    - X.509 Cert Template - Biometric Extensions sI'd like to modify an X.509 cert template to carry a private extension for various biometric hashes, and to supply the hash values in the enrollment request. I know how to create a new Application Policy (Extended Key Usage) easily enough with the Templates MMC, and assign it an OID. But how do I create data fields and capture information from the enrollment request? Thanks in advance for any assistance, -- Lynn Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77501

    - FTP and PGP With the earlier topic on "FTP using PGP", I am a little confuse. My understanding is that you can use PGP to encrypt a file(s) and then you can use regular/non-secure ftp to send it outside. I mean, the ftp connection does not need to be secure because the file itself is already encrypted with PGP and there's no need for a ftp client that support PGP. You can use any ftp client to send any kind of files, PGP or not. Am I correct on this? thanks. Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77500

    - McAfee taskbar Warning Recently I've been getting a taskbar balloon saying my McAfee antivirus may be out of date. It's not. I update it daily & it's working well. The XP security center & McAfee confirm the error. My ISP is Verizon/MSN. MS told me it's an MSN problem. MSN says it's a Verizon problem. Verizon says it's a MSN security glitch. I get McAfee through my ISP. Suggestions? Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77496

    - Encryption Hi, I wish to encrypt all USB storage devices that are being used across our Windows 2003 domain with Windows XP clients, so that only users within our domain can access the data on them. I have been looking into EFS encryption and EFS will only encrypt files and folders and not the entire device, is this correct? Does anyone know of any good alternative solutions apart from EFS, that will encrypt USB devices? Thanks Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77493

    - MPAA looks to bolster its dominance by plugging the analog hole "I've said it before and I'll say it again: DRM is not about piracy, it's about shutting down fair use. It makes a lot of sense when you start thinking about DRM being Sonny Bono's twin brother. It's one of the key pieces of that horrid affront to the progress of civilization: the perpetual copyright." http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/analog-hole.ars http://www.eff.org/IP/Video/analog_hole_discussion_draft.pdf Do you guys finally understand my disgust with the DRM excuse???

    - Looking for 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. are there any (must be on-access for windows) scanners that are free for commercial use, because we are considered "commercial", but in fact we are not. Thanks in advance... Best Regards Kerem Gümrükcü Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77458

    - MS DTC ? Hello, Run cleanup maintenance on my system at the of end of every month and then do a little searching in OS. Opened but did not change "Component Services" - "computer" - viewed all folders. Upon closing and then checking "Event Viewer" found two new listings: source "MSDTC" catagory "TM" event id "2444" "security configeration" and source "MSDTC" catagory "LOG" event id "4125" "log decompressed". Went to MS Help and Support no listing found for the two events. Is this odd behavior for "MSTDC"? This is a stand alone non-network K56 modem single user unit.

    - DUMPEL - MESSAGE TEXT not displaying Greetings I use dumpel rather extensively for debugging account lockout problems. Since our support group upgraded us to SP2, I notice that the "message" portion of the event log information appears to be missing. NOTE: The issue is the SP level of the machine running DUMPEL, not the SP level of the machine who's event log you are dumping. I've tried this on two seperate SP2 systems and on a system that is still SP1, and the results are consistant. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening ??? e.g. prior to SP2 upgrade 8/8/2005 4:11:35 PM 8 2 538 Security xxxxx\yyyyy zzzzzzzz User Logoff: User Name: zzzzzzz Domain: zzzzzz Logon ID: (0x0,0xB6F20E) Logon Type: 3 post SP2 upgrade 11/1/2005 11:16:59 AM 8 2 538 Security xxxx\yyyy$ zzzzzz xxxxxx xxxxxx (0x0,0x4D66962) 3 Villy Madsen CISA ISP Information Security ATCO I-Tek Bus: (780) 420-5093 Cell: (780) 975-0110 Fax: (780) 420-3916 Mailto:Villy.Madsen@atcoitek.com 4MB Edmonton The information transmitted is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential, proprietary and/or privileged material.

    - FTP using PGP My client wants us to FTP data to them using FTP and PGP encryption. What would be the best method of achieving this? Presumably we would need an FTP client that supports PGP. Does Microsoft FTP support this? I also assume that they would need a server at their end that supports PGP. Any information on possible products would be greatly appreciated.

