    - File Checksum Integrity Verifier (FCIV) utility - Exceptions List I'm trying to create an exceptions list when using the fciv utility but it's not working. I have 3 directories on my d drive - A, B, C and I want to exclude C from the file check. My initial command looks like this: fciv d:\ -r -exc exceptions.txt -md5 -xml test.xml My exception list (exceptions.txt) is in the same directory as my fciv utility and contains 1 line: d:\C I run the following command to verify: fciv -v -xml test.xml > testResult.txt The testResult.txt file includes all 3 directories but should exclude changes to the C directory based on my exceptions.txt. Thanks for any help you can provide. Tag: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91477

    - Uninstalling McAfee Privacy HELP!!! I previously had McAfee Privacy and McAfee Security on my computer. Cancelled it. Now, I am trying to download Norton Virus, and it will not download.

    - 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: ppcleandeleteatreboot???

    - 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: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91448

    - 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: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91445

    - 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?

    - 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: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91429

    - Eliminating data from hard disks;options Hi, We have to phase out and decomission several Compaq/HP servers and respective hard drives. I attempted to use a tool 'maxblast' (or something like that) in the past, and I didn't get that one to work on multiple hard disks with unconfigured RAID. Two questions: 1)If I use the vendor tool to 'delete' an array and 'recreate' an array, is the data on the hard drive wiped out? According to the message on the screen it says that is the case. I am wondering if security wise, the data on the hard drive has been destroyed for good and what it would take to recover it in case someone with bad intentions manages to explore data from those hard drives. 2)Imagine I run 'SmartStart CD' (it is just a vendor initialization software from HP) and I run the option 'Erase System Partition'. That respective option tells me that the whole data and system partition would be deleted from the hard drive. Upon running the tool I noticed that the LED on the hard drives flash very quickly and the message on the screen states that the data has been erased. Since that happens so fast, I am wondering whether the data has been wiped out? If I don't get an answer from people on this, I may ask HP, however I am trying here to get an unbiased feedback. Thanks much, Marlon Tag: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91374

How can I set the owner, or security, so that adminstrator can access the folders and thus let me set correct ownership?

    - Security Logging on Central Server Does any vendor make a product that would record not just the metainformation for each incoming and outgoing connection on each machine (source and target IP, ports, etc) but also Windows OS specific information like process name and PID, and record all of that in a central database using SQL Server? It would be extremely nice if I could then go to a management console and do complex queries and see certain traffic patterns (e.g., all attempts to connect to IP=x in the last 90 days). You might find as an answer that three machines on your network connection to that target IP and do so using a process whose name is namgr.exe, for example. Having this kind of information is an invaluable time saver over the old fashioned methods of sniffer and sysinternals tcpview. -- Will Tag: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91359

    - Traffic from Computers that are Powered off 1 I am an IT manager of a small company. We have a local domain server (Win2003, Exchange) on which we have ISA 2004 installed. Employees leave at 5:00pm and switch off their computers. The last few days, I have been looking at the ISA logs, and I noticed that there was traffic between some computers (on the internal network; and they are off !) and the server. This could be some weird worm/trojan that spoofs the IPs but I tried all kinds of anti-virus and I can't find anything. The protocols I see in the logs are mostly RPC, Microsoft CIFS (TCP), and NetBios. I can't see the raw IP header in the logs (which is another question I have even though I configured ISA to log this as well) Any ideas what that might be ? Tag: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91305

    - Audit the Creation of a Directory I have "Audit Object Access" turned on via group policy to audit success/failed events for my domain workstations. I also have have auditing turned on for the folder that I want to audit on one of these domain workstations. The two items I want to audit is: creating or deleting a file or folder. The deletion of a file/folder works fine and shows up in my security log. The creation of a "file" also shows up in my security log. The issue is: The creation of a "folder" does not show up in my security log. Why is this? What am I doing wrong? Can somebody try this and see if they receive the same results? These are the auditing entries I have for the particular folder that I am auditing on this domain workstation: Create Files/Write Data Create Folders/Append Data Delete Subfolders and Files Delete The above four auditing entries are enabled for success and failed events.

