    I also liked the feature that Windows Server 2003 does not run unnessary
    services. I found the launch event to be very educational and the security
    issues to be well addressed.

    The hash (most commonly MD5 or SHA) is known as a one-way algorithm and
    is very difficult to reverse. I would think this method is rather secure
    in that respect.

    Subject: Windows 2003 Server - MS Rulez?

    Hello list. Today I have attended to official presentation of Microsoft
    Windows 2003 Server. And the representatives of Microsoft gave to my
    organisation an evaluation version of 2003 Server. That thing looks very
    secure, i.e. known methods of attack did not gave a damn thing. Also I
    learned an interesting feature - prohibition of launch of any program is
    not made by its exe name - it makes a hash from the body of program and
    politics are applied using this hash. I wonder whether this method is
    secure and if there are any ways to defeat it.

    Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.
