With a revised Microsoft operating system comes a revised set of security holes and means of attacking them. Hacking Exposed: Windows 2000 presents a snapshot of known Windows 2000 security weaknesses and the tools that have been developed to exploit them, in turn enabling system operators to mount better defenses. This book builds on and contributes to the small but respected Hacking Exposed series, giving network administrators a detailed picture of the threats their Windows 2000 machines face--and all the motivation they should need to install the latest patches right away. Which points out a characteristic of this book: many of the problems it catalogues are known bugs that shouldn't be a problem if you've installed the latest fixes and have good password and privilege policies. The point: even with this book on your shelf, keep an eye on the security sites for news of emerging problems.Joel Scambray and Stuart McClure have chosen to organise their book according to the steps involved in system compromise (identifying a target, gaining access and privileges, using or destroying the system and so on) as well as by area of vulnerability. In addition to well-written passages that explain general hacking strategies and concepts, the authors devote sections to software (meaning native Windows commands, tools that are part of the Windows NT/2000 Resource Kit, as well as e

"Web-based applications" is getting to be a redundant term, but that only highlights the fact that up-to-date programmers need to be familiar with the strategies and practices used to build modern networked software. Designing Secure Web-Based Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000 explains precisely what its title specifies: the mechanisms for allowing Windows programs to communicate over the network while maintaining security, plus their ways of fitting into complete product architectures. It's a complete engineering document, really, with considerable information on identifying security threats, giving them relative weights, and deciding how to deal with them in the designs of your systems. The authors have both done their homework and worked in industry, and it's a pleasure to read their distilled knowledge.Early sections are more academic (which is not at all to say they're not very much worthwhile), while later chapters deal with specific security strategies and particular products' security features. The authors aren't vague. They tell you how they think you should design your programs (storing hashes, rather than passwords, in a database to allow for intrusion into the database, for example) and what you need to do, specifically (there's not a lot of code, but enough to give heft to what would otherwise be purely high-level advice). The authors stick to the Microsoft

This boxed set helps you prepare for the four examinations you must pass to qualify as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) under the Windows 2000 curriculum. You'll find lots of information on Windows 2000 and its networking capabilities in this kit. Specifically, the set consists of four books and a CD-ROM:- Windows 2000 Server
- Windows 2000 Professional
- Active Directory Services
- Network Infrastructure Administration
- A 120-day evaluation version of Windows 2000 Server
This kit is among the first Windows 2000 MCSE packages on the market, and the books are pretty accurate and detailed. Written mostly by Microsoft internal documentation staff, they use a standard formula. Each module begins with a statement of concepts and facts, such as what log files are and what each of the three Windows 2000 log files is for. Then you get "how-to" information in the form of stepped procedures for viewing log contents; option tables and other material that explain how to deal with non-standard situations come next. Finally, carefully scripted exercises allow you to practise your new skills and get predictable results.
Sections on Domain Name Service (DNS), the IPsec protocol, and the management of network protocols are particularly good. As you might expect from a training kit on a product whose main

Windows 2000 Active Directory is a notably authoritative and engaging guide to Microsoft's Active Directory (AD). This book can serve as a trustworthy guide for any administrator or developer planning to make the move to the new Windows and this powerful directory standard.Articulate and technically astute, the author adopts the role of a trusted advisor on the best ways to handle the move from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000, with an expert's view of designing the layout of your company's Active Directory schema. In realistic terms, he shows you how AD can coexist with UNIX directories. The book not only provides a collection of screenshots (though there are hands-on tutorials for specific tasks), but also a nicely in-depth tour of what Internet directories are and what advantages Active Directory offers. The author's case studies on sample domains and organisation units (OUs) for sample companies, including a model global corporation, will help any network administrator cope with the design of even the most complex directories. His hints for limiting "domains" and favouring the more flexible "organisational units" (OUs) will also help administrators think in Windows 2000 terms.
Later sections of the book delve into Active Directory Services Interface (ASDI) scripting using Windows Script Host (WSH), Visual Basic, and even ASPs for browser-based administration. Assuming very

With Internet security an increasing concern, so in turn there has been an increase in firewall solutions aimed to protect enterprise organisations from unwanted intrusion and malicious attack. Supporting the deployment of Microsoft's upgrade to Proxy Server 2.0, Configuring ISA Server 2000 is a true heavyweight designed to help network professionals muscle through the minefield of installation.Written by experienced trainers and authors Thomas and Debra Shinder, this hardback reference is rich in content and ripe for the job of assisting any administrator with an understanding of the TCP/IP protocol stack. Balancing the issues of Internet security with configuring your ISA-protected network for optimum performance, this book cleverly guides its readers through the maze of ISA Server with clear step-by-step "walk-through" exercises.
From the outset the Shinder's address the issues at hand in a thorough and authoritative manner. The opening chapter presenting an introduction to Microsoft ISA Server provides an excellent overview of ISA Server's functionality. The chapters that follow then deliver a detailed discussion of a number of topics including security concepts and policies, deployment, planning and design through to matters of configuration, Web and server publishing, and troubleshooting.
Each of the books chapters concludes with a useful FAQ's section, and there's

Here is a massive volume that documents Windows 2000, the new high end 32-bit operating system, in the most practical way for a programmer. Rather than discussing the structure and theory behind Windows 2000, it immediately gets down to the urgent task of communicating the system's effect on a program, and how a program can exploit it in order to get things done neatly and efficiently.The cover asserts that you will "open this book as a novice and finish it as a pro": a bold claim, but manifestly justifiable. The author has previously written a volume called MFC Programming from the Ground Up which can be seen as a companion to this volume. Where MFC Programming concentrates on using the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) C++ class library, this volume focuses on using the Windows 2000 API (Application Program Interface) directly. This has two chief advantages: it allows the programmer to become better acquainted with the spectrum of services available within the interface, and it is readily adaptable to use by other languages than C++.
There are plenty of diagrams, and the material is excellently divided into a score of chapters, covering topics such as help, printers, registry and menus. The text and numerous examples are shaped around C++, and a knowledge of at least C is a prerequisite; but in most respects this book is kind and informative to the complete novic
