RE: script SSID for wireless configs

[Sam Cayze]

Are they Dells?  I think you can with the Dell Wireless Utility (As
opposed to the built-in Windows utility).

The Dell utility can import/export configs.  Therefore, I bet there is a
way to script the import process.  Never done it, so it's just a hunch.
Fwiw.

Quick question :

 

Scenario-agency has a wireless access point with SSID broadcast
disabled, so the SSID must be explicitly entered on each 'authorized'
wireless client.

 

Can this explicit entry of the SSID be scripted to automate across
multiple systems ???

We're getting ready to rebid our IT contract.  My position is considered a

for the next 7 months in addition to include any position that I wanted in

Re: script SSID for wireless configs

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

Your safety with WPA2 varies a bit based on the protocol used (TKIP or
AES).  TKIP uses WEP mechanisms, and you maintain that WEP exposure if you
use it with WPA2.  For true WPA2 security, you need to use AES.

The configuration of some devices is deceptive when it lets you use WPA2
with TKIP.

  It really depends on what you're looking to have it do, and the expected load.

  Say it's a typical consumer Internet connection (cable, DSL, etc.),
and all they're doing is web surfing and email and remote access, and
they're using SBS to remote in, and they're not looking for any kind
of filtering, deep inspection, intrusion detection, etc.  In that
case, you could use an old PC running "free" firewall "appliance"
software like IPcop, pfsense, etc.  Or a SOHO gateway running
third-party firmware like DD-WRT.

  The problem with MAC restrictions is that MAC addresses are
transmitted cleartext.  So if an attacker tries to connect but gets no
response from the AP, but does see other nodes talking to the AP, they
can easily deduce that you are filtering by MAC.  So they note which
MAC addresses are working, wait for one of them to go away, then spoof
that MAC and continue.

  Sure, it will keep out the casual home users.  But so will just
using WPA2.  Or even WEP.

  For home or other casual use, I say just use WPA2 with a strong
passphrase.  That lets you easily get on the network, and you can
easily let your guest on the network.  WPA2 is believed to be
cryptographically sound.  As long as that holds, it will keep out both
a casual intruder (e.g., neighbor looking to mooch Internet) and a
determined attacker.  Anything else is just more work with no apparent
gain.

  For corporate use, I recommend requiring a PKI VPN to get past the
first IP gateway.  Ideally, require two-factor authentication for the
VPN.  Firewall out anything else.  Use link layer security if you
want, or not.  If someone does connect to the wifi net without
authorization, they won't be able to sniff or connect to anything
useful.  I trust a good VPN a lot more than I trust most wireless
equipment manufacturers.

  It's still being broadcast.

  Normally, a wifi AP periodically transmits a "beacon frame"
containing the SSID.  Member nodes continuously listen for beacon
frames.  By doing so, they build up that list of local wifi networks.
You have told your AP not to transmit those beacon frames, so you won't
show up in said list.

  But in order to participate in a wifi network, member nodes must
locate and associate with your AP.  That is done in the clear.  For
example, suppose your network is named "ALANET".  Your laptop has to
first ask, "Are you there, 'ALANET'?"  Your AP will then say, "Yes, I am
'ALANET'."  They then proceed to negotiate encryption.

  All wifi receivers in the area will get those transmissions.
Normally, other nodes will ignore your transmissions as unrelated.
But sniffer tools will show the contents of those frames, or even
present a list of them.

  That depends.  For someone just looking for a free Internet
connection, yes, they will prolly go after the open networks.  But some
people see things like a so-called "hidden SSID" as a challenge.
It's more "fun" to go after such targets.

  I am told that WPA2 is generally regarded as cryptographically strong,
though.  So unless there's some kind of unpublished attack happening,
you're probabbly in good shape.  Unless you have a weak secret, of
course.  If your WPA2 key is something like "password", "swordfish",
"12345", "letmein", or your SSID, then you could be in trouble.

Re: script SSID for wireless configs

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

Well, thats the kicker:  Define "casual".  You mean on an open network?
Sure.  Passworded by any level of security goes beyond casual at that point,
and is an attack.  The tools and info are all over the Internet.
Obfuscation does you nothing, but give a false sense of security.

