Unintended Consequences of Security Lockdowns (uses Sysinternals utilities a lot) Security-conscious organizations often lock down their systems based on prescriptive guidance from Microsoft, US Federal government agencies or other security organizations. Sometimes these settings can lead to unpleasant surprises and unexpected side effects. This session describes and demonstrates some of the common issues that can arise, and whether and how those settings actually help or hurt. Is there benefit to not granting Administrators the “Debug” privilege? Does “Hide mechanisms to remove zone information” break anything? Is the “Require trusted path for credential entry” setting worth the inconvenience? Come see!

The thesis is equivalent to 20 weeks of full time studies. The authors declare that they are the sole authors of this thesis and that they have not used any sources other than those listed in the bibliography and identified as references. They further declare that they have not submitted this thesis at any other institution to obtain a degree. Contact Information: Author(s): Oskar Eliasson E-mail: [email protected] Lukas Ädel E-mail: [email protected] University advisor: Professor of Computer Engineering, Håkan Grahn Department of Computer Science Faculty of Computing Internet : www.bth.se Blekinge Institute of Technology Phone : +46 455 38 50 00 SE–371 79 Karlskrona, Sweden Fax : +46 455 38 50 57 Abstract Background. The main problem that our master thesis is trying to reduce is mal- ware infection. One method that can be used to accomplish this goal is based on the fact that most malware does not want to get caught by security programs and are actively trying to avoid them. To not get caught malware can check for the existence of security-related programs and artifacts before executing malicious code and depending on what they find, they will evaluate if the computer is worth in- fecting.

  • Multiband Plasma-Process Monitor C10346-01
    Multiband plasma-process monitor C10346-01 C10346-01 is a multiband plasma process monitor designed for real-time, monitoring of wide spectrum. Monitoring Plasma (Emission Spectrum) in Real-Time C10346-01 is a monitoring system to detect wide spectrum plasma emission during the process of etching, spattering and CVD in semiconductor manufacturing . With the various analysis functions, it can be used for setting up end-point detection conditions and automatic detection of etching and cleaning, estimation of plasma species and monitoring (plasma) contamination and abnormal discharges. Features Simultaneous measurements of wide (plasma) spectrum Easy measurement using optical fibers Captures wide spectrum (emission) from (plasma) radicals or ions. The equipped optical fiber can be easily attached to plasma C10346-01 : 200 nm to 950 nm chambers through a SMA connector widely used. Real-time plasma (emission) measurement Operation with multiple chambers Continuously measures up to 15 000 spectra at an interval of 20 ms A single analysis unit can control up to four C10346-01 (50 ms with concurrent running of detection software) Multiband plasma-process monitor via a USB 2.0 interface. Highly accurate and reliable measurements Data acquisition software A high resolution spectrometer and a ultra-high sensitive photo The data acquisition software stores the spectrum data into detector are firmly locked in position to assure the acquisition of the database during plasma process. This stored data can accurate spectrum and precise spectrum responsivity data then be used for spectrum data calculations. through sharply focused plasma emission spectrum images. Optional software High-sensitivity detection in UV spectrum region High sensitive endpoint detection and real-time monitoring of Detects the UV spectrum region from 200 nm with high process abnormality are achieved by creating ''detection model''.

  • JTB Process Monitor
    JTB Process Monitor About JTB Process Monitor makes it possible to monitor usage of more applications than the core JTB FlexReport handles. There is a service part and a client part of Process Monitor. You need to first install the service and configure it and then install the client and configure it. The data is saved into the JTB FlexReport core database and reports on the usage can be done in the normal way. This means that JTB FlexReport Core and JTB FlexReport Chart Service/Client also need to be installed. The client computer to monitor does not need to be connected to the network all the time. It still can monitor the usage and when connected again it will send back the data to the server. The client-server solution is based on WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) and XML Web services. System requirements .NET Framework 4.0 or newer is needed for the service and client. Other than that most Windows operating systems are supported like Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported. One limitation is that processes that run in Windows compatibility mode cannot be monitored. Installation of Service The service needs to be installed on one location and it is recommended to be on the same computer where JTB FlexReport’s other services are installed as it needs to save the usage to the JTB FlexReport database. For a trial it can be installed on a workstation if that is easier for the evaluation.

  • What Are Kernel-Mode Rootkits?
    www.it-ebooks.info Hacking Exposed™ Malware & Rootkits Reviews “Accessible but not dumbed-down, this latest addition to the Hacking Exposed series is a stellar example of why this series remains one of the best-selling security franchises out there. System administrators and Average Joe computer users alike need to come to grips with the sophistication and stealth of modern malware, and this book calmly and clearly explains the threat.” —Brian Krebs, Reporter for The Washington Post and author of the Security Fix Blog “A harrowing guide to where the bad guys hide, and how you can find them.” —Dan Kaminsky, Director of Penetration Testing, IOActive, Inc. “The authors tackle malware, a deep and diverse issue in computer security, with common terms and relevant examples. Malware is a cold deadly tool in hacking; the authors address it openly, showing its capabilities with direct technical insight. The result is a good read that moves quickly, filling in the gaps even for the knowledgeable reader.” —Christopher Jordan, VP, Threat Intelligence, McAfee; Principal Investigator to DHS Botnet Research “Remember the end-of-semester review sessions where the instructor would go over everything from the whole term in just enough detail so you would understand all the key points, but also leave you with enough references to dig deeper where you wanted? Hacking Exposed Malware & Rootkits resembles this! A top-notch reference for novices and security professionals alike, this book provides just enough detail to explain the topics being presented, but not too much to dissuade those new to security.” —LTC Ron Dodge, U.S.
