(To unsubscribe, just send a reply to this e-mail with the word "unsubscribe" as the Subject.) *************************************************************** ADDENDA & ERRATA WEB SITE FOR WINDOWS NT SECURITY GUIDELINES We now have an Addendad and Errata web page for our Windows NT Security Guidelines. We highly recommend you periodically visit this page, especially if you are actively using these guidelines. Some of the addenda topics include "Limiting Installers in the WINNT & Registry ACL Settings," "Minimizing Services & Stolen Service Password," and "Software Installation that "Moves" New Items into Protected Directories." http://www.trustedsystems.com/NSAGuideAdd.htm *************************************************************** SUPER CACLS REPORT The latest version of Super CACLS is version 2.52. If youve licensed an earlier version, you can receive a free upgrade from our web site by using your update code. Trusted Systems Services (and Super CACLS) have been selected to be a security sponsor of the upcoming 1998 Compaq Grand Slam Tennis Cup to be held in Munich, Germany this month. Super CACLS was used to set up the network for all journalists in the Olympic Hall. Stefan Werner, Chief Technical Officer for this event said, "We like Super CACLS because of its enhanced and easy-to-use features in modifying ACLs for securing NT-mass-rollouts." If you havent tried Super CACLS, youre invited to try our full demo available at : http://www.trustedsystems.com/SCACLSMain.htm *************************************************************** ADVANCED CHECKER STATUS REPORT (formerly known as Checker or Super Checker) Our newest networking security tool, Advanced Checker, is in the formal testing phase. Advanced Checker is a fully-featured, programmable scripting language that checks, and in some cases corrects, the security attributes of a Windows NT Server or Workstation. Advanced Checker lets you create simple "scripts" in text files using any text editor. You then run Advanced Checker which reads the scripts and performs its security checks. The security parameters it checks include the ACLs of files and directories on NTFS file systems, Registry keys and share directories, audit SACLs, registry values, audit policy, rights policy and more. We believe that Advanced Checker will fundamentally change the way that beginning and especially advanced networking administrators monitor and manage the security of their networks. It gives you unprecedented power and flexibility in an easy-to-use package that we are committed to expand and improve through feedback from our customers. We hope youll give this product a try when it debuts later this year.

Hi Folks, There is an interesting article by Simon Garfinkle in this morning's(Apr 2nd) electronic version of the San Jose Mercury news. Its on the index page so I don't think you need an account to read it. The article deals with the new key management features and extensions in Viacrypt and how PRZ is upset since it allows employers to read their employees messages. The URL is: http://www.sjmercury.com/business/priv401.htm -Chris walter(a)cithe501.cithep.caltech.edu

Re: Sympatico Petition
by Toto 17 Dec '03

john smith wrote: > > Please tell me everything Sympatico has done to make you think they > moniter your email. Everything please and i can make something of it. When I first saw your email re: Sympatico petition, I assumed that Sympatico would be monitoring activity surrounding the petition. I visted your web site on Oct 28 and surfed around. When I got to the petition-signing page, I decided not to sign, in order to see if those merely visiting the page were being monitored. I pretty much forgot about it until I got an email from Sympatico Admin which dealt with what appeared to be bogus concerns, and containing vague threats of loss of access. I checked out the headers on my past incoming and outgoing email and found changes in the way it was routed and dealt with--changes which started shortly after I visited your website. I confirmed the results of my traffic analysis on my own account by checking them against those of another Sympatico account whose records I have access to, and which is used as a 'control' because it is used only for very normal and boring communications by a very regular jane/joe. (The changes started late on Oct 28th, and I got the threat from Sympatico on Nov. 4th.) As well, my follow up communications with Sympatico Admin resulted in replies which contained further evidence that the claims they were making in regard for the reasons for their actions were askew. Sympatico is little more than a company that acts as a front for the Canadian Telecos, so that they can continue to operate what are basically monopolies, without appearing to do so. SaskTel charged outrageous connect charges of ~$5.00 an hour out in the boonies, as long as they could. When it became apparent that they couldn't get away with it for much longer, Sympatico appeared on the scene, as SaskTel's 'competition'. The two entered into a sweetheart deal which effectively allows Sympatico and SaskTel to operate a dual monopoly, by making it difficult for small operators in the boonies to get a cut of the action. You may have noticed that 'Sympatico Admin' is pretty much synonymous with the SaskNet Admin. Their bum-buddy relationship is covered by only a thin veil of pretension. SaskTel still manages to maintain a semi-monopoly in the big cities, but their real power comes in the boondocks, where the Sympatico deal allowing no toll-charges effectively cuts out the smaller providers who can only offer services to a handful of in-area customers. The bottom line is that there are advantages to the basic infrastrucure of the system being developed by a single entity, such as SaskTel, but if that entity is allowed to pick and choose who receives preferred treatment, then they tend to do so in their own interests, and not in the interests of the end users. SaskTel charged $5.00/hr connect time in the boonies until there were enough complaints that they made a deal with Sympatico to control the market at slightly less monopolistic rates. People tend not to figure out that the change from $5.00/hr to around $1.50/hr, practically overnight, merely reflects that SaskTel charged over twice what was reasonable, for as long as they could get away with it. I checked the numbers, in regard to bandwidth costs, etc., to hook up and provide an InterNet service, and found that the types of rates you quote on your website are not out of line, but are not possible if one cannot get the type of deal Sympatico gets. e.g. - I charge you $20/month for total access, but you pay $6.00/hr to SaskTel for long-distance charges, to connect. SaskTel/Sympatico will continue to maintain a monopoly whose prices will reflect how much they can charge before complaints force them to move toward more truly competitive rates. I applaud your efforts to make some noise in this regard, and hope that they have the effect of forcing SaskTel/Sympatico to maintain their monopoly at more reasonable rates than at present. I am somewhat notorious in certain areas of the underground computer movement, having been involved in the dissemination of a number of subversive on-line manuscripts, so I often get hackers and phreaks sending me confidential information from my ISP's. I found it rather humorous that the original email from the Sympatico Admin: > Please note: this note is being sent to our security dept. as we > deem this type of activity to be mis-use of the mail system and > as such you could loose your access privileges. ...contained an 'additional' note from a hacker named the Evil-1, who added: > [And I'll make sure you get a copy!
