    - Good intentions but ultimately ineffective? Calif. Bill Requires 'Spyware' Notice May 18, 10:16 PM (ET) SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Consumers would have to be told before information-reporting "spyware" was added to their computers if legislation approved Tuesday by the California Senate becomes law. The measure by Sen. Kevin Murray, a Democrat, was sent to the Assembly by a 36-2 vote. Murray said consumers can unknowingly add the spyware to their computer systems when they buy software. "These programs track what Web sites you visit, may steal your passwords, access your financial information, log your keystrokes, bombard you with pop-ups, track your purchases and remotely report your activity and personal information to a third party," Murray said. Republican Sen. Jim Battin said the spyware problem needed to be addressed on a national level, but action by California lawmakers would be a "good start." ___________________________________________________________ Good intentions but ultimately ineffective, right? How does this put an end to the really bad malware out there, like hijack browsers, keyloggers, etc.? A good start indeed, but I compare this to only putting a Band-Aid on a severe bullet wound.

UNIGROUP'S MAY 2004 GENERAL MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT ------------------------------------------------ When: THURSDAY, May 20th, 2004 (3rd Thursday) Where: <<<< OUR NEW MEETING LOCATION >>>> Alliance for Downtown NY Conference Facility 104 Washington Street Downtown, New York City ** RSVP Will No Longer Be Required for Entry! ** Time: 6:15 PM - 6:25 PM Registration 6:25 PM - 6:45 PM Ask the Wizard, Questions, Answers and Current Events 6:45 PM - 7:00 PM Unigroup Business and Announcements 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM Main Presentation -------------------------------------------------- Topic: MIT KERBEROS 5: Introduction to Authentication and Cross-platform Interoperability -------------------------------------------------- Speaker: Jeff Altman, President, Secure Endpoints Inc. <http://www.secure-endpoints.com> INTRODUCTIONS: -------------- Kerberos provides secure login facilities for Unix, Linux and Windows. Our speaker for this month's Kerberos meeting (and the planned OpenAFS meeting) will be Jeff Altman. Unigroup members will remember that Jeff is a past Unigroup speaker (of Kermit95 and Telnet Security Working Group fame). Jeff has been working with a series of well known security related projects for many years. Unigroup has the following meetings planned over the next few months: - Solaris 10 Launch Event - Field Trip to Sun Microsystems - OpenAFS - Jeff Altman (followup presentation) - Zope / Web Development - Zope Corporation ................................................................. MIT Kerberos Version 5 is the basis for the Kerberos distributed with Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Red Hat Linux, Debian, MacOS X, OpenVMS, and just about every other Kerberos distribution other than the Heimdal distribution and the implementation built into Microsoft Windows 2000 and subsequent releases. MIT is directly responsible for three Kerberos products: - MIT Kerberos 5 for Unix/Linux - MIT Kerberos for Macintosh which is bundled with MacOS X - MIT Kerberos for Windows The current releases of MIT Kerberos 5 for Unix/Linux (1.3.3) and KfW (2.6.1) are available from the MIT Kerberos web site: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/ The MIT Kerberos 5 release 1.3.3 release fixes bugs and adds one major feature: - Support for AES in GSSAPI has been implemented. This corresponds to the in-progress work in the IETF (CFX). MIT Kerberos for Windows 2.6 release includes krb5 release 1.3.3 and provides enhanced integration with the Microsoft Windows Kerberos implementation as well as OpenAFS for Windows. In addition to developing the leading open source implementation of Kerberos, the MIT Kerberos Development Group contributes more than half of the document authors within the IETF Kerberos Working Group. MIT's participation has been crucial to ensuring that all of the major implementations of Kerberos (including Microsoft's) adhere to the published standards to facilitate interoperability. This talk will provide an introduction to the Kerberos 5 authentication protocol; a detailed overview of the MIT Kerberos implementation; a discussion of interoperability concerns which developers and administrators face when implementing and deploying a multi-platform Kerberos infrastructure; and some demonstrations utilizing the GSS on Linux, Windows, and Java. Note: If your organization would be interested in providing a grant to further Kerberos development at MIT. Please contact Marshall Vale, Team Leader, of The MIT Kerberos Team, at <krbcore@mit.edu>. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: --------------------- While RSVPs will _NOT_ be required for this location, please RSVP if you know you are attending, or if there is a high probability that you will be attending.