    - Apple Commercials Mock Vista Security On target and very funny. IE7 is just as bad, I tried to send this on IE7 but Google claimed I was blocking cookies even though I have Google listed as trusted. 1 step forward, 2 steps back. It's simple, MS should include a firewall that is at least on par with ZA, and and stop inventing executable codecs and other virus friendly file formats. MS also hasn't learned that there is a fine line between malware and "marketing friendly" software. Root kits were invented by Sony (if I'm not mistaken), and I think it's time that someone creates an enforceable standard (a law) that no app can access the web or contact the manufacturer's servers without the express consent of the user. I don't need permanent "buy me now" buttons on every little app I use. Nor does ever app need internet access. I "validated" my software when I had to drag my ass down to the store and give the surly cashier my hard earned money. Yes, piracy is a problem, but it's not my problem--my problem is the continuing focus on marketing and not on customer satisfaction. That's the goal, customer satisfaction. A "free market" means if you can't hack it, you leave. If too many people are stealing your software, do something else, become a bus driver. That's what we were told, if your jobs get sent overseas, do something else, it's the free market! Automatic updates are the result of sloppy programming and greed. Here's an idea: test your f'ing software *before* you sell it. What about all the superior Indian programmers that took jobs from US programmers? Shouldn't the software be *better* than it was? Adobe reader wants an "update" almost every week. It's just a f'ing viewer, but it causes more than its fair share of browser crashes. It's Adobe, they can make Photoshop but they can't fix their own file viewer? Or is it marketing data they're collecting? And why are people using Adobe anyway, it's the web, the web is made for f'ing text! I say f--- pdf files! So, maybe it's time to get back to basics. Focus on making good software that is not spyware and maybe security will be as simple as watching 2 or 3 ports. As it stands now, every app wants to report back, or open a link to a web store. Adware is one thing, but poking holes in my security and cluttering my bandwidth with hacker friendly marketing data is another. Think about this, you've got a choice: a "B" class product that tries to send data to it's manufacturer or a cracked "A" class product that tries to send data to it's hacker or a "X" class open source product that just does what it's supposed to do. The more intrusive and disruptive a manufacturer's auto update/ marketing scams, the more appealing the cracked version becomes (to non-techs). People won't select the cracked version because it's free, they'll do it because the devil you know is better than the devil you don't know (or vice versa?). Of course that will cause a whole new cycle of malware infections (read: you shouldn't use cracked software). Repeating: I'm saying you should not steal software, you should not use cracked software. Lastly, Vista is proof that the versions of windows between 3.11 and Vista weren't really OS upgrades, just skins with gimmicks. I should really get a blog. Copyright 2007, Borg Vomit PS a news cast just said: Bootleg Vista on sale in Mexico... $9 !!! Sad. That means they'll add another 50 digits on the PID and make you call a 1800 everytime you boot up... time to switch to Linux. Tag: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91286

    - Best Way to Share a Secret String Between Member Servers? I am looking at issues around having each computer do its own backups using the native Windows backup application to a file server. Rather than having a custodial domain account used by the computers, and with that all of the hassles of dealing with how to secure the password, I am wondering if there is a way to do the DACL permissions to the target share / file system based on just authentication by Windows domain system of the target computer itself. Could you put the machine object of the computer doing the backup into the DACL of the target share\folder-path, and then run the backup process as SYSTEM on the client computer? I did try this as an experiment and the scheduled task refused to run. That could be a problem with the implementation or with the theory, and that's why I am checking. -- Will Tag: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91277

    - question about removing enterprise CA We have an AD environment where other departments created Enterprise CA's for there own use. What has happened is that those servers got decomissioned without certificate services being remove properly. There is no backups of those machines since they have been decomissioned for some time now. I would like to clean up the mess left over in Active Directory. Since these machines have been removed and certificate services wasn't removed properly at that time what is the best way to clean up? Do I just go in and remove the AD objects related to those certificate services servers now? Tag: ppcleandeleteatreboot??? Tag: 91272
