 - Is this OK? I installed Sygate Personal Firewall. Now it asks me the following: Win32Kernel core component (KERNEL32DLL) is trying to broadcast an ICMP Type 10 (Router Solicitation) packet to (224.0.0.2). Do you want to allow this program to access the network? When I look up the properties of this application it says it is a Microsoft program. My question is do I allow it access or is it some type of spyware? I hope someone can help answer this. Thank you Cheryl Tag: security concern about using proxy Tag: 55738

 - Annoying webpages Some webpages keep loading up on IE. They ask me to install programs that are obviously malicious. This is off a clean install of XP. I was wondering if these webpages are as a result of spyware or such. If I get IE just to block the pages, it just crashes. Anybody got any solutions?

 - UPDATE: Internet Attack Slowing Down SOURCE: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml? articleID=22102178 A major Internet attack that installs hacker tools on users' systems is subsiding, security experts say. But more copycat attacks are possible in the days ahead. By George V. Hulme A widespread attack that targeted major E-commerce sites and secretly planted hacker tools on the computers of Internet surfers is subsiding, security experts say. Security experts estimate that thousands of Web sites were compromised in the past week. The attack, which may have begun as early as Sunday, didn't attract much attention until late Thursday evening when it was identified by Internet security firms. Most of the Web sites known to have been infected have been cleaned, security analysts say. Also, Internet service providers have blocked access to, or "black- holed," the Russian server that was planting the hacker tools on user PCs. Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering for Internet security firm Symantec Corp., says Web sites running Microsoft's Internet Information Services software version 5.0 were attacked and infected with a malicious JavaScript application. When Web surfers visited affected sites, their computers were subsequently infected through multiple vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. Once a Web surfer's system was attacked by the malicious JavaScript application, the surfer's computer was connected to a server located in Russia and infected with hacker tools such as backdoors and keystroke loggers, which could be used to take control of the user's system or steal confidential information. While patches are available for most of the Internet Explorer vulnerabilities used in the attack, no patch is available for one of the flaws, commonly known as the ADODB vulnerability. It's still unclear how the attackers managed to successfully compromise Web servers running Microsoft's IIS software, security experts say. "It's something we're looking into," Huger says. It's possible, but unlikely, that systems running Microsoft IIS 5.0 software could have been attacked by a "zero-day" vulnerability, which is a new software flaw that's unknown and unpatched by software vendors, says Marcus Sachs, director, of The SANS Institute's Internet Storm Center. "That's the worst-case scenario," he says. Other possibilities include Web servers that administrators believed to have been patched but were not, or Web servers that could have been attacked through vulnerabilities unrelated to IIS 5.0. Security experts warn that future attacks are possible. "Others may attempt copycat attacks, especially if there is a zero-day attack in IIS," Sachs says. Major antivirus companies have updated their software to spot the malicious code downloaded to end-user systems in this attack. Microsoft is urging Web-site operators running Windows 2000 Server and IIS to apply a patch found in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011. Microsoft has published a Web site with more information about this attack and the IIS and Internet Explorer vulnerabilities; it's located at www.microsoft.com/security/incident/download_ject.mspx.

 - Internet virus may target financial data Last Updated Fri, 25 Jun 2004 15:41:58 NEW YORK - Security experts are tracking a mysterious new internet virus that may help hackers steal personal data, including credit card information. The user's computer is infected with malicious code placed on normally trustworthy websites that use Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS). The infection is not substantially interfering with internet traffic, but there are concerns of it spreading because work is still under way to isolate the problem and find defences against it. Some experts suggest hackers are actually loading computers with software that allows pop-up ads and use the infected machine to spread unsolicited e-mail. The virus is being spread by hundreds, and possibly thousands, of infected websites. The "malware" code redirects browsers to Russian-based web servers. The infection appears to take advantage of three separate flaws in Microsoft products. Microsoft says it patched two of those flaws in April, but the company has not had time to fix the third problem. Experts recommend users update the antivirus software on their computers to immunize them against infected sites. Windows users should also turn up security settings on Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers to the highest levels.

