Re: Windows 2003 Server - MS Rulez?

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.
