Dana, et al,
Here is a good start for you on some resources to assist you in hardening your workstation(s). The NSA released some unclassified documents on ways to reduce the attack surface of you Microsoft based operating systems. I found the Windows XP and 2000 guides a good starting point if you are wanting to "button down the hatches" for those platforms. The documents are clear and concise and step through a lot of different aspects. You can find the index at: http://www.nsa.gov/snac/, or go directly to the Windows XP Guide at: http://www.nsa.gov/snac/winxp/download.htm
(snips) Additionally, a hardening tool complete w/.pdf how-to's is avialable free! W2k, Linux, Cisco tools available - you can do a 2K box to NSA specs using this tool. www.cisecurity.org "... Operating Systems - Windows 2000 Professional -- Level 2 - Windows 2000 Server -- Level 2 *NEW* - Windows 2000 -- Level 1 - Windows NT -- Level 1 - Solaris -- Level 1 *UPDATED* - Linux -- Level 1 - HP-UX -- Level 1 ..." cheers, /b --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
