    - Shares, Named Pipes, and Registry for Anonymous Remote Access I have a trojan I am fighting that replicates by establishing a null connection to IPC$ on any member server that has File & Printer Sharing enabled. It then repeatedly tries to invoke one of several buffer overloads in order to execute code in the SYSTEM context of the targeted machine. I would like to know how can I safely prevent null connections on IPC$. I have all five of the enable/disable settings in GPO security set that forbid anonymous access. Setting those to forbid anonymous is NOT preventing the trojan from successfully establishing the null connection. I can see this quite clearly by following its progress in a sniffer on the attacking machine, and then when the IPC$ connection is established, on the Windows 2003 DC I quite clearly get an eventviewer message that shows ANONYMOUS CONNECTION, and the IP of the eventviewer message matches the attacker's IP. Group Policy for Windows XP/2003 contains the following Security Settings (these names are approximate): Named Pipes that can be accessed anonymously Remote access registry paths Remote access registry paths and subpaths Shares that can be accessed anonymously I have the following questions regarding the above: 1) For a domain controller, is it required that any of these be enabled, and what is the minimum subset of entities that must be exposed? 2) For a member server, same question 3) For Windows 2000 DCs, are most of these just enabled by default and you cannot change the specific settings? 4) When you deselect the checkbox on this group policy, and simply fail to define any entities, then what are the defaults that will be in effect? When I ran RSOP.MSC on one Windows 2003 DC, it had none of these defined even through its local policy and GPO did not select checkboxes for any of these. If the lack of any settings in RSOP.MSC means that nothing is being allowed for anonymous access, then would I get the same result by enabling the checkbox, and simply forcing the list of each GPO setting above to be empty? I'm not clear on what steps if any I should take here to absolutely be sure that there are no anonymous connections allowed to the member server / DC. Any insights on this are appreciated. -- Will Tag: error message Tag: 91608

    - IE7 Critical Update I just went to Critical Update page tonight and expected to see the usual "IE 7 Critical Update" download. I have been putting off downloading IE 7 for a while as I am doing too many other things. However, tonight I 'DO NOT' see the "IE 7 Critical Downlaod" listed any longer. Would anyone know why not?

    - Password Changes remotely thru VPN I have remote employees who connect to our network on a daily basis using VPN. All the workstations that they use are members of our domain. All users are domain users and authenicate against our DC's. We currently have a password policy that requires users to change their password every 90 days. I can always tell when that time frame comes up because at least half of my remote users call stating that they can't connect. Is it possible to prompt a user who is authenicating to the domain to be prompted that their password is going to expire or has expired. What is the best practice that others use to control this in regards to remote users. Thanks Tag: error message Tag: 91599

    - CERTSRV_DCOM_ACCESS Group missing - suggested KB fix not working 4 Dear all, Have just implemented a W2003 pki for our 3 domain forest, the issuing CA is a w2003 enterprise box, not a dc but installed as part of one of the child domains in the forest under an enterprise admins account. pkiview tells me everything is fine, and domain controllers are auto-enrolling just fine within the child domain hosting the CA, outside in the other child domains they aren't but thats an issue with Cert Publishers membership that i am confident i can resolve by changing the scope of the groups. The problem i have is referenced in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927066 but the fix does not work in our situation. The fix i am referring to is to run certutil -setreg SetupStatus -SETUP_DCOM_SECURITY_UPDATED_FLAG if the CERTSRV_DCOM_ACCESS group is missing from the users container in the ad. Which it is. Running this generates no errors, but does not create the group.... I feel i should also mention that our root domain within the forest was upgraded from w2000 to 2003, but due to an administrative oversight, the schema was updated to R2 before sp1 was applied to the schema master. Not sure if this is related. Essentially i need to have the group so i can add the relevant groups so my users are able to request certificates, at the moment only ent admins can, everyone else receives the following message The wizard cannot be started because of one or more of the following conditions: - There are no trusted certification authorities (CAs) available. - You do not have the permissions to request certificates from the available CAs. - The available CAs issue certificates for which you do not have permissions. Any ideas? Any advice welcomed! Best, Jim Bullock Tag: error message Tag: 91576

Most of this files are generated by MS Word, Excel. I tryed to audit those folders but the information is not helping me too much. I would like to know the follwing: - if the files are copied from server to local station and from this to USB flash memory , flopy disk or send by email and so on. - when the user is opening, changing, deleting or closing a file.