The article that Carl posted is a good read.  For those curious, consider
this quote:

Permissions

[Glen Johnson]

I will be upgrading two servers soon to win 08 R2 from win 08.  Both servers 
support 08 R2.
Both servers hold dfs roots, and shared folders.  DFS is not replicated.
Am I correct in thinking that all I should have to do afterwards is re-create 
the DFS structure and re-share the folders and life will be good.
The file shares are on a D drive so the OS upgrade shouldn't touch the 
individual folder permissions?
I'm hoping this is the case to minimize down time.
I will have backups, just in case.
Any advice or links appreciated.

The takeaway here is that turning off the SSID broadcast should never be the

If drive by intruders see either WPA or WPA2 they will most likely keep
going.

If they see WEP they might stick around after the 30 seconds it takes to
crack it, and if it's open then they're golden.

I'd be more worried about the 13-year old neighbor boy who is running
Linux brute-forcing your network than someone outside of your
neighborhood.

That "unkown" SSID is more tempting than not.

I use my street address as my SSID, FWIW.

RE: script SSID for wireless configs

[Murray Freeman]

Of the dozen or so wifi's that I can see with inssider, one is WEP, my neighbor 
behind me is WPA2 and everyone else is WPA. Every now and then I see an 
unencrypted wifi, and I suspect it's a "honeypot". I'm WPA2! Most of the 
neighbors have "2wire" names, and I've been told that those are AT&T Uverse 
users.

If drive by intruders see either WPA or WPA2 they will most likely keep going.

If they see WEP they might stick around after the 30 seconds it takes to crack 
it, and if it's open then they're golden.

I'd be more worried about the 13-year old neighbor boy who is running Linux 
brute-forcing your network than someone outside of your neighborhood.

That "unkown" SSID is more tempting than not.

I use my street address as my SSID, FWIW.

RE: script SSID for wireless configs

[Murray Freeman]

Thanks Micheal, that clears it up somewhat. It sounds to me that with
the number of wifi's in my neighborhood, I don't have to be very
concerned because the rest of the neighborhood are broadcasting and
several use their family name. I'm going to assume that they would tend
to draw the hackers more than my "unknown" wifi, and most of them are
WPA whereas I'm WPA2. 
 
Thanks again.

Its false security.  Mainly because anyone capable of hacking

No real input as their decisions are already made, but
like I said, they are depending solely on non-broadcast of the SSID as
their 'security', they do have other proper measures in place.

RE: script SSID for wireless configs

[Murray Freeman]

So you are telling me that there are tools that can see something that
isn't being broadcast? I'm having trouble with that concept. If I tturn
off the power altogether, can these"tools" see my wifi? If the broadcast
is shut off, how is it broadcasting? Finally, if these tools can see my
SSID, can they also see the unencrypted password? I can tell you that
Inssider tells me a lot about the wifi's it picks up including it's mac
address along with the manufacturer of the wifi, and the channel in use.
But my SSID displays as unknown. Either wifi is completely unsecure or
it isn't. Please explain!

Its false security.  Mainly because anyone capable of hacking your
network can see your SSID with their toolset (its still out there in the
ether).

Obscurity != Security

And with that, let the soapboxing begin...

I've been "lurking" on this topic, and I have a couple of

problem connecting and if someone who has never connected previously
comes over, I help them by telling them the SSID and password to
connect. The next time they come over, they connect automatically. So,
my questions. First, even if you know my SSID, you need to know my
password or you're not going to connect. I figure that without the SSID,
it is even more difficult for a stranger to connect. Oh, I'm using WPA2
security. I know I could use MAC filtering, but I'm comfortable that I'm
secure enough. Can you guys explain to me how having the radio broadcast
turned off makes the security lessened?

No real input as their decisions are already made, but like I
said, they are depending solely on non-broadcast of the SSID as their
'security', they do have other proper measures in place.

The post was offered as a general comment, not a response to
your question.  That happens around here a lot.  As IT consultant, do
you not have any capacity to advise the agency on security matters?  Or
keep them from shooting themselves in the foot?  I guess not...

Thank you but that was not the question.  To the agency, this is
one layer of security, in addition to WPA, etc.  The question is whether
the wireless config could be scripted.

Subject: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected


I have a customer with an IBM xSeries 235 server with Windows Server 2003 they 
have been using for several years.  They use external USB hard disk drives for 
their backup and recently, whenever they connect one to the server, it causes 
most functions on the server to freeze up.  The keyboard and mouse still 
function, but most console functions, like right cilcking on My Computer to get 
the Manage menu, Shutting down, etc. do not respond.  The server also becomes 
unresponsive to the users connected across the network.  If the USB drive is 
already connected when the server is powered on, the system responds normally 
and is able to access the drive.  The server has all the most recent IBM and 
Microsoft updates.  I have tried changing out USB cables, power cables, adding 
a PCI USB interface and connecting to that, a different manufacturer's USB 
drive, but nothing changes the behavior.  Also, the problem persists if I 
unplug the USB drive.

