  1. Implementing Advanced Server and Client Security Sandeep Modhvadia Security Technical Specialist http://blogs.msdn.com/sandeepm deep@microsoft.com

  2. Agenda • Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 • 2 years on! • Windows XP Service Pack 2

  3. What are the Goals of SP1? Enhanced Security • reduced attack surface • new security enhancements Stronger Defaults and privilege reduction on services • RPC • DCOM Support for no execute hardware • Intel • AMD Windows Firewall • Enabled for new install scenarios Provide a Security Configuration Wizard to assist IT Admins • Role-based configuration and lockdown VPN Quarantine • Client inspection • Fix-up • Isolation IIS 6.0 metabase auditing Enhanced Reliability Enhanced Performance • 10%+ improvement in TPC, TPC-H, SAP, SSL, etc.

  4. SP1 Security Features and Enhancements • Relevant XP SP2 enhancements • RPC, DCOM lockdown • Windows Firewall • Post-Setup Security Updates • Boot-time network protection for clean installs • Security Configuration Wizard • Base 64-bit extension system

  5. Windows Firewall/RPC • Goals and customer benefit • Provide by default better protection from network attacks • Focus on role-based server configuration • What we’re doing • Windows Firewall (formerly ICF) will be on by default in almost all configurations utilizing the Security Configuration Wizard • More configuration options • Group policy, command line, unattended setup • Better user interface • Boot time protection • Restrict anonymous connections to DCOM/RPC interfaces • Application impact • In-bound network connections will not be permitted by default • Listening ports only open as long as the application is running

  6. Post-Setup Security Updates • A new feature designed to protect servers between first boot and application of most recent security updates • Opens on first admin login if Windows Firewall was not explicitly enabled using unattend script or GP • Blocks inbound connections until customer clicks “Finish” on PSSU dialog box

  7. Security Configuration Wizard • Guided Attack Surface Reduction for Windows Servers • Security Coverage • Roles-Based Metaphor • Disables Unnecessary Services • Disables Unnecessary IIS Web Extensions • Blocks unused Ports, inlcuding multi-homed scenarios • Helps Secure Ports that are left open using IPSEC • Reduces protocol exposure (LDAP, NTLM, SMB) • Configures Audit Setting with high Signal to Noise • Security for mere mortals • Roles-based makes answering questions easy • Automated versus Paper-Based Guidance • Fully tested and supported by Microsoft

  8. SCW • Demo

  9. Network protection Memory protection Safer e-mail handling More secure browsing Improved computer maintenance Some updated features What is SP2? • Post-SP1 hotfixes (more regression testing) • New security technologies

  10. Windows Firewall enhancements • New and improved user interface • On by default for all network interfaces • Provides boot-time security • Global and per-interface configurations • Exceptions list (can be disallowed) • Local subnet restrictions • Command-line and better group policy management • Multiple profiles and RPC support • Unattended setup

  11. Command Line Control C:\>netsh firewall show The following commands are available: Commands in this context: show allowedprogram - Shows firewall allowed program configuration. show config - Shows firewall configuration. show currentprofile - Shows current firewall profile. show icmpsetting - Shows firewall ICMP configuration. show logging - Shows firewall logging configuration. show multicastbroadcastresponse - Shows firewall multicast/broadcast response co nfiguration. show notifications - Shows firewall notification configuration. show opmode - Shows firewall operational configuration. show portopening - Shows firewall port configuration. show service - Shows firewall service configuration. show state - Shows current firewall state.