Bill flew in from Texas for this meeting and presented a broad history of AIX, past, present and future. Unigroup members were briefed on various IBM proprietary initiatives with AIX, which are not generally known to the public. We also learned about specific areas where IBM is focusing future AIX development, and various features in AIX which will support the next generation of IBM Unix/Linux systems. We also discussed the ways in which multiple instances of AIX and Linux can co-exist together on a single hardware system. We would also like to thank Dan Dantzic of the IBM Linux Center of Competence, for hosting our Field trip to IBM, and Jim Gleason of the IBM Linux Cluster Group (and NYLUG), for finding us this Field Trip meeting location at IBM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- 4.

    - Norton AntiVirus Rescue Disk Won't Scan Error 35 General protection fault in NAVDX.OVL When running NAVDX.EXE, it quits the scan and gives the above error message whether it's run from my booted DOS Rescue disk or from the Norton AntiVirus folder on drive C in a DOS Prompt window. However, when run from Windows by right clicking a folder in the Windows Explorer tree and selecting the option to "Scan with Norton AntiVirus" or simply running a scan from the AntiVirus user interface, it runs ok and does the scan without producing an Error 35 message. But, don't they use the same Norton AntiVirus folder NAVDX files as used when running from a DOS Prompt window? If so, why the different results? I'm running Norton SystemWorks 2003 in Windows'ME and have been doing Live Updates, testing my Rescue disk, and running system scans weekly now for many months without a problem until this past week-end.

    - Internet security To ensure privacy on the PC, at home, I can, if I so choose, add passwords and encryption but, if there is someone with me, he can see what I see, as there are no magic spectacles to reveal the contents only to me once the door is opened. So, it seems that such devices are of no use when working in protected areas whilst on the net, since the hacker who circumvents my firewall presumably also can see what I see. Is the only security a firewall and a dynamic IP with plenty of logging off to change it? One other security question. I recently read of a registry hack to prevent Windows storing passwords but, assuming it works, how can a password be recognised unless it is stored and, since there must be a record somewhere in the system, doesn't the expert hacker have the knowledge and tools to find it?

    - Spyware [Interstitial Ad Delivery by 180 Search Delivery] I have an obnoxious program called "Interstitial Ad Delivery by 180 Search Delivery" that appears to be responsible for causing pop-up advertisements when I use Internet Explorer. Another program called "PAD Lookups by 180 Search Assistant" also appears to be tied into the problem. When I try to delete the program, I am told I have to be connected to the internet. I click OK and it takes me to a site requiring me to download and use a "removal" program. I am not willing to get stung twice. Any one know of an easy way to remove this adware?

    - Computer shutting down For the past few months, I've been having a problem with my computer. My floppy drive will act like it's "reading" a disk, but there is no disk in the drive. Then the computer shuts completely down. It doesn't matter if I am online or not. Is this a security problem? I have run (and always have ran) Norton Internet Security and Anti- Virus. Could it be a bad drive? Please help!!! Tag: outlook express Tag: 53038

    - Netsky firus on Mail server Hi All My Eoo.log is continuously infected with the netsky virus. I have a dedicated Exchange 2000 server runing on W2k server platform with the latest service packs for each installed. I have Symatec antivirus corporated edition and Antivus /filtering for Exchange 2000 (up-to-date virus definitions) install to protect us against virus attacks, so far it has been working very well until the 14 May 2004. Our server is a strictly internal mail server. In order to send and receive mail outside the LAN our outlook 2000 clients are configured to pull mail from a pop3 and smtp server hosted by our ISP this mail is then stored on our mail server; about 30 users have this setup whilst others can only send and receive on the LAN. These 30 users have been pulling emails from the External server that are infected with the netsky virus. When our internal Mail server does a realtime virus scans it quarantines the EOO.LOG file from the MDBDATA folder and no one can access their mailbox. Is there some way I can protect this server from this happening all the time, and this file from not being quarantine? because when you perform a comprehensive removal of the virus it is not found. Thank you in advance for your help Best regard Sam Tag: outlook express Tag: 53034

    - Norton Antivirus I do not know if this is a windows problem, but I cannot update my Norton Antivirus software. The Symantec web site is the only web site that I get the "page cannot be displayed" when I try to download the update. I can access the site on other computers so I know it is not the web site. My temp files have been deleted, my firewall is disabled. Nothing I do allows that web site to function properly. Any ideas? I am able to surf everywhere else. ???? Tag: outlook express Tag: 53030

