---

Changes:
OpenHPI has 2 different connection libraries: a stand alone version suitable for most purposes, and a client library which connects to an HPI service daemon, and is needed in more demanding environments. openhpi-switcher manages which one is the default on the system. Improved session management in the client library. A new client, hpitree, shows existing resource topology. The IPMI plugin has been ported to work with the latest OpenIPMI 1.4.x library. With this comes fast discovery, physical slot numbers in HPI EntityPath, and overall improved IPMI to HPI mapping.

(v 2) 05/07/2004 01:56 AM
Windows 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…

When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design

In addition to the URL script command issues, this package addresses an issue with the installer that would cause 100% CPU utilization in certain scenarios.

(KB825116) 11/04/2003 11:37 PM
DirectX 9.0b was released on 7/23/03 to address the MIDI security issue identified in bulletin MS03-030. A small number of non-security fixes were also included in the release. One of these fixes caused several TV Tuner capture card/driver combinations using video formats other than NTSC (NTSC-J, PAL, SECAM) to no longer initialize correctly on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. Symptoms include loss of capture functionality and potential inability to set/retain device capture settings. This hotfix, documented further in Knowledge Base article 825116, has been issued to correct the flaw. 11-04-03 update: The English hotfix package has been modified to allow patching of all language installations supported by the affected Operating Systems.

“After plowing through more than 200 pages of documentation about the extensive changes in Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), I wasn’t optimistic about testing the XP SP2 beta. With the introduction of a real firewall; security controls for Distributed COM (DCOM), remote procedure call (RPC), and WWW Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) operations; secure wireless networking; the ability to kill pop-ups; and hands-on management of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) plug-ins, SP2 has more in…

Need A Windows Server Firewall? So Does
Microsoft 03/19/2005 02:22 AM

An article from the Register by Mark Burnett of SecurityFocus has me thinking about Windows Servers. We all know that most hosting servers for websites and ftp servers are Linux-based servers. But Microsoft has been pushing their new Windows Server software as being better then Apache, the Linux server software of choice. This article says that there is no adequate firewall for Windows servers. Check it out and let us know if you think they missed something..

It seems like the solution would be simple enough. I have been patiently waiting for someone to come along with a capable, full-featured Windows firewall so I can stop explaining to everyone why the right way to go is probably Linux with iptables. But my wait has mostly been in vain. Every time I think I have found the ultimate Windows firewall solution, I end up being disappointed in one way or another… There are plenty of personal firewalls out there that work quite well for desktop computers, but they all fall short for server use. Some are obviously better than others, but all are plagued with common problems such as poor logging facilities, limited configuration capabilities, slow performance, and worst of all, many of them seem to be prone to blue screens when traffic gets very high.
