If I had my way at a large enterprise, I'd only be allowing access via RDP
or ICA through SSL VPNs, preferably with two-factor RSA authentication.

Ideally from thin clients.  I'd happily send them home to employees
preconfigured.

I mentioned to our security team, that tomorrow, we should do an
announcement encouraging our users to update their home systems.  So
they understand how serious this sort of issue is.  We can use this as
a positive opportunity to maybe, just maybe help prevent them from
getting something infected on their system.  They thought it was an

Exactly.  Think of all the poor suckers who install Antivirus XP 2009
without a care in the world.

As soon as that sucker incorporates this exploit, things will get hopping.

I think having firewall enabled by default on Windows XP SP2+ and Windows
Vista will help mitigate the issue in consumer land.

 

Some of the orgs I work in now use router ACLs or FW rules to block RPC
traffic across subnets/VLANs. That will help mitigate the issue as well

RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch to be released today, stay tuned

[Ken Schaefer]

And which part of "some orgs I work in now use router ACLs or FW rules to 
restrict RPC traffic between VLANs" is difficult to understand?

Current organisation I am working in places each LOB application into a 
separate VLAN (of which there are now hundreds) and each VLAN has FW rules that 
permit traffic only from designated infrastructure servers (e.g. DCs for that 
security zone) and from nominated admin workstations. Admin workstations exist 
in VLANs that are similarly restricted from other VLANs.

So, the idea that one VPNed machine can take down the entire enterprise is 
still a possibility, but much more remote. And there is pretty much no VPN 
access anyway - only a handful of users have the necessary access (RSA tokens + 
Citrix access + unfettered traffic)

RE: High Power Wifi

They make antennas and boosters for WIFI. Do a search. Some are very powerful.

Subject: High Power Wifi

As subject,

I need to try and put in a wireless solution that will work in about 30 or so 
rooms over 3 floors in a building that is a house/ museum. If your interested, 
its owned by the guy that created this beast: 
http://corpusclock.co.uk/index.html click the video at the bottom ;) [WS].

We did a site survey today and to simply use normal kit (in my day to day 
experience), its going to take about 20 odd AP's.

Is there a high power solution (or maybe a single box with multiple aerials 
that can be routed out of it) that anyone has any experience with that will 
work.

Price for the right kit (in that it will work) isnt a problem - I dont have a 
limitless budget, but the owner wont stimp if the kit is ok.

Anyone tried this and has any recommends would be great.

Gavin.

Yes, but will it stop an infection from spreading, that's the real question.

Probably not much, it's the net stop workstation that will kick em, and
you might as well disable the Computer BROWSER SERVICE TOO. ( which
might cause them some issues)

So how many of your anti-virus super security suites protect you from
today's critical vulnerability?

You should indeed drop everything and patch. As someone whom has been a
part
of a team that has found more of these types of vulnerabilities than
most
any other organization I can tell you this is extremely serious and
being
that there has not been a good remote SYSTEM in a while of this nature
it is
likely someone will want to write a worm for it simply for nostalgic
sake.

Also this is another example of a zeroday vulnerability being used in
the
wild. Just as I mentioned the other day on the Secunia anti-virus
testing
thread, zeroday attacks are on the rise in a big way and will continue.
This
exploit was being used against many Microsoft customers in the wild for
some
time now. The real number is completely unknown because against most of
the
security you all have in place would never detect this type of an
attack.

of a team that has found more of these types of vulnerabilities than most
any other organization I can tell you this is extremely serious and being
that there has not been a good remote SYSTEM in a while of this nature it is
likely someone will want to write a worm for it simply for nostalgic sake.

Also this is another example of a zeroday vulnerability being used in the
wild. Just as I mentioned the other day on the Secunia anti-virus testing
thread, zeroday attacks are on the rise in a big way and will continue. This
exploit was being used against many Microsoft customers in the wild for some
time now. The real number is completely unknown because against most of the
security you all have in place would never detect this type of an attack.

High Power Wifi

[Gavin Wilby]

As subject,
I need to try and put in a wireless solution that will work in about 30 or
so rooms over 3 floors in a building that is a house/ museum. If your
interested, its owned by the guy that created this beast:
http://corpusclock.co.uk/index.html click the video at the bottom ;) [WS].

We did a site survey today and to simply use normal kit (in my day to
day experience), its going to take about 20 odd AP's.

Is there a high power solution (or maybe a single box with multiple aerials
that can be routed out of it) that anyone has any experience with that will
work.

Price for the right kit (in that it will work) isnt a problem - I dont have
a limitless budget, but the owner wont stimp if the kit is ok.

Anyone tried this and has any recommends would be great.

Gavin.

