    - Program Signing Programming questions. Is there a way to insert some information into an EXE file which was signed by SignTool without affecting the file signature? I want to add a track id to the EXE, and while running the EXE it will use this Track ID to notify me of the distribution of this EXE. Can anyone has an Idea how this can be achived? without creating new packages or other stuff, just insert info into some free unsigned structures in the EXE? Thanks in advance, Joe Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97830

    - Virus - Notepad exits by itself - C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpackf.exe My PC is infected with a virus. It is popping up with "Your system is probably infected with latest version of Spyware.cyberlog.X. When I checked with Process explorer; it showed that one process is running "C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpackf.exe" which has written many entries in Regedit. I have killed the process and deleted all the entries in registry editor, I could find. Strange thing is when I search on C:\WINDOWS\system32\ for the file advpackf.exe even after unhiding all the files. It fails to show up, however if I run the C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpackf.exe from the Run menu, it again starts all the popups and tries to change the start up page of browser. After this virus, I am unable to start Notepad.exe, after starting Notepad immediately exits by itself. Please advice. -- SS Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97827

    - IPSec Monitor's Main Mode window Hello: I have a WinXP client accessing a Win2k3 server. All latest updates and service pack applied. IPSec policy is assigned to both the client and the server. No problem is getting secured connection between the peers. Once the connection is established, I open up the IPSec Monitor, go to Main Mode-->Security Association and select the Propertes of the secured session. Under the field Policy Name, it shows "73 (Default)." I have seen this number changing. The IPSec Policy that I have assigned has a different name which uses "Request Security" setting under "Filter Action" tab inside the "Properties" of IPSec policy. Wondering from where this number information coming from? Is it possible to change that Policy Name changed to the real name of the Policy that is showing up under "IP Security Policies on Local Computer?" Your quick response on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Victor Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97820

    - Last accessed date on file properties This is my first post so here goes. Under the properties of "local" files, the last access date is showing up with today's date and time when they are known not to have been open today. Is the event of checking the properties on files considered accessing the files? Microsoft's website indicates that the date and time is only changed with the act of opening the files. Could this bea sign of a security breach? I have been able to replicate this on many machines running xp sp2. Any help would be appreciated Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97818

    - Auditing / File Security Can anyone tell if it is possible (and if yes how?) to log or audit file access. This is a large domain running 2003 AD with a mix of NT / 2000 servers. The simple and basic scenario is as an example HR is a group all with access to Folder X. Within Folder X there are some basic spreadsheets that all these users can access. One of these users has either accidentally or intentionally deleted one of these files. Retreiving the file from tape took all of 3 minutes, but the powers that be would like to know which user it was that deleted it. I have looked through the event viewer security logs and cannot seem to find any reference to that file being accessed or deleted. Is there an auditing feature on the DC that will enable me to check for such things? If ther eis which is it, and what would it look like so I can recognize it in the event viewer. I mean would the event specifically name the file that was deleted? USER A deleted FILE X? Any pointers tips or methods others use would be great. It seems locking stuff down so that a small number of users are the only ones with access to it, isn't enough these days. HELP! :) Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97799

    - PKI - Manual Enroll - Auto Renewal - Possible? How do you configure a certificate template for Manual enrolment and Auto renewal? For example: I have a web server called â??WINSERVER1â??. It hosts a website called â??coolwebsite.localâ?? I request an SSL from the internal CA called coolwebsite.local. I want that certificate to automatically renew when it expires. Obviously this has to be a manual enrolment as the server would not know how to request some random website name in a certificate. This is what I have configured: I have an AD Integrated Enterprise issuing CA. A version 2 certificate template has been created for computer authentication. Template settings are as follows: Subject Name Tab -Supply in the request (followed by a description. The sentence of interest is â??Autoenrollment is not allowed if you choose this option) Issuance Requirements Tab -Require the following for enrolment: CA certificate manager approval -Require the following for reenrolment: Valid existing certificate Security Tab -AD group allowing Read Enroll and Autoenroll A server is added to the AD group that was configured on the Template permissions tab. A GPO has been created allowing the server to autoenroll and renew. A certificate was requested via the web interface http://caname/certsrv using this template and approved via the Certificate Authorities mmc. The server then had a certificate with a validity of 1 year. My expectation was that it would auto renew the certificate when it was due to expire â?? using the GPO, Template security, and â??Valid existing certificateâ?? issuance requirement. This has not happened. Have I configured something incorrectly? Or Is it not possible to have manually enrolled and automatically renewed? Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97790

