. Which one do YOU have installed ?

ccApp is part of Norton antivirus and is in charge of the auto protect
feature within the product , it makes sure no virus's / other risks are
running on the system and that all incommin and outgoing mail is scanned.
There are two ways to fix this issue

try this one first:

Run live update to see if any patches fixes it

if this doesnt work

go in to the options for the program and untick the option ' scan floppy
drive A; on shutdown'.

restart and the problem should be fixed

Remember to always remove floppy disks before starting the pc as the program
will no longer check the floppy drive for boot viruses!
