Robert, Microsoft in all their wisdom, by default installed IIS when Server was installed. Big mistake, especially seeing that so many so called admins couldn't deal with the configuration of the box in state it was left in after a default install. Server 2003 is SO much more secure by default. By default, using IE you can't even hit a website without adding it to your trusted sites. -Michael -- Michael Steele | System Engineer / Support Technician mailto:michaels () silicondefense com Silicon Defense - The Cyber-War Defense Company Website: http://www.silicondefense.com Snort: Open Source Network IDS - http://www.snort.org -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net [mailto:snort-users-admin () lists sourceforge net] On Behalf Of Robert Reid Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 9:37 AM To: 'James Bly'; 'snort-users () lists sourceforge net' I would go with the latter. "or does it increase the potential for someone who is incompetent to think they can do it properly?" A lot of the Windows boxes I see hacked are home users running Server or Advanced server in default states. -----Original Message----- From: James Bly [mailto:jbly () espiria com] Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 11:40 AM To: 'snort-users () lists sourceforge net' Subject: RE: [Snort-users] Still Help Needed: i want to make a firewall This seems a bit off-topic, but I thought I'd share my two cents in a rhetorical question. Does ease of use decrease the potential for misconfiguration, or does it increase the potential for someone who is incompetent to think they can do it properly?
