    - Administrator Read Only Is there a way to give a user all the priviliges to look at anything an Administrator can see, but prevent him from making any changes. In my case, we're hiring a security guy whose job will be to look for security flaws, but not to change anything. Among other things, he'll need to run MBSA on the domain, see group policies and event logs, and audit file and folder permissions. Tag: weird icon Tag: 57303

    - CreateProcessAsUser (error A required privilege is not held by the client) Hello, I want to do something similar but I have problems with CreateProcessAsUser function. It always returns me 1314 error code (A required privilege is not held by the client). What I really want to is give more privileges to current process. I'll explain. I'm developing a service setup and it needs to call net start and other things. It should be able to install the service under no administrator users, so I use, first of all, LogonUser and ImpersonateLoggedOnUser to convert current process to privileged process. This part goes well and let me extract files in Program Files folder and write on LocalMachine registry entry. I tried to use ShellExecute to call "net start service_name" but it didn't go well. I read that impersonate token is not inherit by new processes, so ShellExecute took unprivileged token on its creation. I think that the solution is CreateProcessAsUser to call "net start service_name" but when I execute it, the result is 1314 error code (A required privilege is not held by the client), as I said. I'm very glad if anyone can help me. This is the part of code that I use to do everything: bool ActionsUserAuth(bool bControlActived) { bool bUserAuth = false; TCHAR szUsername[MAXSTRINGLEN]; TCHAR szDomain[MAXSTRINGLEN]; TCHAR szPassword[MAXSTRINGLEN]; HANDLE hToken; HANDLE hAdminUser; //bool bExit = false; //int iTry = 0; ClsTokenPrivileges TokenInfo; bExit = false; bControlActived = true; if (bControlActived) { bUserAuth = (IsCurrentUserLocalAdministrator() == TRUE); bUserAuth = false; if ((bUserAuth) && (bDebugMode)) Log(TEXT("ActionsUserAuth: administrator privileges")); else Log(TEXT("ActionsUserAuth: non administrator privileges")); memset(szUsername, 0, sizeof(szUsername)); memset(szDomain, 0, sizeof(szDomain)); memset(szPassword, 0, sizeof(szPassword)); //while ((!bUserAuth) && (iTry < 3)) //{ if (!DlgUserAuth(szUsername, szDomain, szPassword)) { bExit = true; if (bDebugMode) Log(TEXT("ActionsUserAuth: User authentication dialog failed")); return false; } if (!RevertToSelf()) { if (bDebugMode) Log(TEXT("ActionsUserAuth: Revert To Self")); return false; } // Get the current process token handle... if( !OpenProcessToken( GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken )) return false; if (!SetPrivilege(hToken, SE_TCB_NAME, true)) return false; if (LogonUser(szUsername, szDomain, szPassword, LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hAdminUser)) bUserAuth = true; else bUserAuth = false; /* if (!bUserAuth) { if (!bSilentMode) { MessageBox(NULL, Diccionary->Get(TEXT("IDS_USERAUTH_ERROR")), Diccionary->Get(TEXT("IDS_GEN_CAPTIONERROR")), MB_OK); } } else*/ if (bUserAuth) { if (!ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(hAdminUser)) MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Inpersonate Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); ///////////////////////////////////////////////// if (DuplicateTokenEx(hAdminUser, MAXIMUM_ALLOWED, 0, SecurityImpersonation, TokenPrimary, &hAdminPriv) == 0) MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("duplicate token Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); if (!SetPrivilege(hAdminPriv, SE_ASSIGNPRIMARYTOKEN_NAME, true)) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("SetPrivilege Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); return false; } if (!SetPrivilege(hAdminPriv, SE_INCREASE_QUOTA_NAME, true)) { MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("SetPrivilege Error"), TEXT(""), MB_OK); return false; } TCHAR szRes[MAXSTRINGLEN]; STARTUPINFO si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) ); si.cb = sizeof(si); ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) ); //my_strcpy(szRes, TEXT("C:\\Archivos de programa\\Inquiero Installable ISD\\prova.exe")); my_strcpy(szRes, TEXT("\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\prova\\Escritorio\\prova.exe\"")); TokenInfo.DisplayInformation(TEXT("C:\\token.info")); if (!CreateProcessAsUser(hAdminPriv, NULL, szRes, NULL, NULL, TRUE, IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi)) { TCHAR szError[MAXSTRINGLEN]; wsprintf(szError, TEXT("%d"), GetLastError()); MessageBox(NULL, szError, TEXT(""), MB_OK); } ///////////////////////////////////////////////// CloseHandle(hAdminUser); } // iTry++; //} if (!bUserAuth) return false; } return true; } Tag: weird icon Tag: 57292

