Carl's tool worked marvelously. It opened the port and I was able to
verify it was open by telnet'ing to it..

It's an internal IP address. 

I want to open a network port on my server and see if I can use
portqry to see if it's open. Network team tells me that the server's
locked down, but I don't think so..

Use something like nmap, or portqry, or tcpview to see what

I'm happy to run a scan for you at a given IP address, but you

Subject: Standalone applet to create an open port?

 

I am looking to prove the network team wrong.. The firewall
looks to be configured wrong, but they keep blaming my server. 

I am looking for an application to run on a server, that would
open a network port and respond to a port query. 

Thinking that something like a telnet server, assigned to answer
on a non-standard port would work, but don't want to install IIS, etc.
on the server to do it. 

Any ideas? 

 

 









Nmap -sS -P0 -p 8080 Target_IP_Address will also help you.

MS Project Server 2003, it's flaky.  We're on about our 4th installation of
it, when a fellow admin of mine went to training (official MS training) for
it, he was told by the instructor that if you get a stable installation of
Project Server by the 4th or 5th installation of it you are doing good.  Our
unwritten rule for when a ticket comes in from a user on Project Server is
that we wait a couple of days and the issue mysteriously clears up..

Take a look at Project.net  We looked at this product and really really
liked it, but couldn't get budget approval for it.  If you're brave, they

Hey Shook,

I know HIPAA is involved, though still poorly enforced, for all doctors
including surgeons, dentists, optometrists and the like.  There are
additional requirements or awareness that is needed for offices using
wireless networks. Until they actually start strictly enforcing HIPAA I
don't know if there will be concrete rules.  Here's a link to some basic
information I know of, but who knows how current it is.

Re: HIPPA and wireless

Shook:

Based on my experience at my last gig (working in Long Term Healthcare),
wireless should not be an issue as long as you are using some form of
encryption.  Since most wireless cards/AP/Routers support WPA2 I would just
turn that up on the AP for anything internal.  We had quite a few mobile
users that would travel from facility to facility and using the wireless in
facility.  We used Cisco Aironet 1300's with Cisco ACS, hooked into our AD
domain so that they had to use LEAP to get on to the wireless, and it worked
just fine for us.

HTH.

I've heard the same things about Project Server.  I have another friend that
is on his 3rd install right now and it still is acting up.  Any alternatives
out there that are stable and just as easy to set up?

 

Thanks..

MS Project Server 2003, it's flaky.  We're on about our 4th installation of
it, when a fellow admin of mine went to training (official MS training) for
it, he was told by the instructor that if you get a stable installation of
Project Server by the 4th or 5th installation of it you are doing good.  Our
unwritten rule for when a ticket comes in from a user on Project Server is
that we wait a couple of days and the issue mysteriously clears up..

Take a look at Project.net  We looked at this product and really really
liked it, but couldn't get budget approval for it.  If you're brave, they
have free option available (open source).

Re: HIPPA and wireless

That should do the trick.  Just make sure that you are using the highest
level of encryption afforded by the devices.  Also take all the other
necessary precautions, hidding the SSID, turning off beaconing, etc.  Of
course this means that you'll have to manually configure the wireless on
each workstation, but that can just means more hours that can be billed for,
and that can't be all bad ;)

RE: HIPPA and wireless

Shook:

Based on my experience at my last gig (working in Long Term Healthcare),
wireless should not be an issue as long as you are using some form of
encryption.  Since most wireless cards/AP/Routers support WPA2 I would
just turn that up on the AP for anything internal.  We had quite a few
mobile users that would travel from facility to facility and using the
wireless in facility.  We used Cisco Aironet 1300's with Cisco ACS,
hooked into our AD domain so that they had to use LEAP to get on to the
wireless, and it worked just fine for us.

HTH.

Joe.

Apparently you didn't read any of the wireless discussion on here last
week.

See this link for details about hiding SSID and such.  Waste of time.

http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=43

 

SSID hiding: There is no such thing as SSID hiding. You're only hiding
SSID beaconing on the Access Point. There are 4 other mechanisms that
also broadcast the SSID over the 2.4 or 5 GHz spectrum. The 4 mechanisms
are; probe requests, probe responses, association requests, and
re-association requests. Essentially, youre talking about hiding 1 of 5
SSID broadcast mechanisms. Nothing is hidden and all youve achieved is
cause problems for Wi-Fi roaming when a client jumps from AP to AP.
Hidden SSIDs also makes wireless LANs less user friendly. You dont need
to take my word for it. Just ask Robert Moskowitz who is the Senior
Technical Director of ICSA Labs in his white paper Debunking the myth of
SSID hiding
http://www.icsalabs.com/icsa/docs/html/communities/WLAN/wp_ssid_hiding.
pdf .

