This is related to the discussion. Microsoft is conducting a higher
technical level webcast about Windows Server 2003 security for the
Network Professional Association, webcast open to anyone,
notice/registration posted on the NPA website www.npa.org/webcast2003.

There's a great new white paper on Windows XP/2003 services on
TechNet:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodt
echnol/windowsserver2003/plan/svrxpser.asp

I personally found it quite helpful. In addition to tightening up
security on my systems, it gave me what I needed to goose performance
on
my laptop by turning off many services.

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.