    - Require Info on EAP extension development for windows mobile Hi, We are developing an EAP module for the Windows Mobile 5.0 as per the documentation provided at the MSDN site for the EAP extension development. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa363504.aspx We succeeded in writing the whole EAP module. The whole EAP authentication goes through well with the AAA server(RADIUS) with the extension dll we wrote and we finally receive the outer EAP success, sent as part of the Access-Accept from RADIUS, which indicates the EAP authentication has succeeded. Now as per the documentation in MSDN, we are supposed to pass the MPPE-Send key and MPPE-Recv Key from the RasEapMakeMessage function using the pUserAttributes member of the pEapOutput structure in the final step. These keys are supposed to be used in the EAPOL module in the 4way handshake for the WPA MSK derivation. But its not much clear on how the pUserAttributes is to be filled with these keys. We filled in the pUserAttributes pointer from what we can make out from the following MSDN link in the Remarks section at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa363518.aspx . and another section that appears in the EAP Host documentation for Windows Vista and XP on how MPPE keys are to be handled at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363636.aspx, which we think might also be relevant for the EAP extension development. But they don't seem to work. We tried a lot of combinations but nothing seems to work. When we sniffed/traced on Access Point's logs the supplicant doesn't seem to respond to the EAPOL key request at all as part of the 4 way handshake for the WPA key(MSK) generation. There isin't much help at the MSDN apart from the above. The following is the code piece on how we filled in the fields, can anyone check if the code and tell what is wrong with this and the correct way of doing it The excerpts from the code is as follows: typedef unsigned char u8; struct vsa { u8 attr_type; u8 length; u8 salt[2]; u8 lenofkey; u8 value[32]; u8 padding[15]; }; struct vsa mppe_send_key, mppe_recv_key; char *pos = NULL; // 1-MPPE-Send Key, 1-MPPE-Recv Key, 1-raatMinimum(for termination) lenofuserattr = 3 * sizeof(RAS_AUTH_ATTRIBUTE); pEapOutput->pUserAttributes = (RAS_AUTH_ATTRIBUTE *) malloc(lenofuserattr); pos = (u8 *) pEapOutput->pUserAttributes; memset(pos, 0, lenofuserattr); /* As per MSDN 52 for the sub-attribute AVP which would hold the MPPE keys 4 for Vendor-Id(311 for Microsoft) */ lenofvalue = 52 + 4; //MPPE-RECV-KEY pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[0].raaType = (raatVendorSpecific); //ras auth attribute type (VSA) pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[0].dwLength = (lenofvalue); pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[0].Value = (u8 *) malloc( sizeof(u8) * (lenofvalue) ); pos = (u8 *) pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[0].Value; memset(pos, 0, lenofvalue); vid= ntohl(311); memcpy(pos, &vid, 4); pos += 4; mppe_recv_key.attr_type = 17;//Type MPPE-Recv-Key mppe_recv_key.length = 52; //Total AVP length mppe_recv_key.salt[0] = 0x00; mppe_recv_key.salt[1] = 0x00; mppe_recv_key.lenofkey = 32; // Key length only // The second 32 bits of the buffer 'mppe_keys' is the MPPE-Recv key memcpy(mppe_recv_key.value, mppe_keys + 32, 32);//MPPE-Recv Key memset(mppe_recv_key.padding, 0, 15); //padding memcpy(pos, &mppe_recv_key, sizeof(struct vsa)); //sizeof(struct vsa) is equal to 52 //MPPE-SEND-KEY pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[1].raaType = (raatVendorSpecific); //ras auth attribute type (VSA) pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[1].dwLength = (lenofvalue);//4 - Vendor- Id pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[1].Value = (u8 *) malloc( sizeof(u8) * (lenofvalue)); pos = (u8 *) pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[1].Value; memset(pos, 0, lenofvalue); vid= ntohl(311); memcpy(pos, &vid, 4); pos += 4; mppe_send_key.attr_type = 16; //Type MPPE-Send-Key mppe_send_key.length = 52; //Total AVP length mppe_send_key.salt[0] = 0x00; mppe_send_key.salt[1] = 0x00; mppe_send_key.lenofkey = 32; // Key length only // The first 32 bits of the buffer 'mppe_keys' is the MPPE-Send key memcpy(mppe_send_key.value, mppe_keys, 32); //MPPE-Send-Key memset(mppe_send_key.padding, 0, 15); // Padding memcpy(pos, &mppe_send_key, 52); //Terminate with raat Minimum pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[2].raaType = (raatMinimum); pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[2].dwLength = (0); pEapOutput->pUserAttributes[2].Value = NULL; Thanks, Vijay Tag: error message Tag: 91564