    - Running program files on XP with non-executable extensions? I downloaded a file (let's call it BLUESKY.EXE) which my anti- virus guard says may be a virus. I wanted to get more info about this file, so I disabled it by adding a couple of random letters to the extension. I renamed BLUESKY.EXE to BLUESKY.EXEHJ. I figured this would stop XP from running it if I double clicked it in error. But my antivirus guard 'AntiVir PE' warned me about it again. Even with the dummy extension letters. Surely such a program file is now safe enough? -- I found that if I put the random letters *before* the EXE then 'AntiVir PE' did not detect it as a virus. So BLUESKY.HJEXE is ok according to 'AntiVir PE'. Is this just an oddity in 'AntiVir PE' or is this being done because of something in my XP Pro which might truncate the letters in a file's extension after the first three letters? -- MS security groups: microsoft.public.security microsoft.public.security.virus microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77442

    - File Sharing and Broadband Recently I have made some major changes to my PC which make me think that I need to review my file sharing policy. I have moved from dial-up internet to broadband and installed a 3Com router firewall. The home network has 3 PCs which have file sharing enabled on all drives The Share Permissions tab allows 'Network' change/read permissions. The 'Security' tab allows 'Everyone' full control. (MS Office gives problems if I don't allow full access). This sounds a bit risky but as I understand it 'everyone' means anyone who logs on with the correct username and password. However, I must admit to being confused between the W2k 'Shares' properties 'Share Permissions' and 'Security'. Since the NAT on the router makes the PCs invisible to the outside world and the file shares are protected by password access then it seems safe. My installation is: W2000 Office 2000 Outpost PFW The PCs are not logged on with admin privileges except when doing Windows updates. The router provides IP addresses to the PCs Any thoughts?

    - Sony, Rootkits And Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far "Last week when I was testing the latest version of RootkitRevealer (RKR) I ran a scan on one of my systems and was shocked to see evidence of a rootkit. Rootkits are cloaking technologies that hide files, Registry keys, and other system objects from diagnostic and security software, and they are usually employed by malware attempting to keep their implementation hidden (see my ?Unearthing Rootkits? article from thre June issue of Windows IT Pro Magazine for more information on rootkits).

    - Internal and External Access to the same site. We have a b2b ordering site and would like to allow external customers to access the site with username and password and have internal CSRs access the same site without having to log in, using windows authentication. Our current solution we are not liking is to create a very restrictive Active Directory account for each of our customers and have them log in through our extranet appliance. Because of Sarbanes-Oxley (an our own policies to satisfy SOX) we now need to expire their passwords, get lots of paperwork before we can set them up, expire the accounts automatically every 12 months... What we would prefer is to have the site entirely hosted outside the firewall, (NOT dual homed), and somehow have the credentials passed to the external web server for users coming from inside the firewall, while users outside the firewall have to log in and be authenticated on the webserver against it's own authentication/authorization system.

    - ActiveX object fetching new dll's Hello, Our application can be run as an activex object which our company distributes as a signed cab file. All good so far. But we'd also like to be able to update the activex object with new dll's (not just update to the existing dll's, but actually new functionality). These new dll's could be created by us or by others. We could do that easily by just downloading new dll's, saving them in the same directory as our activex control, and loading them up. The problem with the above scenario is security. Is there a way to harness the Internet Explorer activex security implementation so that it takes care of verifying if a dll that our activex control downloads is signed our not, prompts the user to allow this or not, etc.?

    - pass username/password between processes Hi, I want to design a secure mechanism to pass username/password from one process to another, but won' t use shared public key to inside source code for encryption / decryption due to its obviouse security hole, anyone who can access srouce code know the key. several approaches conceiving now: 1. pass as command line argument in win32 use CreateProcess(). There is security hole here. 2. use shared memory for IPC. but looks like we never previent 3rd party to process to break into shared memory if its name is known. Same thing even we use public key, however the key cannot be safely passed to another process. 3. ... what else... Is there any standard way to handle such things?

    - FTP over SSL Hi, To configure FTP over SSL, I just need to purchase a FTP server software (WS_FTP server, etc.) and get a SSL certificate from VeriSign, etc. to be install on the server, right? In order for the client to connect over the SSL connection, they don't need a separate certificate, right? The only thing is a SSL FTP client. thanks. Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77360

    - Microsoft is running a disreputable spyware outfit By logging into hotmail on a new system I found out that Microsoft is running a disreputable spyware program which pops up targeted adware on your Windows PC some time AFTER you view web pages. HOW DO WE PREVENT MICROSOFT FROM INFECTING OUR PC? On a brand new PC, I noticed that EVERY time I visit a hotmail page the message comes up (which I cancel every time): --------------------------------------- Opening ADSAdClient31.dll You have chosen to open ADSAdClient31.dll which is a: Application Extension from http://rad.msn.com What should Netscape do with this file? (x) Open with dllfile (default) ( ) Save to Disk ---------------------------------------- I googled and found that this is a well-known Microsoft Ad Server spyware advertising client dynamic linked library (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2001/8/17/11541/1217) but I did not find how to PREVENT it from installing! Apparently this program pops up ads AFTER you view the web page! So it's a prime cause of pop-up annoyances and is a known spyware program from Microsoft. I tried putting 127.0.0.1 rad.msn.com into my hosts file but I STILL get this annoying Microsoft Advertising Delivery Service dll download attempt (which I cancel every time) when I visit any hotmail web page. Someone out there must be an anti-spyware expert who can tell us how to ELIMINATE the chance of this Microsoft-built adware/spyware? PLEASE! If you are a Windows expert, you'll know how to stop this program! Thank you in advance, Susan Sharm Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77341