Sidenote,  it was recently talked about here that hiding the SSID is  
worthless. I'm too lazy to search back thru my emails but somebody  
posted a link to iirc a zdnet hosted article that listed a list of the  
top wifi security fallacies, where mac filtering was #1, and hiding  
ssid was on that list too.

 MS Project Server 2003, it's flaky.  We're on about our 4th installation of
 it, when a fellow admin of mine went to training (official MS training) for
 it, he was told by the instructor that if you get a stable installation of
 Project Server by the 4th or 5th installation of it you are doing good.  Our
 unwritten rule for when a ticket comes in from a user on Project Server is
 that we wait a couple of days and the issue mysteriously clears up..

 Take a look at Project.net  We looked at this product and really really
 liked it, but couldn't get budget approval for it.  If you're brave, they
 have free option available (open source).

Ok, so I missed that thread. I already had advised Shook to use the highest
level of encryption afforded by the device in my followup and in my original
post said that most devices support WPA2. If you're using the highest level
of encryption afforded by the device, in this case WPA2, then hiding the
SSID can't hurt. In George Ou's articles on ZDNet, when he was referring to
hiding SSID's as a security measure, I believe that he was referring to
using that as your only security measure, without any type of encryption
(read as Open Network). Same goes for MAC address filtering - not
effective if there is no encryption is involved.

As far as LEAP being useless, it is only useless when combined with weak
passwords. Since we were using Cisco ACS to hook into AD, our password
policy required strong passwords, with a very aggressive password expiration
and history policy.

Hopefully this clears up any confusion that may have been in my initial
responses.

Sidenote, it was recently talked about here that hiding the SSID is

list too.

That should do the trick. Just make sure that you are using the highest

necessary precautions, hidding the SSID, turning off beaconing, etc. Of
course this means that you'll have to manually configure the wireless on
each workstation, but that can just means more hours that can be billed for,
and that can't be all bad ;)

Large Environment Backup solutions, was WMI Query

BTW, I am very happy with my current employer's solution. They are running
EMC Networker and from the Exchange server perspective it works seemlessly,
even with our 8 node Exchange 2k3 cluster.. :) EMC still hasn't resolved an
issue where it fails to restore to a RSG, but nothing that failing-over to a
passive node hasn't resolved.

 From the docs, I think their clustering solutions are less then

 I imagine our dedicated storage team is on such lists.  I stay as far

  I respect the software, but would switch in a heartbeat, except for two

  1) the cost to continue using is is ridiculously low - maintenance is

  makes the cost of switching to something else much less attractive.

RE: HIPPA and wireless

2008-07-09 Thread Glen Johnson

Sure it can hurt.

I found out the hard way that a default vista setup wont connect to an
ap with a hidden ssid.  I know that can be changed but no sense hiding
the SSID if it creates problems and give no security gains.

Clients also seem to authenticate way faster if the SSID is broadcast.

Ok, so I missed that thread.  I already had advised Shook to use the
highest level of encryption afforded by the device in my followup and in
my original post said that most devices support WPA2.  If you're using
the highest level of encryption afforded by the device, in this case
WPA2, then hiding the SSID can't hurt.  In George Ou's articles on
ZDNet, when he was referring to hiding SSID's as a security measure, I
believe that he was referring to using that as your only security
measure, without any type of encryption (read as Open Network).  Same
goes for MAC address filtering - not effective if there is no encryption
is involved.

As far as LEAP being useless, it is only useless when combined with weak
passwords.  Since we were using Cisco ACS to hook into AD, our password
policy required strong passwords, with a very aggressive password
expiration and history policy.

Hopefully this clears up any confusion that may have been in my initial
responses.

Re: HIPPA and wireless

Where did I ever say that leap was the way to go? I just stated that it was
implemented at my last gig, using strong passwords and an aggressive
password change/history policy for the wireless users. I wasn't the one
that set it up, and the C-Level did not want changes made to it due to the
amount that they had spent on the infrastructure based on the
recommendations of the prior network admin.

Now had we been newly implementing wireless in our facilities, I'd have gone
the WPA2 route and used the built in NICs in the notebooks and WPA2
supported APs. For an added layer of security I'd use self-signed SSL Cert
and configure PEAP via GPO. Another option is using IAS with a self-signed
cert as well.

To each their own.

I think the greatest threat would be external, but the same risk
exists internally.  A well crafted trojan could potentially manipulate
the same information on internal systems.

Because so many successful threats rely on tricking and spoofing, I
would worry at this point that it will become a popular exploit.