Yesterday the "Virtual PC 2007 Service Pack 1" was published on the Microsoft Download Center. The SETUP.EXE (32 bit) available for download there contains but an outdated and vulnerable MSXML6 (msxml6-KB927977-enu-x86.exe to be precise; notice the ENU, even in the GERMAN SETUP.EXE). This MSXML6 gets installed (in case no newer MSXML6 is already present on the target system) WITHOUT ANY notice even before the first MSI dialog of VPC is displayed, i.e. the users system is altered even if s/he choses to abort the installation (or the installation aborts itself, as is the case on Windows 2000).

As I understand it, the secret key for the encryption is "protected" using the password of the account who originally encrypted the files (the encryption key is itself encrypted with the user's password). When the DB service is created, the user enters the DB password so that the serrvice can start and can decrypt its files, without the user having to enter the password every time the machine is rebooted. That DB password MUST be stored somewhere on the hard drive, otherwise the encryption key could not be recovered and the files would be unreadable. Now I understand that if you removed the hard drive from the original computer and placed it in a new computer as a secondary drive, if the new computer is also running Windows, you will not be able to recover the DB password and so will not be able to read the DB encrypted files. But, support you placed that drive in a Linux machine. Could you not find the DB password (it MUST be some place on the drive), and with that, decrypt the DB encryption key and get access to the encrypted files? Where is the flaw in my logic?

    - Patches installing during shutdown I've had a couple times when I tried to shut down but Windows said it had to install updates and then shutdown. Which it did okay. I'm confused what the setup has to do with this. If you have Automatic Updates on, it could be fully automatic or it could be "Notify but don't install right away." Do these two settings have to do with whether or not it will install during shutdown? If it is fully automatic, you can also set a time, and I think the time selected can cause Windows to update during shutdown. Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97655

    - Existing untrusted Root CA I have a Win2003 AD domain with an untrusted root CA (it is installed on a DC) that I would like to remove. I have already built a new offline root CA and online enterprise issuing CA in this domain. My DCs and ISA servers (same machines) are not getting the domain controller certificates or ISA certificates. I believe this is because of the existing untrusted certificate already assigned to the computer account in AD but I'm not positive. Both DCs (again ISA as well) are members of the Cert Publishers security group. Do I need to remove the existing CA to get the domain controller certificate from the new issuing CA to install correctly? If so, what are the proper steps in removing the CA? There is only one certificate that is still in use for this CA and it is for a test webserver. Thanks for your help! Randy Smith Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97653

    - Creating Site Server Signing Certificate Template Windows 2008 Iâ??m trying to create a certificate by following directions from here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694035.aspx#BKMK_siteserver Creating and Issuing the Site Server Signing Certificate Template on the Certification Authority On #15, I ran into problem, my server is standard edition; I did an upgrade to enterprise over standard (without reinstalling OS) #15 In the Enable Certificate Templates dialog box, select the new template you have just created, ConfigMgr Site Server Signing Certificate, and then click OK. I donâ??t see the certificate template that I just created even after upgrading to enterprise and redoing the template. Any ideas/suggestions? Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97641

    - Any advantages by running a two-level certificate solution? Hi I'm looking into creating a two-level certificate hierarchy and I'm just wondering, are there any advantages by running this as opposed to a single-level CA certificate? A three-level hierarchy (which is what Microsoft docs seem to advocate) is an overkill for my intended use of a CA. I want to set up a CA solution that's as secure as possible without using HW based crypto units or a three-level CA hierarchy. That's why I am wondering if a two-level CA hierarchy will do the job. All my issuing CA's will be issuing the same type of certificates. If the certificate of the issuing certificate CA is compromised, do I need to rebuild the entire hierarchy? Any best-practices out there for a two-level CA solution? Other things I should be aware of? Thanks, L. Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97637

    - Password complexity Hello: I have an enterprise with multiple domains. The domains have Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. The Windows servers have software applications running as services. Most services have a local account and a few services have a domain account. I have a project to strengthen passwords. My goal is to implement a password complexity policy on the local and domain accounts. Is there a third-party product that can do this task?