 - PC Users Warned of Infected Web Sites By Brian Krebs washingtonpost.com Staff Writer Friday, June 25, 2004; 3:30 PM Computer security experts and the federal government are warning Internet users to take extra precautions when browsing the Web after an Internet attack seeded Web sites with programs that hackers can use to steal personal information. The attack is more dangerous than most, according to the government's US-CERT cybersecurity center, because it affects even computers that are running updated antivirus and firewall software. Infection is possible just by visiting affected Web sites, according to US-CERT, a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The attackers, whose identities are unknown, targeted a flaw in Web sites powered by Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS). The sites hit by the attack were programmed to redirect the Explorer browser to another Web site that contains code that hackers use to record what people type on their keyboards -- including data such as passwords, credit card and Social Security numbers. The code then e-mails that information back to the attackers. Computers that run Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers are vulnerable to infection, according to US-CERT. The CERT alert said Internet Explorer users can protect themselves by turning off the "javascript" function in their browsers. Javascript is a computer language often used in building Web sites. The attack takes advantage of two recently discovered security flaws in Internet Explorer. Microsoft released a patch in April to fix one of the security holes; the company is still working on a patch for the other flaw, which security researchers publicly detailed less than two weeks ago. CERT recommends that Internet Explorer users consider different browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Communicator or Opera. For people who continue to use Internet Explorer, CERT and Microsoft recommend setting the browser's security setting to "high." Among the several Web sites hit were kbb.com, the Internet address of the Kelley Blue Book automobile pricing guide, and MinervaHealth, a health care financing company based in Jackson, Wyo. Robyn Eckard, a spokeswoman for the Irvine, Calif.-based Kelley Blue Book, said the company learned about the problem late Wednesday after Web site visitors said their antivirus software tipped them off to the code. Eckard said Kelley Blue Book removed the malicious code from its site by late Thursday afternoon. Jennifer Scharff, vice president of marketing for the company MinervaHealth, said some of the company's clients reported the problem on Thursday. The company has since fixed its site, she said. Scharff said no more than 50 visitors browsed the Web site during the time it was serving up the hostile code. In addition, at least one auction page on the eBay online auction site contained a photograph that links to an infected Web site, said Johannes Ullrich, chief technology officer for the Bethesda, Md.-based SANS Institute's Internet Storm Center. Ken Dunham, malicious code manager for Reston, Va.-based security company iDefense, said the attack bears the trademark signatures of the Hangup Group, a Russian hacker organization thought to be responsible for unleashing the recent "Korgo" worms. Korgo worms allow hackers to read what people are typing on their computers and scours infected PCs for other financial information. According to SANS, most large Internet service providers stopped forwarding Internet traffic to the Russian Web site that hosts the "keylogging" software. FBI spokesman Joe Parris declined to say whether the agency is investigating this particular attack. But Parris said hackers commonly use similar Trojan horse techniques. "We work closely with Microsoft in investigating matters of this type and always follow up on any information provided by industry," he said. Dunham and other security experts said they expect this kind of attack to become more widespread in coming weeks and months. "These guys have the tools, techniques and motivation to launch highly sophisticated attacks that are very difficult for consumers to protect themselves against," he said. "Whoever is responsible has just seen how well this attack works, and other (hacker groups) are almost surely going to take notice." Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager at Microsoft, said the company does not believe the attack is widespread. "Nonetheless, we view this is a very real threat, with serious significance in terms of the potential impact on our customers," he said. Toulouse said the company is gathering information on the attack and will hand it over to the FBI. Security experts said it is not yet clear which Microsoft vulnerability the attackers used to commandeer the Web sites. Ullrich said the culprit is a flaw in the way IIS processes secure login pages for Web sites that require users to enter a username and password. Microsoft released a patch for that flaw in April in a massive bundle of security fixes. Toulouse said that the proprietors for the majority of sites affected by the attack failed to install the patches.