It also overcomes the issue of any users that may have admin privileges.
Without a Deadline set, they can continue to select install later when
prompted that updates are available.
Of course none of us EVER let anyone on our networks run with admin

force reboot you and u don't have a choice, nor can they kill the

Soo... What's this whole 'Deadline' thing in WSUS, is this one of those
times to use it?  Does it overide users prograstinating about
installs/reboots?

No biggie, I can google it too, but it you have thoughts to share, it

I can click on "Windows XP Service Pack 3" in that bulletin and I am

Same for WS03 SP2.

It also overcomes the issue of any users that may have admin privileges.
Without a Deadline set, they can continue to select install later when
prompted that updates are available.
Of course none of us EVER let anyone on our networks run with admin

Several years ago there was an RPC/DCOM exploit that is similar.  If
your system is connected to a network, and an exploited system can see
it, you can be invited to join the party and help spread the pain.

It took out an enterprise in clean up for 2-3 immediately days.

According to the sunbelt blog, they have copies of the current Trojans.

" Thursday, October 23, 2008
Just some comments on MS08-067

I was stuck in meetings today and didn't get a chance to write much more
than I did earlier.

Just some quick notes on MS08-067.

- We have samples in-house of the trojans in-the-wild that are being
used in targeted attacks, taking advantage of this exploit. These are
currently only targeted attacks, not being used broadly by malware
authors.

- It is not a light thing. The urgency is quite real - unpatched, you've
got the spectre of another SQL Slammer, Code Red type of scenario if the
malware writers create a worm. The other issue with this patch is that
it affects a broad number of systems (XP, Windows 2000 and 2003 -- the
Vista/2008 platform isn't at the same level of risk).

- It is an extraordinary event that pushes Microsoft to do an
out-of-band update. This is a big deal for them - each update is tested
on a vast number of machines. It underscores the potential seriousness
of this vulnerability.

Patch like hell and let's hope everything will be ok in the morning.

They have their own testing of each patch.  Kind of like a safety, in
case it blows something up.

Without a Deadline set, they can continue to select install later when
prompted that updates are available.

Several years ago there was an RPC/DCOM exploit that is similar.  If
your system is connected to a network, and an exploited system can see
it, you can be invited to join the party and help spread the pain.

It took out an enterprise in clean up for 2-3 immediately days.

RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch to be released today, stay tuned

[Kennedy, Jim]

Got it, you pointed me in the right direction, to the right screen. It is 
downloading themI am just being impatient. I always did servers manually, 
WSUS for servers was on the to do list. So I approved a ton of them today to 
get them downloaded. So that is clogging it up. It is about half way done and 
progressing.

TYVM!

It also overcomes the issue of any users that may have admin privileges.
Without a Deadline set, they can continue to select install later when
prompted that updates are available.
Of course none of us EVER let anyone on our networks run with admin

Okay, so with the Blackberry Bold being released November 4th, and about 3 
people want to pick them up here, what do I, as the person who never, ever, 
EVER, had to administer anything having to even remotely do with a blackberry 
need to do to prepare?

Thanks in advance.

It also overcomes the issue of any users that may have admin privileges.
Without a Deadline set, they can continue to select install later when
prompted that updates are available.
Of course none of us EVER let anyone on our networks run with admin

RE: Blackberry Bold Administration

[Jim Majorowicz]

You get the first CAL free with the purchase of any Blackberry.  There are
other restrictions.  It's great if you know you're never going to support
more than 30 phones or need the attachment/application service.  Otherwise
go with BES.  Converting to BES from Pro is a pain.

 

Also, although it says you can install on SBS, avoid if possible if you have
one.  That's another pain.

You can probably get away with Blackberry Professional instead of BES.  I
think it is free when you purchase one CAL from BB.  It is fairly new.

Re: DNS Scavenging

[Shamika Fehr]

Perfect! According to this site, I have to have it enabled at both the server 
and zone level before any deletions will occur. That answered my question.

Thanks!

Everything I’ve read sounds like the per-zone setting would override the server 
setting. Looks like you have to enable it at the server level in order to be 
able to configure it at the zone level.
 
Let us know when you find out for sure.

I am configuring DNS Scavenging and have a pretty good understanding of the 
settings that I will be adjusting. Now I am trying to determine at which level 
to configure it. I understand that I can enable and configure scavenging at the 
server level for all zones, or enable and configure scavenging on a zone by 
zone basis. If I want to enable scavenging for all but one zone, can I 
configure it at the server level (globally) and then disable it for that one 
zone or will the global settings (server level) override the zone settings? 
This hasn't been made clear in anything I've read so far.  Thanks for your help.

They are on the network.  I am totally new to LDAP.  Can you provide some

My son is the lead hacker at a very prominent security firm. They have

down right now and patching.