When I plug in a USB flash drive, it works normally, so it seems to have 
something to do with powered devices.  It's probably coincidental, but the 
problem started immediately after an accounting program called Cyma was updated 
on this server.  It uses a Pervasive database as its engine.  The server also 
has a document imaging application called Laserfiche installed, which is a MSDE 
2000 based application and it has Backup Exec 2010 and Sunbelt Vipre 
Enterprise, which are SQL Express 2005 based.  I have not been able to find any 
correlation to issues with any of the software.

The server works fine in all other regards, so I'm having difficulty getting 
access to it for purposes of killing memory processes to see if I can isolate 
the problem and I'm running out of ideas.  I have resisted contacting Microsoft 
at this point because the customer would prefer to avoid the expense.  Has 
anyone else seen anything similar or have any other suggestions for things I 
could try?

Thanks in advance.

Seriously.  Microsoft/Windows used to get mocked constantly for just
about requiring scheduled reboots of their products.  People would take
pride in posting uptime that was trivially short compared to more stable
OS's.  But now we are forced to reboot for security reasons.

Its false security.  Mainly because anyone capable of hacking your network
can see your SSID with their toolset (its still out there in the ether).

Obscurity != Security

And with that, let the soapboxing begin...

Re: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

Re: Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

Does the USB drive have any of its own special drivers?  I have a Lacie
external drive that has a "USB Boost" driver that enables it to transfer
faster.  Works fine on my XP workstation, but I did have a problem with
explorer hanging on a Win2003 server I used it on.

RE: script SSID for wireless configs

[Murray Freeman]

I've been "lurking" on this topic, and I have a couple of questions.
First, I have a wifi at home and I have the radio broadcast turned off.
I'm using INSSIDER software to look around my neighborhood from time to
time. My SSID shows up as "unknown". Obviously I have no problem
connecting and if someone who has never connected previously comes over,
I help them by telling them the SSID and password to connect. The next
time they come over, they connect automatically. So, my questions.
First, even if you know my SSID, you need to know my password or you're
not going to connect. I figure that without the SSID, it is even more
difficult for a stranger to connect. Oh, I'm using WPA2 security. I know
I could use MAC filtering, but I'm comfortable that I'm secure enough.
Can you guys explain to me how having the radio broadcast turned off
makes the security lessened?

  Not as a regular maintenance issue.

  I'm not sure it's really a problem in the first place.  Records
should get expired with their TTL.

  Even if MS-DNS is holding on to data longer than it should, I would
expect the required monthly reboot for any Microsoft product[1] would
take care of that for you.

  I will very occasionally clear DNS cache if there's a problem that
appears to be due to stale resource records.  (You can tell this is
the issue if an authoritative server answers differently vs your
cache.)

Server 2003 becomes unresponsive when USB drive is connected

[Lewis Johnson]

I have a customer with an IBM xSeries 235 server with Windows Server 2003 they 
have been using for several years.  They use external USB hard disk drives for 
their backup and recently, whenever they connect one to the server, it causes 
most functions on the server to freeze up.  The keyboard and mouse still 
function, but most console functions, like right cilcking on My Computer to get 
the Manage menu, Shutting down, etc. do not respond.  The server also becomes 
unresponsive to the users connected across the network.  If the USB drive is 
already connected when the server is powered on, the system responds normally 
and is able to access the drive.  The server has all the most recent IBM and 
Microsoft updates.  I have tried changing out USB cables, power cables, adding 
a PCI USB interface and connecting to that, a different manufacturer's USB 
drive, but nothing changes the behavior.  Also, the problem persists if I 
unplug the USB drive.

When I plug in a USB flash drive, it works normally, so it seems to have 
something to do with powered devices.  It's probably coincidental, but the 
problem started immediately after an accounting program called Cyma was updated 
on this server.  It uses a Pervasive database as its engine.  The server also 
has a document imaging application called Laserfiche installed, which is a MSDE 
2000 based application and it has Backup Exec 2010 and Sunbelt Vipre 
Enterprise, which are SQL Express 2005 based.  I have not been able to find any 
correlation to issues with any of the software.

