Did you know you can write 'applets' in .NET? If you have
.NET Framework installed,
look at your Internet Explorer's Internet zone security settings,
specifically the
.NET Framework-reliant components section. Unless you changed
your security
settings, your IE is configured to silently download and run both
code written in
.NET. It doesn't matter whether the code is signed with
Authenticode or not.
A good example of .NET applets/controls -- note that Microsoft
probably calls
them something else (web controls?) -- is this VG.net
demo. VG.net is a pure .NET vector drawing library.
BTW, you'll need
Windows, IE, and .NET Framework to see the demo. Once you
have seen the demo,
View Source of the web page. It has nothing but reference to
a style sheet and
an object tag.
The style sheet is just used to stretch the object tag to fill the
page. The
object tag references a DLL, WebControls.dll, located at
myxml.com website.
IE loads the 'applet', notes that it's a .NET library, checks IE
security settings,
and runs the DLLs inside a sandbox of sort for security sake.
A brief visit to the .NET Runtime Security Policy reveals
that, for the Internet
zone, .NET 'applets' can use File Open dialog, paint into the
'safe' top-level windows
(probably means the window they instantiated in), print 'safely'
(huh?), and are given
10K of domain-specific isolated storage as well as a private
clipboard, size of which
may or may not be counted toward that 10K. I am not sure
whether the isolated
storage is persistent or not.
I am not too worried about the Internet zone security policy, but
the security policy
for LocalIntranet zone does raises some concerns. For
example, there is no UI
restrictions at all and isolated storage size limit is set to some
huge number.
Note that I haven't figured out the specific implications of these
settings yet and
I doubt Microsoft engineers haven't vetted the sanity of the
default security settings.
So I think it's early to sound any alarm. But I am intrigued
and disturbed.

02/11/2004 01:19 AMWhen 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

11/04/2003 11:37 PMDirectX 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

patching of all language installations supported by the affected

Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for

(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.

Toolkit to Temporarily Block Delivery of

08/11/2004 01:18 AMWhile recognizing the security benefits of Windows XP SP2, some
organizations have requested the ability to temporarily disable
delivery of this update via Automatic Updates (AU) and Windows Update
(WU). These organizations have populations of PCs, upon which they
have enabled AU. This is done to ensure that these PCs receive all
critical security updates. Since SP2 will start to be delivered to PCs
running Windows XP or Windows XP with SP1 via AU starting on August
16, these customers would like to temporarily block the delivery of
SP2 in order to provide additional time for validation and testing of
the update. In response to these requests, Microsoft is providing this
set of tools.
Please note that the mechanism to temporarily disable delivery of
Windows XP SP2 will be available for a period of 120 days (4 months)
from August 16. At the end of this period, Windows XP SP2 will be
delivered to all Windows XP and Windows XP Service Pack 1 systems.
