Win-XP firewall defeats Gibson NanoProbes | |

The default settings on the Win-XP Pro firewall make users invisible on the Net according to Gibson's ShieldsUp security diagnostic tool. "For all intents and purposes your computer doesn't exist to scanners (and hackers) on the Internet!" Steve explains. | ||

| Does this mean that, perhaps, someone may actually believe that Microsoft does take security seriously? Of course rather than say, "Microsoft, finally, you did a good job." the Register decided instead to attack Mr. Gibson. |

Windows 2000 also automatically blocked the Netbios ports on a dialup connection.
Of course nobody noticed it as a good thing, like #1 said, media only attacks people. :) |

Any computer with NetBIOS over TCP/IP disabled will pass the stupid "ShieldsUp" test. This post was edited by IronCladLou on Monday, October 29, 2001 at 11:28. |

#12 is obviously pretty clueless.
IIS doesn't run as a kernel process. There have been patches available for Outlook for quite some time. |

| It doesn't now but IIS 6 is supposedly changing that. It will be running as a kernel level process in the future. |
