VBScript for server security monitoring?
Hi all-
First of all, sorry for the multiple cross-posts; I tried to pick out
germane groups to post to, so sorry-in-advance if it's not appropriate.
Anway, getting down to business:
As one of three AD administrators for a campus of more than 50000 users, I'm
a little strapped for time. However, one of the major things that needs
paying attention to is security on servers -- especially domain controllers
(the recent RPC exploit madness just reiterated that fact).
What I'm wondering is what tools have other network admins [yes, you!] have
used -- via VBScript and WMI -- to automate the process of security
auditing.
Ideally, I would have a vbscript that fires off once every fifteen minutes,
looks for weirdness (ie, >400 failed log in attempts from the same
workstation or for the same username) in the the logs of a list of
computers, then output the results to a file, and, if weirdness was found,
email a short text message to my phone. Is this even possible?!?!
Thanks in advance,
chris.

Downloading "Updates" from MS
Hello - 1st of all, what a bunch of hassle just to try to
send an email or whatever to MS to get some kind of simple
answer.
Anyway, all I want to know is how I can find out if the
Updates I periodically have downloaded over the years have
actually "installed" or not?
The reason I ask is because I came across a folder full of
ZIPPED files and I'm not sure if they had been UNzipped or
not (they are the files from MS UPDATE).
I just read that each downloaded file from MS Update must
be UNzipped manually. Is this correct? And is there a way
to find out what DL files installed and any that did not?
Thankyou for any feedback - James Tag: visitorcapture.com and pop-up windows Tag: 27031
Home Page
My home page is being changed to
http://youfindall.net/656387/ at each start up. I am able
to reset the home page and as long as I do not re-start my
system it remains the same. Only at start up does it
change to http://youfindall.net/656387/ I was wondering if
I might get assistance with locating the coding which
obviously has been downloaded onto my system with out my
permission. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

IUSR lockout
All,
I tried to repeat a problem I was able to get to work before, but I am not
having any luck. I thought I was able to create a DOS on a web server by
locking out the IUSR account at one point. However, when I lock it out now,
I can't seem to get it to cause a DOS. The links and everything else seems
to behave normally even after locking out that account. Any thoughts on
what I may be doing wrong?
FYI, to do this, I created a test directory, and a user named test. For the
test directory, I allowed only the test user, administrators, and system to
have access to that folder. IIS was set to Integrated Auth, and Allow Anon
access. I thought I was able to demonstrate this problem before, but for
some reason I can't get it to work now. Thoughts?
Thanks,

What are these registry entries?
While looking through the startup files, I found these two entries in the

Pest Patrol to view both the startup files and the running processes of the

HKLM\software\CLASSES\htafile\shell\open\command (MSHTA.EXE "%1"%*)
HKey_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\open\command (MSHTA.EXE "%1"%*)
Paths for the two are C:\windows\system\mshta.exe
Both possess an MD5 "signature" of

What the heck are they? Would any of these be an issue for concern?

>It has been widely reported in the press and on
Microsoft's own web site, that on July 16th we released a
critical security bulletin (MS03-026) and a patch
regarding a vulnerability in the Windows operating system.
We wanted to make sure that if you were not aware of this
bulletin and corresponding patch that you take a moment to
go to http://www.microsoft.com/security/

running an affected version of the Windows operating

need to do to apply this patch if you have not already.
>Although we encourage you to pay attention to all

Problems With Windows Update
We are trying to update a number of our servers by
accessing the Windows Update Site and then asking it
to "Scan for Updates". In most cases, machines check okay
showing 33%, 66% e.t.c and then come up with a list of
patches which are needed.
However, a number of machines seem to reach 100% of the
check in a matter of a few seconds, and it then says
that "no updates are available at the present time". Now
I know that some of these machines are not running the
latest patches so somewhere along the line the check is
not working correctly. Has anyone else come across
this ? If so, what can I do to rectify this problem ?

not able to create socket ,coz of insufficient user rights
I am developing a web server in ASP.NET.
There are 2 web services in it. I have a C++ (unmanaged)
Library whose functions are being called from my C# code
with DLLIMPORT attribute.
Problem:
My C++ library has two functions. Both of them are opening
sockets using Winsock.
One function is opening socket
like
(1)
sockRaw = WSASocket(AF_INET,SOCK_RAW,IPPROTO_ICMP,NULL,0
,WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED);
and the other function is
(2)
m_Socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
I login to my this site from different machine in same
network domain(LAN). I login with my windows user ID and
password of that system. I am able to login with
administrative rights as well as with user rights. All the
users are of the system where the webserver is running.
My problem is :
When I login with normal user ID password API (1) is
failing, I am not able to debug this code. But it is
failing. Whereas in case of administrator every thing is
working fine.
Or in other word I would say that WSASocket is failing in
to create socket because of insufficient user rights.
This is very strange for me , I don't know how it is
happening so kindly help me or suggest me what I should do.

I set my Directory security to Basic Authentication.