    - Bypassing domain and OU GPO settings using the Security Configuration and Analysis MMC Gurus, This is a re-post of a message sent solely to the group_policy NG. I'm copying a wider audience here to engage some discussions amongst you IT Security Managers/security consultants out there. Running Windows Server 2003 SP2 in a single Active Directory domain (Lab environment). I am experimenting with the Group Policy Security database, secedit.sdb If you run the Setup Security INF in the Security Configuration and Analysis Snapin against this database, you will bring your system back Windows security default settings and it will remain that way until the next Group Policy Refresh interval. You must be an admin on the machine to do this. My question is, isn't this a security risk in it's own right, bypassing domain and OU GPO settings? A respondent in the Group Policy newsgroup (Marcin) stated that if my sole goal is to prevent use of Security Configuration and Analysis, I have ability to restrict access to arbitrarily selected snap-ins via GPO. In addition I could restrict ability to execute Secedit (which one can do by following http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323525). While I agree this is a major technical challenge, has anyone else in these other NGs I've copied on this message ever worried about this? Or should I just let it pass? -- Spin Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97629

    - How to monitor privileged user access? Hi all. Please excuse me if this issue has been covered before, I searched but couldn't find any substantial answer. I have 10-15 privileged users accessing my network from outside (through FW, via VPN). They access the network and perform various tasks such as maintaining my Exchange servers and so on. 2 weeks ago I had issues with some AD objects that have been deleted from the AD. The user responsible for AD management claimed he did not do it, and this has brought up my question: How would you suggest that I monitor these users' actions? I have around 100 servers and I would like to know what they did. Thanks, Jim Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97624

    - DNS and DSL modem I normally use a Speedtouch 585 DSL modem/router. Sometimes, I connect to another modem when I'm on the road. I think it's a Linksys (not sure if it matters). When connecting to this other modem, I have to enable a rule that allows UDP connections from an ISP IP (port 53) to services.exe. According to http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.inetserver.iis.security/browse_frm/thread/276127f9eb548070/e4ba0568c9fdaaff these are DNS responses (confirmed by ipconfig /all). However, the DNS servers are normally my Speedtouch 585 rather than an ISP IP. Is this normally a configurable modem setting? Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97619

    - Windows Firewall and Norton 360 both report that they are turned o iIn Vista, SP1, Windows Security Center, under the Firewall tab, it reports that both Windows Firewall and Norton 360 are "on". I'm not aware that there is any Norton software installed on this machine. The Norton Removal program won't run, claiming the directory name is invalid. The main higher-level symptom I experience is that it is not possible to run Remote Desktop; the connection can't be established, which usually is a firewall problem. I'm connected directly to the cable modem, no router in between. Got any ideas? Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97616

    - certificate Services will not startup on specified port Hello All, I hope you can help: I keep seeing errors when I setup a Enterprise CA. The Certsvc request is configured in component services to utilize port 2000 (lets say), and rpc ports are restricted to a range of ports. (usually 100 ports are allocated). However, The CA process is usually found on a port in the rpc range instead of being on the port specifically allocated to it (2000). This causes Autoenrollment of certificates to not occur unless i reset the configuration in component services to default. Upon further investigation, i found that the DHCP server service loves to grab the 2000 port, and this then forces forces the CA service to take a port within the rpc range. The question becomes: Can I force the CA to always grab port 2000 before anything else takes it? thanks in advance. Tag: need firewall for windows 98se Tag: 97613

    - Vulnerable, Outdated, Dangerous DLLS Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of dlls that are considered dangerous, outdated, and vulnerable? As an alternative, are there online (or installable) software routines which look for such dlls and warn about their presence? I am trying to do a quick scan to satisfy myself that a storage disk which contains an outdated "Program Files" folder does not have vulnerable dlls buried in one of the "Common" folders endemic to Windows which clearly save space but make such dlls much harder to find.

I've heard that Jetico will work on Win98. Or try an older version of Sygate
or ZoneAlarm. Places to find old versions of programs:
