Security Center Spoofing Threat
08/27/2004 02:05 PMWindows 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. The feature is the
Windows Security Center (WSC), which displays the status ( (Figure 1)
)of the key elements of your defenses: Firewall, Updates, and
Antivirus. If your firewall has been disabled, or your antivirus is
out of date, that news will display here. The information is stored in
an internal database managed by the Windows Management Instrumentation
(WMI) subsystem built into Windows.

script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script

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

Windows, WPA2, and Wi-Fi Security
06/05/2005 10:56 PM Brian Livingston has filed an exhaustive article about Windows and
Wi-Fi security at Windows Secrets Newsletter: Brian interviewed me for
the article, which was entertaining as we sorted out a lot of the
issues about WEP and WPA, and his article is an incredibly clear set
of the best advice I've seen on the topic. Every Windows user
employing Wi-Fi needs to read his article and make sure you've done
what he suggests. One of the conclusions I reached while being
interviewed by Brian is that WEP truly is dead. There are WEP
algorithms in updated firmware that eschew the weak initialization
vectors that make it trivial for a cracker with free, simple software
to extract a WEP key. But there's no way a consumer could possibly
know whether a given device had strong or weak IVs. Further, a single
network device with weak IVs makes a WEP-protected network vulnerable.
So I have to agree with Brian: there's no reliable way for the average
person to use WEP and not have vulnerability that can exploited in
seconds to minutes. If you don't live near anyone else at all, WEP (or
no security) may still be viable. Otherwise, WPA or WPA2, and WPA
Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise is even better....

folks.
Symantec has also warned about a second vulnerability in a Windows
component called "LoadImage" that is used to load desktop icons,
cursors, or bitmap images. A flaw in the way LoadImage processes image
files could allow malicious hackers to use specially crafted images to
trigger an overflow and place their own code on vulnerable machines.
Images that trigger the flaw could be sent in e-mail messages or
downloaded from Web pages controlled by the hackers, Symantec
said.

talking up features designed to make computer use easier and more fun.
The prosaically named Windows XP Service Pack 2 is starkly different.