Looks like that will work:

By default, the rights and permissions that are granted to the Power Users

On Windows XP all releases, when you replace, or change the screensaver 
displayed on the login screen with a specially crafted version designed to 
execute programs, those programs are launched under the SYSTEM SID, IE: 
they are given automatically the highest access level avalible to Windows. 
This level is not accessible even to administrators.  

This flaw is important because while one would need Power User privledges 
or above to change the Login Screensaver, ... A similar flaw exists in 
Win2K, but Microsoft has ignored it.

All a power user has to do is make the login screensaver run CMD.EXE and s/he 
has a command-prompt with system privs.

MSKB 825069 (above) offers two workarounds: 1. Don't use Power User's Group and 
2. Only run MS Certified applications.

Take a look at the printer drivers on the client.  If the client has a
printer where the driver does not play well with TS it could cause the
blue screen you describe.  I have seen this before.  Remove the printers
from the client so that they won't map when the user logs into your TS,
then if successful add them back one at a time until you find the
culprit driver.

SSIDs are still included in all packets sent, so hiding the SSID has NO

 Of course this means that you'll have to manually configure the wireless on

The six dumbest ways to secure a wireless LAN




 http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=43




 Posted by George Ou @ 2:01 am March 18th, 2005




 ... 











 Wireless LAN security hall of shame











 1. MAC filtering: 




 2. SSID hiding: 











 3. LEAP authentication: 




The use of Cisco LEAP authentication continues to be the single biggest 
mistake that corporations make with their wireless LAN because they leave 
themselves wide open to attack. Cisco still tells their customers that 
LEAP is fine so long as strong passwords are used. The problem is that 
strong passwords are an impossibility for humans to deal with. If you 
doubt this, try a password audit of all the users in your organization and 
see how long it takes to crack 99% of all passwords. 99% of organizations 
will flunk any password audit for most of their users within hours. Any 
attempt to enforce strong passwords will result in passwords written on 
sticky notes. Since Joshua Wright released a toolthat can crackLEAP with 
lighting speed, Cisco was forced to come out with a better alternative to 
LEAP and they came up with an upgradeto LEAP calledEAP-FAST. 
Unfortunately, EAP-FAST still falls short in security with its default 
installation. Although Cisco makes LEAP and EAP-FAST freely available to 
partners for the client end, the same is not true for Access Points.LEAP 
and EAP-FAST are essentially two proprietary protocolsthat Cisco employs 
as a strategy to monopolize the Access Point market. There are open 
standards based EAP mechanisms like EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP which are 
all much more secure than either LEAP or EAP-FAST and they work on all 
Access Points and client adapters, not just Cisco. Cisco does support open 
standard EAPs just like everyone else so you should always use open EAP 
standards to get better security and avoid the hardware lock-in.


















 4. Disable DHCP: 




 5. Antenna placement: 




 6. Just use 802.11a or Bluetooth:

DHCP installation failure

2008-07-09 Thread Damien Solodow

I have a server I'm attempting to install the DHCP server on and the
install fails saying a file or registry setting is missing.

 

The server is running Win2k3 with SP2. It's a DC currently running DNS,
WINS and CA.

 

The weird thing is, according to the event log, the DHCP Server service
gets installed and started. It throws two errors - one about not being
authorized, and the other saying it's a bad idea to run DHCP  DNS on a
DC without authentication credentials. Then the service stops, after
which the component install apparently cleans house because it removes
the service and registry entries.

 

Anyone seen this one before?

How many AP's are on the market today that only support WEP?  Not an issue

capable of supporting WPA/WPA2.



  Also take all the other necessary precautions, hidding the SSID, turning

 SSIDs are still included in all packets sent, so hiding the SSID has NO
 material effect on wireless security -- someone trying to get in will scan

  Of course this means that you'll have to manually configure the wireless

RE: DNS flaw plugged by vendors

2008-07-09 Thread Michael Ross

Its doesn't matter which type of DNS you're using. This is a vulnerability
in the protocol itself, not in whose implementation of it you like or
dislike.
Earlier this year, professional security research Dan Kaminsky discovered a
major issue in how Internet addresses are managed (Domain Name System, or
DNS). This issue was in the design of DNS and not limited to any single
product.

Windows Media Services - Pause while recording?

2008-07-09 Thread Mike Gill

If anyone knows of a good forum/list for this I would be grateful to know.

 

I have Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise 32bit and am using Windows Media
Encoder to record audio and video content from a capture card. This is
content is being recorded to the hard drive and not pushed to Windows Media
Services. Then I have an On Demand WMS publishing point set up to use the
recorded file as a source. As far as I can tell, this is how you must
proceed if you want to use the pause/FF/RW feature of WMP. I can connect
from other computers using WMP and view the content.

