Re: Hacking to Xp box

[Marco Monicelli <marco.monicelli () marcegaglia com>]

As far as claimed by the author, this patch should enable back the RAW
sockets sending. Never tested though.

You can use it by command line or in a batch file....

Inside of a firm ICMP probably can't be be blocked as it's needed for
Group policy.

If XP SP2 with 05-019... Raw sockets can't be reenabled via command
line... at least not the one that worked pre 05-019.  You know of a new
one?

With the advent of XP SP2 and the recent MS05-019 patch, using raw
sockets for scanning from a Windows platform has proven to be very
problematic. I thought I would summarize the situation.

Based upon the presence of MS05-019 and the state of the Windows
Firewall service(s) we have to decide whether we need to stop or start
the firewall service(s). Even then there may still be issues. The logic
is as follows:

Windows 2000 is unaffected. It fully supports all raw socket actions and
 since it doesn't have the Windows Firewall/ICF we don't have any of
those associated issues.

XP SP0 should have the firewall stopped ("net stop sharedaccess"). Even
though TCP raw sockets are unaffected by the firewall the ALG service,
which is intimately tied to the firewall service on XP, prevents
discovery of several ports such as 21, 389, 1002 and 1720 when using TCP
raw sockets. Stopping the sharedaccess service thus automatically stops
the ALG service and we're good to go.

XP SP1 *without* MS05-019 functions the same as XP SP0.

XP SP1 *with* MS05-019 needs to have the sharedaccess firewall service
*running* (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897656) otherwise TCP raw
sockets are blocked. Because the sharedaccess service needs to be
running to enable sending of TCP packets using raw sockets we have the
problem with the ALG service blocking sending to certain ports, but it's
better than nothing.

XP SP2 *without* MS05-019 functions the same as XP SP1 without the patch
apart from a driver-level restriction on the number of
in-the-process-of-connecting TCP connections. This can affect regular
socket style scanning. The only known workaround to the driver issue is
a TCPIP.SYS hack.

XP SP2 *with* MS05-019 is unusable for raw-socket TCP scanning. It
totally blocks TCP raw sockets with or without the firewall enabled.

Windows Server 2003 acts like XP SP0. The ALG service, which is now no
longer tied to the sharedaccess (Windows Firewall) service, should be
stopped ("net stop alg").

What a mess :-)

Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: 

Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your 
website. Up to 75% of cyber attacks are launched on shopping carts, forms, 
login pages, dynamic content etc. Firewalls, SSL and locked-down servers are 
futile against web application hacking. Check your website for vulnerabilities 
to SQL injection, Cross site scripting and other web attacks before hackers do!