Re: Current Document Management Systems

[Joe Fox]

We are using KnowledgeTree.  They have both a paid and community supported
version.  The paid for version has some tools for placing documents into the
DMS directly from Microsoft Office, as well as a WebDAV client.

We were able to deploy and use the Community version within 30 minutes of
downloading and running their installer stack which includes Apache, MySQL,
PHP, and the remaining libraries.  Comes in Windows and Linux flavors.

HTH.

Its out and its NASTY//

MS08-067, publically being exploited right now, unauthenticted remote
code execution against the server service, smells like a network worm
with mass exploitation vulnerabilities to me.

Happy patch Thrusday, just hope you don't get hacked by Friday...

I just pulled it via WSUS and deployed to these platforms, still testing LOB
apps (so far no problems):

WS2003 R2 with SP2 - VMWare Server
Vista SP1 23bit - Dell Precision T3400
Windows XP SP3 - Dell Precision 380
 Windows XP SP3 - VMWare workstation

More testing as we um read - am focusing on servers for now, but will deploy
to all by Fri.  I hope...

DNS Scavenging

[Shamika Fehr]

I am configuring DNS Scavenging and have a pretty good understanding of the 
settings that I will be adjusting. Now I am trying to determine at which level 
to configure it. I understand that I can enable and configure scavenging at the 
server level for all zones, or enable and configure scavenging on a zone by 
zone basis. If I want to enable scavenging for all but one zone, can I 
configure it at the server level (globally) and then disable it for that one 
zone or will the global settings (server level) override the zone settings? 
This hasn't been made clear in anything I've read so far.  Thanks for your help.

What part of the above post don't you understand? You simply confirmed what he 
said.

You get cancellation if *both* (single phase) conductors are in the jaws. As he 
said, and as your manual says, you must measure an isolated conductor.

Yeah kind of the opposite here.  ATT cannot seem to get a signal for
anything, but Verizon is good.

 

At least you don't have a CEO saying he wants his new Android phone to work

Still not on MU for Server 2003, hopefully soon. I have it installed on a large

MS08-067, publically being exploited right now, unauthenticted remote

RE: Out of Cycle Critical Windows Patch to be released today, stay tuned

[Ziots, Edward]

Its out and its NASTY//

MS08-067, publically being exploited right now, unauthenticted remote
code execution against the server service, smells like a network worm
with mass exploitation vulnerabilities to me. 

Happy patch Thrusday, just hope you don't get hacked by Friday...

Chaps,

Does anyone know where the setting is to turn off the text thats added to
the bottom of an email in ESET NOD32 when using the RA ? I can do it on each
machine locally by going in to the advanced settings. However I cant find
the setting in the config when managing the install in the Remote
Administrator. I’ve tried changing it locally, then using RA to receive the
configuration and then applying that configuration to the other machines on
the network, but that doesn’t work. 

I cant believe that that setting is a local only one, as its, well, free
advertising on a paid for product.

RE: Windows 2003 RMS and Word 2007

[Troy Meyer]

WRM server has a certificate that is recognized by the client as trusted?

Client is running the WRM client SP2 ?

Personal Opinion, if this is a new install, go with W2K8 and the WRM service 
there.  There are a couple nice things with management and ability to integrate 
with outside directories that make it worth-while.  Plus WRM once installed 
hangs out for a LONG time so if you get the newest now it's easier to get 
support in two years when something breaks.

(soz forgot to change the subject line when I re-used an old email I was 
looking at)



Hi gang,



Im trying to test out Windows 2003 RMS here so that our Word docs are given a 
level of protection against being emailed out.



I've followed the step by step insttructions to install it on our 2003 server. 
It's the only server here in our small office. Everything has gone to plan and 
it all appeared to install first time. However, when I try the Word part of the 
test which involves creating and save a test doc, clicking the Office button in 
Word then choosing Prepare and then Restrict Permission and then Restrict 
Access, it goes wrong. Rather than showing me the options to restrict access, 
it asks me whether i want to sign up for a trial with the MS RMS service.



I've registered the RMS SCP in Active Directory using the RMS management page 
on the server, and I cant see any errors on the workstation that relate to not 
being able to find it etc.



Any ideas why I'm not seeing the options to restrict access ?

DIESCUM is no longer recommended for recovery from infections.  I created it
so I can say that authoritatively.  

Time to move on - the only reliable (and still free) recovery is "nuke and
pave".

I will say this, I've heard good things about Malwarebytes for cleaning up
after infection.  They still think they can do it, and maybe they are
successful a lot of the time - certainly their solution is far faster than
DIESCUM ever was.

It's better than free because it's faster!  At least if you have the right 
deployment tools setup up.  I can image a PC in 3 minutes, have deployed in 
about 20 minutes.  I'm sure cleaning a Virus takes much longer than that!