    - Safe to delete index.dat? Hi, A while ago I read a newspaper article warning of the dangers to users of free email services such as Yahoo and Hotmail; specifically how someone "in the know" can read mails in a hidden C:\ file (even if they have been deleted). The solution was (I believe in co-ordination with the local Microsoft office) to delete index.dat. As someone who uses a free email service, and one who works *exclusively* on a portable (and who almost lost her PC recently!) this is very troubling. Is it safe to delete index.dat? Are there any precautions I need to be aware of? Can someone give me instructions how to do this? Thanks, Sharon Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77338

    - sharing broadband with guests I want to share a DSL connection with guests via WiFi in a small mountain inn. The DSL modem is also a wireless router which protects my whole network from the outside world. My question is how do I protect the two business PC's from the guests? Is it enough to run the XP firewall and use strong passwords, or do I need an additional hardware firewall between me and the guests? This lodge is in a remote mountain area so I'm not planning to use any wireless encryption methods because it will be a hassle to make sure all guests know how to use it. Is it a bad idea to leave the wireless network wide open in my situation? Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77335

    - Firefox & Spybot S&D I use Firefox, mainly. I also use Spybot S&D. QUESTION: Does Spybot S&D work with Firefox, or only with Internet Explorer? QUESTION: Does the Immunize feature of Spybot S&D work with Firefox? QUESTION: If I understand correctly, the Immunize feature sets up a "HOSTS" file that prevents access to or from certain bad websites. If the HOSTS file only works with Internet Explorer, is there a way I could copy it and set it up to work with Firefox? Thank you. <*((((><{ Fishy@Ocean.Net Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77334

    - Sluggish computer - possible spyware My friend's computer is slow in a certain way. It loads web pages at a normal speed. But sometimes when you click on an ordinary thing - like minimizing a window - it will do absolutely nothing for 5-15 seconds and then will suddenly minimize it. In other words, it does not GRADUALLY display images or windows. There do not appear to be unwanted programs running in the background (I'm not sure how to be sure of this) - and there are no programs in the Startup folder. Besides the obvious use of antivirus and antispyware programs, is there something else I could check for? Perhaps there is too little memory in the computer?

    - Security Alert Messag Once again another problem with security alert windows. I am on a site that I want to sign up as a distributor. Everything goes fine until I get to the bottom of the Terms & Conditions Page. I go to the bottom, click on "I Agree" and click submit. A security alert message comes up stating "You are about to be redirected to a connection that is not secure. The information you are sending to the current site might be retransmitted to a nonsecure site. Do you wish to continue?" I click on "Yes". The alert box goes away for a split second and then pops right back up. I keep clicking yes, it just will not go away!! Is this a problem with the site, or my problem? Thanks to anyone for help.

    - Tracing where someone os by their account How do I trace where someone has logged in from? My son's account came online while I was on Messenger. This wouldn't be a big deal except he was sitting beside me and we only have 1 pc in the house. He does not have access to MSN at school and did not give his password to anyone. I was also logged on for quite awhile so there was no way for his account to still be running. Other than changing the account password which I did when this happened to me during the summer; What else can I do? This is very worrisome for me... Tag: How to perform FULL CA backup Tag: 77298

    - Spyware vs. viruses Is it true that each computer virus has a name and an effect, but spyware doesn't? Why Spybot or AdAware found things, it just displayed names of files or cookies. When Norton AV finds things, they are in a very specific list of viruses, each with a certain nature. Why doesn't Norton make one program that is both AV and anti-spyware?

    - Spyware problem / prevention This morning I couldn't start any programs and ctrl+alt+delete would do nothing. I called support and they got me to run Scandisk. This fixed the problem. First of all, could only spyware have caused this problem? If it was spyware, was it a particular spyware program? I downloaded Spybot and it found many things and I fixed them but I'm not sure if the spyware that caused the orig. problem was eliminated. Spybot keeps a log in an awkward place.

Hi ,

I have tried to backup using CA snap-in under
all task--> Backup CA--> I select Private key, CArtificate and Certificate
Database to be backup

When I use this backup, to restore on another new server(I'm moving original
Sub CA to another new server)

It prompted me a error saying "I can restore using incremental backup"...

How should I do a Full CA backup...?

Please advise.

Will this article help you out? It explains moving CA to another server and
