Scheduling, Thread Context, and IRQL
Scheduling, Thread Context, and IRQL December 31, 2020 Abstract This paper presents information about how thread scheduling, thread context, and a processor’s current interrupt request level (IRQL) affect the operation of kernel- mode drivers for the Microsoft® Windows® family of operating systems. It is intended to provide driver writers with a greater understanding of the environment in which their code runs. A companion paper, “Locks, Deadlocks, and Synchronization” at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/driver/LOCKS.mspx, builds on these fundamental concepts to address synchronization issues in drivers.

Advanced static analysis consists of reverse- whether it would be your money, your status or your personal engineering the malware’s internals by loading the executable information etc. MALWARE helps these people into a disassembler and looking at the program instructions in accomplishing their goals. The security of modern computer order to discover what the program does. Advanced static systems depends on the ability by the users to keep software, analysis tells you exactly what the program does. OS and antivirus products up-to-date. To protect legitimate users from these threats, I made a tool B. Dynamic Malware Analysis (ADVANCE DYNAMIC MALWARE ANAYSIS USING API This is done by watching and monitoring the behavior of the HOOKING) that will inform you about every task that malware while running on the host. Virtual machines and software (malware) is doing over your machine at run-time Sandboxes are extensively used for this type of analysis.

Solve Errors Caused by Corrupt System Files
System File Corruption Errors Solved S 12/1 Repair Errors Caused by Missing or Corrupt System Files With the information in this article you can: • Find out whether corrupt system files could be causing all your PC problems • Manually replace missing system files using your Windows installation CD • Use System File Checker to repair broken Windows system files • Boost the memory available to Windows File Protection for complete system file protection Missing or corrupt system files can cause many problems when using your PC, from cryptic error messages to mysterious system crashes. If one of the key files needed by Windows has gone missing or become corrupt, you may think that the only way to rectify the situation is to re-install Windows. Fortunately, nothing that drastic is required, as Microsoft have included several tools with Windows that allow you to replace corrupt or missing files with new, fresh copies directly from your Windows installation CD. Now, whenever you find that an important .DLL file has been deleted or copied over, you won’t have to go to the trouble of completely re-installing your system – simply replace the offending file with a new copy. Stefan Johnson: “One missing file can lead to your system becoming unstable and frequently crashing. You may think that the only way to fix the problem is to re-install Windows, but you can easily replace the offending file with a fresh copy from your Windows installation CD.” • Solve errors caused by corrupt system files ...................

In the sphere of computer security, the term hooking enclose a range of different techniques. These methods are used to alter the behavior of an operating system by intercepting function calls, messages or events passed between software components.

IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures
IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures By Jason Coombs ([email protected]) Introduction This is a book about how to secure Microsoft Internet Information Services for administrators and programmers whose work includes a requirement for information security, a computer industry specialty field commonly referred to as infosec. In this book the terms information security and infosec are used interchangeably with the more friendly term data security. This is not a book about hacking, cracking, and the tools and techniques of the bad guys, the so-called black hat hackers. This book teaches computer professionals and infosec specialists how to build secure solutions using IIS. It is your duty to secure and defend networked information systems for the benefit of the good guys who are your end users, clients, or less technical coworkers. There is nothing you can do that will transform a programmable computer running Microsoft Windows from its vulnerable condition to an invulnerable one. Every general purpose programmable computer is inherently vulnerable because it is controlled by software and is designed to allow new software to be installed or executed arbitrarily. Network computing based on programmable general purpose computers will never be safe from an information security perspective. Eliminating the feature of general purpose programmability from a networked computer and replacing its software with firmware reduces but does not eliminate vulnerabilities. These are immutable realities of present day computing and, as always, reality represents your biggest challenge. Microsoft is in business to get as much of your money as possible using whatever means will work at a given moment and in this respect they know virtually no equal in the software business. -

Masaryk University Faculty of Informatics Identity provisioning to Masaryk University IT services based on Microsoft environment Master’s Thesis Bc. David Štencel Brno, Spring 2019 Masaryk University Faculty of Informatics Identity provisioning to Masaryk University IT services based on Microsoft environment Master’s Thesis Bc. David Štencel Brno, Spring 2019 This is where a copy of the official signed thesis assignment and a copy ofthe Statement of an Author is located in the printed version of the document. Declaration Hereby I declare that this paper is my original authorial work, which I have worked out on my own. All sources, references, and literature used or excerpted during elaboration of this work are properly cited and listed in complete reference to the due source. Bc. David Štencel Advisor: Mgr. Kamil Malinka, Ph.D. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor Mgr. Kamil Malinka, Ph.D. for his professional guidance and experience. Also, I would like to thank Jan Izydorczyk, Mgr. Slávek Licehammer, and the rest of the Office 365 team at ICS for their collaboration, support, and patience during the creation of this master’s thesis. Finally, I would like to thank my family for all their support during my whole studies. iii Abstract The aim of the thesis is to design and implement an interconnection of university identity management system Perun with services run- ning in Microsoft environment. Resultant PowerShell scripts utilizing OpenSSH and PowerShell remoting allow data transmission from Perun to Windows hosts and launching service provisioning scripts. The thesis covers Active Directory and Office 365 as example target services, and a revised PowerShell web proxy that adjusts additional object settings within university Office 365.
