20.11.2006Windows registry forensics guide: Investigating hacker activities
When analysing a compromised Windows system, investigators and system administrators can glean enormously useful information about attackers' actions
by looking through the Windows registry, a hierarchical database storing tens of thousands of settings on a modern Windows box. Whether an outside
attacker compromised the box, an inside employee engaged in nefarious activities, or malware inexplicably infected the machine, the Windows registry
contains wonderful gems of information for investigators. In this tip, we'll look at what information investigators can gather about user activity
via the registry. Next month, we'll focus on how investigators can pull useful registry information associated with the overall operating system.

Microsoft has revealed a few more details about Windows 7 E, the version of their next operating system that will be released in Europe without
Internet Explorer. The information is primarily focused at developers who may be affected when creating applications that use Internet Explorer based
controls but also provides some more general information. The details, posted on the Windows 7 for Developers blog, reveal that using Windows 7 E
will be similar to using the full version of Windows 7 but with the Internet Explorer component disabled. This is also how they suggest that
developers can test their software for compatibility with Windows 7 E, as builds of it are currently unavailable to testers.

13.07.2009Microsoft Windows Vista: Clear
The Windows Vista visual
experience improves clarity,
productivity, and focus. For
example, instead of static,
generic icons for files, in
Windows Vista file icons are
live—each file icon
shows you the actual content
of that file, making it easier
for you to locate the
information that you want.
Windows Vista also introduces
a new way to organize your
information, so that you can
store, manage, find, and
organize the data that you
work with every day however
you want to. You'll make the
most of your time—and
have more time for new ideas,
to solve problems, to be
artistic, or just to relax and
be entertained...

15.09.2005What's In Your Registry?
One frequent TV commercial asks, "What's in your wallet?" I ask: What's in your computer that could expose sensitive data? Last week, I searched
my Windows Vista registry and turned up some disturbing stuff.
I found some surprising personal information there, such as name,
address and phone number; online account user names; software registration codes; and information identifying some online accounts. I wasn't looking
for any of this information. My search had initially been for something else. But the discovery of this information greatly disturbed me.
To be absolutely clear, none of this information was put there by Windows Vista. Third-party software or services were the culprits.
Andrew Jaquith, Yankee Group program manager for Security Research, said that the Windows registry makes "application developers' lives
easier. It provides a centralized API
for reading and writing configuration settings. Instead of worrying about lots of
parsing and modifying .INI files scattered all over the hard disk, all you'd need to do is make a few Win32 API calls, and Windows takes care of
managing all of that information for you."

Configuring Windows Server 2008 as a Remote Access SSL VPN Server (Part 1)
Remote Access is one of todays big things. As an increasing number of people need access to information stored on work and home computers, the
ability to access that information from anywhere is critical. Gone are the days when you could say Ill get that information to you when I get to my
computer. You need that information now if you want to be competitive in todays business environment.
In the stone age of
computing, the way to remotely access information on your computer was to use a dial-up connection. RAS dial-up connections worked over regular POTS
(Plain Old Telephone Service) lines and had speeds that ranged up to around 56kbps. Speed was a major problem with dial-up RAS connections, but an
even bigger problem was the cost of the connections when a long distance number was required for access.

Windows 7, for the most part, has remained fairly mysterious so far. Granted, we wouldn't expect anything different since it's still years ahead
from being released, but it's always good to get bits of information sprinkled here and there. The new Engineering Windows 7 (E7 for short) blog,
which was created by engineering managers Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky, points out two upcoming conferences in which "in-depth technical
information about Windows 7" will be revealed. The Professional Developers Conference (PDC) on October 27 will the first of the two, and the
aforementioned duo has promised to keep a steady stream of details flowing on their blog during the run-up.

Genuine Advantage is all

mentioned that the first time

check, Microsoft's servers
collect the following
information:
The Windows XP product key,
PC Manufacturer, Operating
system version, PC BIOS
information and User locale
setting and language.
In the past WGA
pinged your system everyday to
see if your notifications are
running, not if you're valid.
This changed on June 8th
where it now pings your system

Microsoft, no identifying
system or user information is
sent to Microsoft as part of
this check.