    - A twist to "Logon to domain" Hi all, just scanned the postings and i'm a little suprised. There seams to be no way, to make a user logon/authenticate at a domain WITHOUT the user making his username AND PASSWORD available to the application initiating the logon/ authentication process.... Is that right? I'm refering to CredUIPromptForCredentials function which "publishes" the password of the application the invoking it. Any hint how to initiate the authentication process in a way which does not make the password readable to the invoking application? I really hope i'm just missing something, and it's not by design.... TIA br Radek Tag: error message Tag: 91555

    - Waking up from hibernate If my computer hibernates, I move the mouse, or if that doesn't wake it up, I hit the power button. The "User Screen" opens to allow me to chose which user (me or my wife). It also lists the number of programs running, AND also states that i have XXX new mail messages. I have to assume that this is refering to mail in hotmail and not my actual e-mail account. Either way, this must mean that Windows is going to Hotmail with out my permission and checking for mail even though I didn't request this. To me this is an invasion. If I want to check for mail on Hotmail, I'll log in and look. Microsoft has no business checking to see if I have mail. It was quite a while back that I opened the hotmail account, but I don't recall giving permission for this invasion. I am forced to sign up for hotmail to allow access to this site, where does Microsoft get off checking my mail when I'm away from my computer? Maybe I did agree somewhere, we all know how they hide things in their terms of service/ privacy policies, and you have to accept to allow you to continue, just like this page, accept or Poat is grayed out.

    - SSL & renegotiation in IE 6.0 SP1 Dear All, Is there any known problems in IE 6.0 SP1 in SSL session renegotiation scenarios initiated by a SSL aware server. I have been facing 'Page cannot be displayed' problems on submitting form data (POST method). Actually the SSL session renegotiation is initiated by the server on receiving the POST request. On checking with the ethereal dump, i found that the negotiation process fails at the last hurdle. That is, after the client sends its Change Cipher Spec and Send Finished (both in encrypted form, Change Cipher Spec with the previous key while the Send Finished with the newly negotiated key), the server is promptly sending its Change cipher spec and send finished in encrypted fashion using appropriate keys. The server also follows up the send finished with the response application data encrypted with the lastly negotiated key. However IE closes the connection on receiving the application data. I have manually checked the SSL packets recieved on the client side using ethereal and found all of them to be proper (even decrypted them with the appropriate keys(viz, server private key) and found the application data to be proper).. The whole problem is, this behaviour of IE is not consistent and happens once in a while. So for i have encountered this problem in the following machine configurations. 1) Win 2000 5.00.2195 Professional SP4 with IE 6.0.2800.1106 Update Versions:SP1,Q833989,Q823353 2) Win 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1 with IE 6.0.3790.1830 Update Versions: SP1; 3) Win 98 SE 4.10.2222A with IE 6.0.2600 Any pointers on this problem is appreciated.

