In regard to today's article on the front page on FLASH...

ThC 129

this seems to be a lose-lose situation. Most sites require the use of flash in some way, but at the same time leaving it enabled causes the said security hole. .

duhmez

This is critical, and if you don't you will get hacked into next week!! Use netbeui for netbios on your lan, (ON XP it's on the cd in the valueadd folder), or disable netbios over TCP/IP on your internet connected nic and leave it enabled on your lan nic.

zone alarm free freezes :)

Tom-boy

why does this happen? My config is the same, only some drivers have been loaded or upgraded and now the ZA takes a minute or two to start up, when previously it went off in a whizz. Time for a new firewall, perhaps (I seriosuly hope not)?.

Clear text password in NET USE command

Atreyu

In an app I'm writing, I'm using the NET USE command with domain specific login credentials to map drives to shares on a couple DEV servers at work. Is there a way to send the password accross the network with encryption rather than clear text when using the command-line to map network drives?.

Server Attacks Stump Microsoft

Christianb

After reading this article I find it more than a little funny that Microsoft is unable to tell why specific Windows 2000 systems are being hacked. They don't know whether an old vulnerability is being exploited, because they can't tell whether or not all the existing security patches have been installed.