 - THANX 4 NOTHIN MICROISSOFT Web Virus May Be Stealing Financial Data Jun 25, 1:52 PM (ET) By ANICK JESDANUN NEW YORK (AP) - A mysterious Internet virus being spread Friday by hundreds and possibly thousands of infected Web sites may be aimed at stealing credit card and other valuable information, security experts warned. The infection appears to take advantage of three separate flaws with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) products. Microsoft said software updates to fix two of them had been released in April, BUT THE THIRD FLAW WAS NEWLY DISCOVERED AND HAD NO PATCH TO FIX IT YET. Experts said the infection, detected by Microsoft on Thursday, was unusually broad but wasn't substantially interfering with Internet traffic. Security experts at Microsoft and elsewhere worked Friday to pin down how the infection spreads across Web sites. It appears to target at least one recent version of Microsoft software for operating Web sites - called Internet Information Server. The infection makes subtle changes to the Web site so visitors get a piece of code that's designed to retrieve from a Russian Web site software that records a person's keystrokes and can send data back, experts say. Such software "Trojan horses" are routinely used to fish for credit card numbers, bank accounts, passwords and the like. Now that the code is out, other hackers are likely to adapt it to distribute software for spamming and for launching broad Internet attacks against popular Web sites, said Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering at security company Symantec Corp. (SYMC) "Users should be aware that any Web site, even those that may be trusted by the user, may be affected by this activity and thus contain potentially malicious code," the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team warned in an Internet alert. Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager at Microsoft, recommended that computer owners obtain the latest security updates for Microsoft products and their anti- virus and firewall programs. Because one flaw has yet to be fixed, he said, users should also turn up security settings on Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers to the highest levels. Security experts noted that users can avoid the exploit by using alternative browsers such as Mozilla and Opera. Users could also turn off the "Javascript" feature on their Microsoft browsers, though doing so cripple functions on some sites. The infection does not affect Macintosh versions of Internet Explorer.

I have noticed that as from about 2 wks ago Norton is no longer scanning my email either (Norton 2003 in my case). It says it IS scanning the email but it appears to be telling porkies because the little scan window no longer shows and for the first time in ages I have started receiving attachments from people I don't know (I can't be sure they're viruses because I am not opening them to find out, but it is odd). I've even tried completely re-installing Norton but the situation remains unchanged. The only thing I changed recently which might conceivably have an impact is that I updated my ZoneAlarm firewall to the latest version. This version monitors suspicious email code itself (although not viruses) AND monitors the AV software to make sure it is behaving itself and is up to date. Could this be causing some sort of invisible conflict? LiveUpdate still works and complete system scans appear to show the system remains uninfected. Adaware has done it's customary spring clean of dodgy data miners etc but basically also drawn a blank on anything seriously amiss. . Tag: security concern about using proxy Tag: 55634

I do not find any way to make a computer-cert manually in the web nor GUI at the Enterprise CA server. Can anybody help me? Is it possible, and if not how do I do it?

 - Possible for someone to hack in and change my password? Hello, I got into a bit of an email disagreement tonight with a spammer...admittedly very stupid on my part. Coincidently, my password for messenger quit working and the message came up that my messenger had been accessed from another computer. After going through a few different links, I was finally able to get one to work that let me change my password. I was using my hotmail email address to "talk" to the spammer. I'm wondering if it's at all possible that this person somehow got into my hotmail & msn messenger account? He claimed to be very knowledgable about computers and although, I'm fairly sure most of it was bunk, it left me wondering.... Other than learning to keep my mouth (fingers?) shut....can anyone offer any advice. Is what I'm worried about even possible? If so, should I abandon my current address all together and get a new one? Thanks.... Dru Tag: security concern about using proxy Tag: 55590

 - Getting Kicked Offline Whenever I try to go to any of my secure sites it kicks me offline. Under the file menu the "work offline" keeps getting checked even though I have clicked on it to uncheck it. However, my online icon at the bottom right by the time says I am still connected. And if I click on disconnect it won't disconnect. The only thing I can do is reboot. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: security concern about using proxy Tag: 55583

 - IRC-worm ebrusex.a Ijust bought a Hewlett packard compac 2.8Ghz P4, and now virtually every file is infected with this worm. What can I do to remove it? All the files for HP are on the c: drive, so not having a CD Writer, I cant format the hard drive and 'start again' as I will loose these important programs. I tried to add my 10GB drive with windows 98 SE to the computer and it wont detect it. I cant format to anything other than XP format, my idea being to use the anti virus program i have for 98. Tearing my hair out at the moment?!? Also, even if I go out and buy a CD Writer, how will I know that copying these files to CD will just replicate this worm onto the cd so that I will be back to square one? (my intention is to format the drive 40GB to fat32 then install XP again. PLEASE HELP is possible Regards, Paul Kay Tag: security concern about using proxy Tag: 55574

It is possible to capture information from proxy. Most of
the setting is assumped that the proxy server is the
network administrator. Actually he have the most
authority not only on the web...