    - smart cards - two readers Hi ! I'm trying to create enrollment station and designate one administrator as enrollment agent. A typical enrollment station is a computer that has two smart card readers attached - so I did it. I use one smart card to log on to the enrollment station. I open the Web page for certificate services (http://server/certsrv/) --> request certificate --> advanced request --> request for smart card. Then I use SmartCard User template, my CA, "Advanced Setec SetCSP", enrolment agent certificate. I choose user from AD and I put second (fresh-empty) smart card. When I try to enroll smart card I get error like !!! : "Too many smart cards the same type. Plug only one smart card for user and try again". I have GPO that is locking station when I remove my (administrator) smart card from the reader. When I change GPO I can remove card (also then I can login using username and password) and then I can enroll new cards on both my readers but that's not the point. I must use very restricted policy even for myself. If anyone know something about it - HELP, pleassssseee. Best Regards Dominik. -- Dominik WÄ?glarz domibik@o2.pl Tag: error message Tag: 91449

    - Searching aescipher.exe or similar command line tool with AES encryption I am searching for a command line (!) tool which en- and decrypts files and folders with the well known AES algorithm. I should be able either to pass the password as parameter resp. the program should ask the user for a password at the command line. Can someone recommend me such a tool for WinXP ? Again, it should not (only) be a GUI based encryption utility but a small, ressource friendly command line based tool. Marcus Tag: error message Tag: 91448

    - Service Accounts & Account Lock out Policy Hi, I want to enable an account lock-out policy to restrict up to 5 bad logons. I don't want to this policy to apply to the Service accounts used by the applications as it will lock-out the service account and will stop it. Is there is any way to accomplish this?? Note: the Policy I am trying to use is the Default Domain policy as I want the same policy to be applied to all users across the domain. Tag: error message Tag: 91446

    - error message "Unable to display the user selection dialog" Hi On a Windows Server 2003 I'm having the problem where if I go to the properties of any folder on any local drive and then go to the security tab, and then select "add" I get the following error message appear with only the option to select ok. "Unable to display the user selection dialog - (null)" The server has sp1 installed and is acting as a terminal server. The server is connected to a local small business server which is looking after the domain and active directory, etc. At first I thought the problem maybe active directory on the small business server but the sbs box is not having the same problem. All users can log in fine to the terminal server and there are no errors in the event log related to this. How I discovered this problem is that I need to change the permissions of a folder on the terminal server to get a program working but just by clicking on add I get the error and can't get any futher. I've found a few ms kb articles but nothing that end up being the same situation. I've also found alot of people posting on forms the exct same problem but they haven't been on servers and/or with a domain. Any help anyone can provide would be great thanks in advance Matt Tag: error message Tag: 91445

    - Freeware (on-access) antivirus scanner... Hi, i am working in a youth center (honorary) as a administrator and we are higly dependent on donations. Now we have seven pc's running with windows 2000 and open office, but the best is, that we have a internet connection. But as i said, we are dependent on donations and this is why we cant buy (expensive) antivirus software licenses.Who has experience with scanners that are free for commercial use? because we are considered "commercial", but in fact we are not. Thanks in advance... Best Regards Joe Tag: error message Tag: 91441

    - windowsupdate.microsoft.com doesn't offer KB913446 - MS06-007 I am trying to secure a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have been told to make sure KB913446 is installed. It is not currently installed on this machine. I went to windowsupdate.microsoft.com to get updates but was not offered KB913446. I can download it manually, but I expected that windows update would give it to me. Does anyone know if it has been superseded by something, or the reason it is not offered? KB913446 is also called MS06-007. Thank you very much. Tag: error message Tag: 91433

    - Password Storage in Windows 2003 hi there, I was hoping someone could clarify a few questions for me regarding Windows 2003, NTLMv2, and Kerberos. 1) What hash is used in Windows2003 Server to store passwords in the SAM file? > My understanding is that each password will be stored by default using both a LM Hash (for older compatibility) and using a MD5 hash for NTLMv2. Is this correct? 2) Win2003 uses Kerberos as the default authentication protocol. Now does using Kerberos store the password differently than the answer above? or is Kerberos only the authentication protocol and it uses the NTLMv2 password hash to authenticate a user before it kicks in to do authentication between servers. 3) Does Kerberos completely replace NTLMv2? Thank you Tag: error message Tag: 91429

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.