    - VirtuMonde Recently upgraded from Adsubtract 2.xx to AdSubtract Pro 3.04. SpySubtract was also acquired and installed. (Intermute) The day of installing these shortly afterwards ran Norton CleanSweep (Fast and Safe choice) which stated my browser (IE6.0) was open in regards to flushing internet cache etc. Found IExplorer was open per CTRL-ALT-DEL. (Win98SE) No IE window was open and visible on the desktop display. Closed IExplorer per CTRL-ALT-DEL. Rebooted. No open IExplorer. Shutdown a few hours later Following day, somewhere along the line, same thing happened. Removed IE same way from memory, rebooted, and all remained okay. Following morning, scanned with PestPatrol. Found VirtuMonde. One line entry in registry. Deleted. Line in registry was: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\appid\{0dc5cd7c-f653-4417-aa43-d457be3a9622} per PestPatrol. No other VirtuMonde indications were found.. 2 days later, no more instances of open IExplorer, with no IE window open. I seldom browse except via Google to get info. Two hardware firewalls, and ZA Pro. NAV2002. Adsubtract Pro, Spysubtract, PestPatrol each with current defintions/updates. Following run and check memory: NAV, AdSubtract, SpySubtract, PestPatrol. Connect to internet via cable modem. Hardware firewalls consist of a router and a dedicated PC as NAT firewall in series. This PC and another PC connect to the NAT Firewall via hub. The other PC is dedicated video rendering, seldom on. Was not on when problem ensued. All applicable 98SE security updates installed. Cookies, cache, history cleaned daily after any browsing. Questions: Is there simply a coincidence between the software installation noted above and VirtuMonde? Why did PestPatrol allow the VirtuMonde entry into the registry to begin with? It runs in memory and checks memory. Why did SpySubtract not locate VirtuMonde? What EXACTLY is VirtuMonde? I've seen various including PestPatrol's writeup. Not clear. Layman's terms please. Know that it's simply a confidentiality bug, not a virus, but that's all I understand. Panda has best writeup, PestPatrol is more throrough in how to manually delete same. How can IExplorer be open with no open IE window on the desktop display? Have thrown alot of money and time towards hardware and software to prevent outside intervention on my PC. What can I do any further? Standalone? Tag: outlook express Tag: 52994

    - CWS.SEARCHX CoolWebSearch won't go away! Hello, I've tried everything to get rid of cws.searchx including running cwshredder, search and destroy, adaware, and hijack this (and deleting appropriate entries); deleting regsitry entries; and every other thing you can think of, and the darn thing keeps coming back within 20 minutes of getting rid of it. I've tried running these programs in safe mode to no avail. I'm using all the updated versions of each program. Could someone give me some advice on what to do next? I really don't want to have to reinstall windows or anything drastic like that. I appreciate any help you guys can give me. Thanks Richard Tag: outlook express Tag: 52979

    - Win2k3 "Security Guide" templates applicable during 2k to 2k3 migration? Hello We have a mixed NT/2k domain, and are decomissioning our last NT DC to bring up a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. End result would be a 2000/2003 domain. I've been reading the "Windows Server 2003 Security Guide," and would like to implement those templates. Must all Domain Controllers be Windows 2003 in order for the templates to be applied If a server is 2k and the 2k3 templates are issued to the OU, as i understand, only 2k settings will apply and 2k3 settings would be ignored by the 2k machine, correct Thank you very much Edgard Tag: outlook express Tag: 52966

    - spybot I've read many times on the forum, the accolades of spybot search and destroy. I did install it last night after Norton caught adware on my pc but could not delete it. The parasite is Adware.Bitnet. Spybot did not get rid of it either. After I installed Spybot, I ran another Norton scan and the infected files were still there. Does anyone have any suggestions. I then uninstalled Spybot, because it kept running a scan each time I logged onto xp. I downloaded it from the tucows site. Is this correct one? Thank you. Tag: outlook express Tag: 52952

    - Use any shared wireless NIC to open backdoor to any network. This is an eye opener! The following scenario shows how a wireless NIC on an XP client can be configured to communicate to any other wireless NIC in near proximity. I didn't realize that a wireless NIC could be used as an access point for a malicious user, you don't even need an access point. How can I make sure that this can't happening on my network via active directory http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/columns/bowman/02april08.as Tag: outlook express Tag: 52951
