The best kind of desktop is a secure desktop. As you all know, hackers are a tricky bunch. You have to go beyond Symantec Antivirus and actually lock Windows down if you want to make sure your computing environment is actually secure. A few weeks ago our network guy saw some suspicious traffic on our network. We all stopped what we were doing and tried to help him figure out what was going on. It looked like a virus, a trojan, and a worm all wrapped into one. After lots of hunting and troubleshooting he was able to figure out that it was normal traffic. We changed some settings on our servers and desktops to prevent the problem in the future and to make them more secure. I thought I would share some of our security settings with the Juice Community.
I had seen dozens of articles that suggested I turn off autorun, but I never did it. If you have an infected USB key, CD or DVD disk, ZIP disk (do you remember those?) and you insert it into your device, autorun will infect your machine. I disabled autorun in two different ways:
In this case I like to have double security. I really want to make sure that autorun is actually turned off. The first key disables autorun for all devices (with the use of different values in the DWORD you can disable autorun on USB keys only, for example). The second key disables the file (Autorun.inf) that Windows reads to autorun something. Between these two, you will be mighty safe.
Did you know that you can remotely edit registries? I found out this a few years back. It is great that the system admin can do something like that, but we don't want a hacker doing that, do we. Use this registry key to turn off remote registry editing:
After this key is set, the user is not allowed to add a registry key. If they install software they still can. You can also drop registry keys on the machine using SVS layers, RIPs, and using Wise Package Studio.
There are a few default shares on every computer. After the scare I talked about above, we decided that we don't even want the default shares enabled. The following registry key will disable these shares: ADMIN$, C$, D$ -
There is one more share that is hanging around. It is called IPC$. To turn this one off, you have to disable the "Server Service" on your machine. You can do it by using this script at the command prompt:
There are a few places that I lock down on the desktop. These security measures are meant for public machines only. Some of the settings would drive a normal user crazy, and some make sense. You will have to decide how much you want to annoy your users. Here are the "Display Properties" settings I like to tweak:
This is a good place to stop. There are many more settings that I have use to keep my desktop secure. In the next article we will talk about a number of topics, including how to lock down the control panel and how to push these settings out to the computers you manage. All of these keys have helped secure our desktops. The more settings that we have implemented the more problems we have prevented. I never thought about it until now, but if you take a few minutes to push out these settings out to your computers you will be saving tons of time (and I mean weeks of time). Avoiding a virus is much better than getting infected (but, I am typing to the choir right now..).
Some of you are probably thinking that XP is way too old to worry about. I disagree. We have decided to use XP until we can get our arms around Windows 7. Also, you probably are supporting several OSes in your environment. A lot of these keys will probably work in Vista and in Windows 7. If they don't, at least you will know what to look for. Finally, some of you are probably thinking that these are all group policies that can be set from Active Directory. You are correct. To help users get logged in faster (especially on public machines) I push as many settings to the client as I can. If you have any questions about what we have discussed in this article please drop me a line in the comment section. Until next time...I have attached all of the registry keys and scripts to this document for your securing pleasure.
Most of these tips were mostly common sense, but the regestry keys are what helped me. I have been looking for a way to disable regestry editing for awhile, but wasn't quiet sure if it was working or not. After trying the posted method, I can no longer edit the reg, so it must be in effect. Thanks for posting the information.
This chapter provides an introduction to the EDQ autorun functionality, which allows EDQ to load projects and run jobs when the application server starts up. It explains how the autorun functionality is configured, introduces the chore types that can be performed by using the autorun facility and provides examples of autorun scripts.
Perform a range of tasks when the application server starts up. Each task, which is composed of chores, can be configured to be performed every time the application server is started, or just once the next time the application server is started.
onceonly directory: Scripts in the onceonly directory are processed when the EDQ application server next starts up, and are then moved to the complete subdirectory within onceonly. Scripts in the complete directory are not processed on subsequent start ups.
Various kinds of autorun chores are available in EDQ, each with a set of XML attributes specific to its function. The chore types and their available attributes are defined by the autorun file XML schema, see Section 1.4, "Understanding the Chore and Rules Schemas." The chores available are listed in the following table:
Autorun scripts are files that contain XML code. The main part of an autorun script consists of a list of chores, each bounded by tags. Each chore is of one of the autorun chore types listed in Section 1.2, "Using the Autorun Chores" and includes a set of attributes that specify the chore to be performed. The attributes available depend on the chore type selected.
This document provides an introduction to the Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (EDQ) autorun functionality, which allows EDQ to load projects and run jobs when the application server starts up. It explains how the system's autorun functionality is configured, introduces the chore types that can be performed by using the autorun facility and provides an example of an autorun script. The XML schema on which the autorun scripts are based is provided in full.
This document is intended for administrators responsible for configuring the automated execution of jobs. This document assumes that you are familiar with core EDQ concepts and can understand and write XML documents and schemas.
The EDQ autorun directory is found in the local configuration directory. It contains two subdirectories named onceonly and startup. When the application server starts up, EDQ checks the onceonly and startup directories for autorun scripts and processes any that are present.
Scripts in the startup directory are processed every time the EDQ application server starts up. Scripts in the onceonly directory are processed when the EDQ application server next starts up, and are then moved to the complete subdirectory within onceonly. Scripts in the complete directory are not processed on subsequent start ups.
Various kinds of autorun chores are available in EDQ, each with a set of attributes specific to its function. The chore types and their available attributes are defined by the autorun file XML schema, see The chores available are listed in the following table:
Loads a project from a .dxi file into the server, or saves a project on the server into a .dxi file. If no nodes are specified then the contents of the whole file, including system level components, are loaded into the server.
Autorun scripts are files containing XML code. The main part of an autorun script consists of a list of chores, bounded by tags. Each chore is of one of the autorun chore types listed in "The Autorun Chores" and includes a set of attributes that specify the chore to be performed. The attributes available depend on the chore type selected.
Run the 23People Excel.23People job with the rp1 run profile. If this run profile specifies that the job is to run with a run label, it is run as a Server Console job using the runopsjob command and its published results are viewable in Server Console. Otherwise, the job is run as a Director job using the runjob command and its results are viewable only in Director.