My problem is, I can't pause the content if the recording is still in
progress. I only have stop as an option and if I do that I must start over.
If I stop the encoder and reconnect from one of the clients, I can pause and
fast forward. I'm recording a live meeting which is simulcasted to our
location. In case we start a few minutes late, I want to be able to pause
the player at the beginning and resume when ready.

I'm I doing this wrong?

Multicast will allow for pausing/ff/rew, but you have to have in enabled on 
your switches etc for it to work.

Subject: Windows Media Services - Pause while recording?

If anyone knows of a good forum/list for this I would be grateful to know.

I have Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise 32bit and am using Windows Media 
Encoder to record audio and video content from a capture card. This is content 
is being recorded to the hard drive and not pushed to Windows Media Services. 
Then I have an On Demand WMS publishing point set up to use the recorded file 
as a source. As far as I can tell, this is how you must proceed if you want to 
use the pause/FF/RW feature of WMP. I can connect from other computers using 
WMP and view the content.

My problem is, I can't pause the content if the recording is still in progress. 
I only have stop as an option and if I do that I must start over. If I stop the 
encoder and reconnect from one of the clients, I can pause and fast forward. 
I'm recording a live meeting which is simulcasted to our location. In case we 
start a few minutes late, I want to be able to pause the player at the 
beginning and resume when ready.

I'm I doing this wrong?

   Is this a real possible threat to the exchange server?

can't see the domain.  I dissolved the NIC team and assigned static IP to NIC
1, no change. I noticed that in the LAN connection properties Client for MS
Netowrks and FP Sharing are unchecked.  When I check them it pops up a box
saying, Your current selection will also disable the following components:

RE: New server can't see domain

2008-07-09 Thread Joseph L. Casale

The OP never said it was a DC?


You never mentioned its membership, I assume it's part of a workgroup still? If 
that's the case don't you need to wait for the browser service to refresh a 
list? What exactly is the behavior your encountering?

If you have teamed the pair of nics, those two items are meant to be unchecked 
on the physical nics.
If they remained unchecked when you dissolved the team, I suspect the hp nic 
software is still assuming control, or something buggy like that has happened.

Before you blow it out, uninstall the nic software (not the driver) and see if 
it works.

and NETDiag tell you? What do the DCs logs tell you about the new
server?   Easy thing to do first is disjoin and rejoin the domain as
long as it's not already a DC.  Logs will tell you the problem.

 

Cheers.

Subject: New server can't see domain

 

I set up a new Win2K3-R2 server recently and while it can ping 
respond, it can't see the domain.  I dissolved the NIC team and assigned
static IP to NIC 1, no change. I noticed that in the LAN connection
properties Client for MS Netowrks and FP Sharing are unchecked.  When I
check them it pops up a box saying, Your current selection will also
disable the following components: (and lists these two).  DISable, but I
checked them to ENable !!!

 

No relevant events.  I'm about ready to blow it away  reinstall, unless
anyone has any suggestions.  It's a ProLiant DL380-G2, updated with
Firmware Maint 8.0.

RE: Major DNS protocol issue effecting most implementations of DNS

2008-07-09 Thread Ken Schaefer

And what if the cache of your upstream is a victim of this attack? :-)

So, yes, internally you probably don't have much to fear (unless you have a 
malicious employee, or someone else has already come in via some other means 
and this is a second part of an attack). But you either need to refer back to 
root servers or upstream DNS servers for other zones, and it's possible that 
they might be compromised (well, probably not the root servers)

Cheers

 So this is pointed more at public name servers, right?  Not internal
 DNS?  I do our internal stuff, but forward everything else to our ISP,
 which is another state agency.

San Recommendations

2008-07-09 Thread Greg Mulholland

Guys

We are in the process of updating our aging and nearly out of warranty Dell 
CX300 SAN. We were looking at the CX3-20 as we currently use FC disks. The 
CX3-20 would allow us to use FC and Sata with ISCI shelves. The SATA/ISCSI will 
be handy for our non production and non critical requirements. We have now 
started to look at HP because they are trying to appease us and i would like to 
know if anyone has any recommendations on HP san models. This office has about 
250-300 users with a pro/non prod requirement for potentially 100tb or near of 
space.

We would also like to preferably keep our FC available for the exchange, sql 
and oracle use that is our core business. Fwiw the majority of our servers are 
broken into vmware ESX hosts (prod and non prod)

Be interested to hear anyone's thoughts.

Greg
