Harris,

 

Are all of your machines bound to your AD domain? There are probably a
series of registry checks to restrict access only to your domain
machines. I check for our WSUS server here to perform different checks
on domain machines compared to non-domain machines.

Subject: [CLEANACCESS] System validation rules

 

I beginning a NAC rollout and was wondering if this is possible: 

We wish to only allow our workstations on our internal network.  In
looking at the rules available, I can check for registry entries and
files, and the contents of each (and date/time stamps for the files).
If this information were to get out, it would not be of any use.  Once
the information becomes known, these checks are worthless.

What is needed is some way of ensuring that the equipment is ours.  

In the Cam users guide there is a discussion of a "Launch Programs
Example" which utilizes a valid data signature signed by certificates in
order to have a rule check to see if a service is running that is
signed.  (What is to stop someone from writing a service with the same
name to get around this?).  

I guess my question is: Is there a way to programmatically check to see
if the system is "ours", ie: use public/private keys to validate the
system is "ours".
