NT Event Logs

RickW — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 01:41:33 GMT

I'm putting together a list of all of the NT Event Log codes that could be of security concern. Logons, permissions, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Know any off the top of your head?

Thanks,

Rick

Review: Silent Sword

Just finished my first official review of a security product. Silent Sword stops malware at the system startup, rather than trying to fight them after they're running.

Sober worm saturates the Internet

RickW — Thu, 05 May 2005 18:54:32 GMT

A new variant of Sober, a mass-mailing email worm, was responsible for over two-thirds of all email traffic the last few days.

Sober Worm

Code Red was cool how it spread. Agobot is extremely effetive at at exploitings dozens of OS holes. But Sober? It just reveals the greatest exploit of any operating system or software - people. Sobig, Klez, Netsky... there just is no reason for it.

I think there is a going to be a virus some day... the virus of all viruses, that will seriously threaten the world's economy. It's going to spread like Sober, it's going to exploit like Agobot, it's going to infect software and delete data like Zori. And the incredible amount of traffic this megavirus will create will D.O.S. all networks and the Internet so even secure machines will be affected. Not good.