The server works fine in all other regards, so I'm having difficulty getting 
access to it for purposes of killing memory processes to see if I can isolate 
the problem and I'm running out of ideas.  I have resisted contacting Microsoft 
at this point because the customer would prefer to avoid the expense.  Has 
anyone else seen anything similar or have any other suggestions for things I 
could try?

Thanks in advance.

Re: DNS Cache - Do you ever clean it up?

[Phil Brutsche]

IME the only reason to clear the cache is if there's an entry in the
cache is causing a problem somehow.

The cache is cleared when the machine reboots and whenever the service
is manually restarted. If you're keeping up with your Patch Tuesday
updates each month the cache is being cleared monthly anyway.

The IPod is (if my information is correct), an IPhone without the phone.
Is there an equivalent for Android devices? I have an old Windows mobile
based PDA (yes, it still uses a stylus), and it's still working great,
but I think it will come to the end of its life before too long.

 

Know of anything?

Good point Ben.  That slipped by me.  That cache is not replicated.  So, 
this isn't a matter of AD db housekeeping.  Now it's a less significant 
matter of - do you bother cleaning out cache on your DNS servers, period?


All our DC's are DNS servers, but of the 60+, just two of them are employed 
to service external name lookups.  Those two have a pretty monstrous cache, 
with lots of empty zones.  Is it worth even thinking about, clear that cache 
a time or two per year?  Or just let it build up knowing it has no 
detrimental effect on anything?

Our DNS is AD integrated.  I've always been sort of a neat-freak about keeping 
our AD database clean.  I'll go through a couple times a year & run a report & 
remove old, stranded machine accounts, etc.  So noticing all the stagnant zone 
folders in that cache, I thought maybe it'd be good housekeeping to go in there 
& smoke the cache once a year or so.

Anyone ever mess with this?

I drive my Honda full out every time I drive it and I cannot get lower than
100mpg.  Granted I can only go 60km/h, and it is a one seater, but riding
the scooter for less than $5 a week is great fun.

That is pretty cool. Although my truck has most of that data available, it's
just not readibly displayed at any given moment. I did pick up a SuperChips
programmer to give me some added power. It actually did help my fuel
econonmy by 1 - 1.5 mpg. Of course any benefit added is wasted due to an
additional 150 ft/lbs and my lead foot.

Dammit, Google is drunk again :)

  Microsoft's DNS server doesn't keep cached non-authoritative records
in Active Directory, does it?

Thanks. The only good news is that the MPG doesn't get much worse when I'm

Re: DNS Cache - Do you ever clean it up?

[Micheal Espinola Jr]

I've never found a reason to clear it except to facility an immediate
change.  I've never had any issues with the cache otherwise.

Re: Holy PAC-MAN Batman!

[Chris Hamby]

I just had a user call me and say that her PC was making Pac Man noises.
When she opened her browser, she has three tabs open with google being in
the background so she never saw the logo. I busted out laughing when she
told me she was freaking out and thought she had a virus on her computer.

DNS Cache - Do you ever clean it up?

[mb]

Just curious what others here do.  Recently had a minor issue that had me 
looking in our DNS cache for an answer.  When I expanded the .com zone, it 
hit the default max of 10,000 domains to display.  I looked through it a 
bit, and a lot of those zone folders were empty, as TTL's had expired and 
records were long gone.


Our DNS is AD integrated.  I've always been sort of a neat-freak about 
keeping our AD database clean.  I'll go through a couple times a year & run 
a report & remove old, stranded machine accounts, etc.  So noticing all the 
stagnant zone folders in that cache, I thought maybe it'd be good 
housekeeping to go in there & smoke the cache once a year or so.


Anyone ever mess with this?

RE: script SSID for wireless configs

[Carl Houseman]

The post was offered as a general comment, not a response to your question.
That happens around here a lot.  As IT consultant, do you not have any
capacity to advise the agency on security matters?  Or keep them from
shooting themselves in the foot?  I guess not...

Thank you but that was not the question.  To the agency, this is one layer of
security, in addition to WPA, etc.  The question is whether the wireless
config could be scripted.

Hidden SSID's are false security and may even be a security hazard for mobile
users whose devices are configured with the hidden SSID:

Quick question :

 

Scenario-agency has a wireless access point with SSID broadcast disabled, so
the SSID must be explicitly entered on each 'authorized' wireless client.

 

Can this explicit entry of the SSID be scripted to automate across multiple
systems ???
