Fortunately, You Can Create a Registry Shortcut That Clearsthe Run Command's MRU List Fortunately, you can create a registry shortcut that clearsthe Run command's MRU list. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). 2. Go toHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\M45464564icrosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Explorer\RunMRU. 3. Right-click the RunMRU key andselect Export. 4. Name the REG file Clear Run MRU, click the Save button,and close the Registry Editor. 5. Open the Clear Run MRU.regfile in Notepad. 6. Add a minus sign to the beginning of the key name justinside the square brackets. 7. Delete all lines that follow the line containing the keypath. 8. Save the file and closeNotepad. 9. Reboot Windows (or at least log off and then log back on)in order for this change to become effective. Now, any time you want to clearthe Run command's MRU list, simply locate and double-click the Clear Run MRU.reg file. When you do so, the Registry Editor willdisplay two dialog boxes: one that prompts you to confirm the operation, andthe other to let you know the operation was successful. Notes: Editing the registry is risky, so be sureyou have a verified backup before saving any changes. This tip applies to both Windows XP Homeand Professional ed Do you use the Run feature in Windows XP? For most, this feature remains unused (or rarely used). Why is that? Well, First off nearly all of the Run Commands Correspond to a particular Control Panel Item or a Utility, Tool or Task that can be accessed through Windows. There are, however, tools and utilities that I bet you never knew you had that can be accessed through the Run feature. The main reason most people don't use the Run feature is because they don't know the Commands. So, to solve that problem, I decided to put together the following listing, which lists 99 Run Commands and what they correspond too... 1 To Access… Run Command 2 Accessibility Controls access.cpl 3

  • Strategies of Computer Worms
    304543_ch09.qxd 1/7/05 9:05 AM Page 313 CHAPTER 9 Strategies of Computer Worms “Worm: n., A self-replicating program able to propagate itself across network, typically having a detrimental effect.” —Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Revised Tenth Edition 313 304543_ch09.qxd 1/7/05 9:05 AM Page 314 Chapter 9—Strategies of Computer Worms 9.1 Introduction This chapter discusses the generic (or at least “typical”) structure of advanced computer worms and the common strategies that computer worms use to invade new target systems. Computer worms primarily replicate on networks, but they represent a subclass of computer viruses. Interestingly enough, even in security research communities, many people imply that computer worms are dramatically different from computer viruses. In fact, even within CARO (Computer Antivirus Researchers Organization), researchers do not share a common view about what exactly can be classified as a “worm.” We wish to share a common view, but well, at least a few of us agree that all computer worms are ultimately viruses1. Let me explain. The network-oriented infection strategy is indeed a primary difference between viruses and computer worms. Moreover, worms usually do not need to infect files but propagate as standalone programs. Additionally, several worms can take con- trol of remote systems without any help from the users, usually exploiting a vul- nerability or set of vulnerabilities. These usual characteristics of computer worms, however, do not always hold. Table 9.1 shows several well-known threats. Table

  • Windows Tool Reference
    AppendixChapter A1 Windows Tool Reference Windows Management Tools This appendix lists sets of Windows management, maintenance, configuration, and monitor- ing tools that you may not be familiar with. Some are not automatically installed by Windows Setup but instead are hidden away in obscure folders on your Windows Setup DVD or CD- ROM. Others must be downloaded or purchased from Microsoft. They can be a great help in using, updating, and managing Windows. We’ll discuss the following tool kits: ■ Standard Tools—Our pick of handy programs installed by Windows Setup that we think are unappreciated and not well-enough known. ■ Support Tools—A set of useful command-line and GUI programs that can be installed from your Windows Setup DVD or CD-ROM. ■ Value-Added Tools—Several more sets of utilities hidden away on the Windows Setup CD-ROM. ■ Windows Ultimate Extras and PowerToys for XP—Accessories that can be downloaded for free from microsoft.com. The PowerToys include TweakUI, a program that lets you make adjustments to more Windows settings than you knew existed. ■ Resource Kits—A set of books published by Microsoft for some versions of Windows that includes a CD-ROM containing hundreds of utility programs. What you may not have known is that in some cases you can download the Resource Kit program toolkits with- out purchasing the books. ■ Subsystem for UNIX-Based Applications (SUA)—A package of network services and command-line tools that provide a nearly complete UNIX environment. It can be installed only on Windows Vista Ultimate and Enterprise, and Windows Server 2003.
