  • Microsoft Windows 95 Reviewer’S Guide
    1 CHAPTER 10 Systems Management Windows 95 is the first version of Windows expressly designed for manageability. The design ensures that management of the Windows 95 PC is accessible both locally and remotely via a privileged network manager. Network security is used to determine administrator-privileged accounts using pass-through security. Windows 95 also provides for PC users to be logically separated from the underlying configuration of their PCs so that the PC and user configurations and privileges can be managed independently. As a result, network managers can allow users to “rove” on the network—that is, log on from virtually any PC on the network and then operate from a desktop that has the correct settings and network privileges. The logical separation also means that a single PC can be shared by multiple users, each with a different desktop configuration and different network privileges. Given the proliferation of PCs connected to corporate networks, the Windows 95 PC must be able to participate in any network-wide management schemes. Windows 95 is designed to meet various network management criteria by providing built-in support for several of the key network management standards. With this infrastructure built into Windows 95, network management applications will be able to provide tools for network managers to keep PCs and networks running more efficiently and cost effectively. Open management interfaces are key to the management implementation in Windows 95. Where a standard exists, Windows 95 implements an enabling technology to embrace the standard—for example, an SNMP agent is supplied to enable remote management of Windows 95 PCs via any number of third-party SNMP consoles.

  • 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