    - Updates slow down Windows XP & download speeds Hello all: I am having the same issues with Mac OSX. I have high speed cable and contantly acheive speeds of 260k per second download speeds on an unpatched XP pro machine. On my other machine, I installed all of the updates. As with OSX, windows I have found has taken a massive performance hit as a result of all of the security updates applied. On the same cable these speeds dwindle down to only 50-60k per second. I cannot find any threads or support pertaining to this issue. It appears that performance on these platforms is being sacraficed for security. Any ideas...? Thanx. Tag: weird icon Tag: 57283

    - What is a valid digital certificate for a file? Hi. When I checked the digital certificate for file "EXCEL.EXE", I saw "Valid from 3/29/01 to 5/29/02". Today is 7/14/2004. If it is a certificate on Apache server, it will say "This certificate has expired." But Windows told me "This certificate is OK." How can it be possible to be OK? After I renamed the file "EXCEL.EXE" to "EXCEL123.EXE", it still says "This certificate is OK." The certificate protects software from alteration after publication. If the filename is changed, is that an alteration? If I signed a DLL with a certificate and renamed it, the DLL file's certificate will be OK, but there is no way to use it as before. Please let me know the true meaning of digital certificate. Thank you, Tag: weird icon Tag: 57276

    - DOS Exploit Using Spybot Search and Destroy, I have repeatedly encountered what is labeled a Data Source Object Exploit. The fix temporarily removes the DOS Exploit, but it returns, despite my attempts to manually remove it in the Registry at: HKEY USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings\Zones. There are four Zones in mine. The 1004 value highlights and I have removed all four several times without success. Based on information provided by Spybot S & D, I understand that a security hole in Internet Explorer is allowing websites to execute code without my permission. Today, I had to remove a trojan horse: Download/Ware. I do not know if there is a connection. I do know, however, that I have had to remove considerably more adware and spyware since I discovered the problem with the DOS Exploit. On article I read suggested renaming the 1004's to 1003's. I am wondering if the zones may safely be deleted in there entirety? Is there a fix, other than going to a different browser? My system information follows.

    - Firewall Program Disabled After Security Updates I am posting this here because I do not know where else to post, and wanted this to be seen by Microsoft's Tech Support. Today, Wednesday, June 14, 2004, I downloaded the new security updates that I get via IE Browser updates. After I finished with the updates, and rebooted, I happened to look inside my McaFee Firewall listings for "Manage programs you access on the Internet", and I noticed this: Microsoft Help Center Hosting Server [5.1.26000.0 Blocked I never did it, and I removed the this whole listing. This is for your information, but I wondered if it was part of the security updates, and if I should have left it there.

    - Using software restriction policies to prevent virus and malware - Microsoft Response needed Will using software restriction policies help to prevent virus and malware from getting on Windows XP professional machines?

    - Host-based security Hello, at present I write my diploma thesis with the topic "host- based security". The emphasis is situated however not on the clientprotection but the protection of the servers in a network environment. Can you recommend some sources to me, where I can find material? For example Microsoft-Security-Guru Steve Riley held a lecture on "Death OF the DMZ", that deals with this topic. The slides I have about this presentation are not informative because Steve just says, that he does not use any slides during his lecture... Unfortunately I did not hear the lecture. If you have any usable information I would be very grateful!! Tag: weird icon Tag: 57131

    - certificate and smartcard Hi, I am currently working on a project using smartcards for authentication. Everything work fine but I have to automate the process and I wonder if you can advise me. Here is the list of the tasks I would like to automate : * Generate a user certificate * Copy this certificate on the smartcard * 'DUMP' smartcard data (serial number, ... so I will be able to store the data in a database for admin purpose) * copy the user certificate in the AD account (certificate mapping). I you can advise me that would be great. Best regards FE Tag: weird icon Tag: 57129
