Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2
(v 2)
05/07/2004 01:56 AMWindows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), currently a Release Candidate in Beta
testing, includes significant enhancements to the Windows Firewall
component, previously known as the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
Windows Firewall is a stateful host-based firewall that discards
unsolicited incoming traffic, providing a level of protection for
computers against malicious users or programs. To provide better
protection for computers connected to any kind of network (such as the
Internet, a home network, or an organization network), Windows XP SP2
enables Windows Firewall on all network connections by default. This
new behavior can impair some types of communications. This article
describes how to deploy the appropriate configuration settings for
Windows Firewall on an organization network so that it is enabled and
providing protection, and so that communications are not impaired.

“Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), now in Beta testing,
includes the new Windows Firewall, previously known as the Internet
Connection Firewall (ICF). Windows Firewall is a stateful host-based
firewall that drops all unsolicited incoming traffic that does not
correspond to either traffic sent in response to a request of the
computer (solicited traffic) or unsolicited traffic that has been
specified as allowed (excepted traffic). Windows Firewall provides a
level of protection from malicious users…

12/31/2003 02:30 PMSecurity Pipeline obtained access to the first widespread beta of
Microsoft's forthcoming Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) during the
holidays. Microsoft has said that this beta represents a subset of
what will be released when this software is finalized sometime during
the first half of 2004.
We tested the new software on a couple of test machines, and found it
to be very reliable during a couple of days use. It's not recommended
that you install this beta in a production environment, however.

Dan Gillmor reports that after all of the work it took to get XP
SP2 out the door, it still has a bug in it. I guess that this proves
that we can patch this up all we want, but like with any OS, there are
going to be holes needing attention….

“However, the highly anticipated upgrade is not yet available
to end users. Microsoft is announcing only its release to
manufacturing, and expects it to be posted on the vendor’s
Windows download site by early next week. What’s more, the
company is urging individual users to avoid downloading it, because
anticipated traffic jams are likely to produce timeouts or other
problems. Rather, users should wait for the update to come to
them.”…

Windows XP Service Pack Security: Uh Oh
08/27/2004 01:27 PMPC Magazine: Windows XP
SP2 Has a Dangerous Hole. Windows XP Service Pack 2 promises to
raise the security bar for the sometimes beleaguered operating system.
Unfortunately, one of the new features could be spoofed so that it
reports misleading information about system security, or worse, lets a
malicious program watch for an opportunity to do damage without being
detected.
Robert Scoble gave me a
hard
time when I advised people to wait a little while to install SP2.
I'm still waiting a little longer. (Of course, I have a serious
firewall already installed, and take other security measures, and one
of the reasons to use SP2 is its enhanced security features, which are
clearly better than what Microsoft was selling in XP and XP SP1.)

Comments on Windows XP Service Pack 2
08/09/2004 05:56 AMAs we reported yesterday,
Service Pack 2 for Windows XP has finally been
released and is now available for people to download and install on
their systems. The file, at just over 250 Megs, is a hefty download
yet is packed with new updates well worth getting (Microsoft will
allow people to order a CD with it on in due course).
The install took about 5-10 minutes, yet clearly this figure will vary
from system to system. After installing and rebooting XP asked me to
turn on automatic updates (even before reaching windows). An excellent
move on Microsoft's behalf, and one that serves to highlights a
growing commitment to security and user safety. On the first run,
Microsoft also loads up the new Security Center. The Security Center
monitors your Antivirus, Firewall, and Auto Update situation. If it
detects anything that is potentially damaging or hazardous, it will
prompt you with a warning and give you advice on how to resolve the
issue. Microsoft has saved a lot of hassle for users in that if you
have Zone Alarm installed, they leave the Windows Firewall off to
prevent conflicts.
Less importantly for a Firefox user like me, Internet Explorer has
been updated and the new features seem helpful. It seems somewhat
nippier that before, and with additions like pop-up blocking make it a
slightly more attractive prospect than before; however, it still lacks
features like tabbed browsing and standards compliancy that still make
some of the new features mute points. To really start winning back
people, Microsoft need to get IE 7 out the door with these features
(
Before longhorn though?).
Asides from these major additions, there are many more subtle changes
that XP SP2 has brought in (NX code, improved security and stability).
As a user, my computer does seem to be doing tasks a bit faster. The
only minor problem; XP re-installed MS Messenger (to be expected), yet
continued to load it up
even though MSN Messenger is running!
Silently wasting 5 megs of Ram, it's annoying, but
thankfully removable. I haven't had any of the
problems that a few people have mentioned, and would thus recommend
SP2 to all.

Torrent for Windows XP Service Pack 2
08/09/2004 04:48 PMMicrosoft needs to distribute its new Win XP Service Pack 2 to 260
million Windows users at 75MB each. Moving a wodge that big to that
many machines is too much even for the biggest software company on the
planet. So the folks at Downhill Battle have seized upon this as an
opportunity to prove the substantial noninfringing uses of P2P by
releasing a .torrent of SP@ (complete with checksum info so that you
can verify that this isn't some malware-riddled trojan, except to the
extent that it is a typical piece of the Windows XP OS). Join the
mesh, shoulder the load, get your medicine -- the 21st Century way.

10:08am this morning we signed off on build 2180 as Windows XP Service
Pack 2, releasing it to manufacturing. The final build will be
available to beta sites immediately at
http://windowsbeta.microsoft.com/download/dl3.asp. You will find both
English and German versions there, Japanese will follow early next
week.
Next week the service pack will be available on the Microsoft Download

available to you via the beta web site.
If you are running RC2, or any other build released to beta sites, we
invite you to turn on Automatic Updates, and starting on August 10th
your system will automatically download the express version of Windows
XP SP2. For typical home users this is about a 75 MB download; for
those on RC2 it should be less than 30 MB. "
