Re: Best Practice for preparing an NT box for firewall-1 installation

[Riccardo Fontana <rfontana () intesis it>]

You can find many enteresting links at this site:

http://www.you.ne.jp/younet/inet/sec-l-nt.html

Personally i followed the second in the list:

"The Hardening of windows NT 4.0" by Micheal Espinola.

In his document i found some good hints about hardening the Registry.

Good works.

p.s.: i think that for some NT firewall system (like Raptor Eagle)
there is no need (or at least minimal need) of hardening the NT
environment, because is the firewall software that work also in that
direction (by escluding all non-necessary services, bindings ecc.)
