Microsoft Windows Server Service Vulnerability (MS08-067)

A vulnerability has been identified in Microsoft Windows, which could be exploited by attackers to take complete control of an affected system. This issue is caused by an error in the Server service that does not properly handle specially crafted RPC requests, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected system or execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted request.

On Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, the vulnerability is only exploitable by authenticated users.

Note: This vulnerability is being exploited in targeted attacks.

This was just discovered and needs to let people know. I will do more research on it and maybe come up with a way to fix the problem. According to my sources there is a patch that will fix the problem!!

*UPDATE*
According to Microsoft:

This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Server service. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an affected system received a specially crafted RPC request. On Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability without authentication to run arbitrary code. It is possible that this vulnerability could be used in the crafting of a wormable exploit. Firewall best practices and standard default firewall configurations can help protect network resources from attacks that originate outside the enterprise perimeter.

Five Ways to Increase Email Productivity!

As time goes by there are always going to be problems with having Email and being productive.  You can have so much stuff going on in one day it's not even possible to really have time to thoroughly check your email.  So here are some great steps to get some of your emails done with!!

[ad]

1. Empty your InBox -- If you don't have control over your inbox maybe it is time to make sure it's empty or at least all read!!  It's true most of the time I don't read all my emails, I pick and choose what I want to read.  After that, I decide to make all post marked at read!!  I call it the Panic button!!




2. Organize your Inbox -- Having been signed up for several different email groups.  I've got it all organized.  I've got a folder setup and used for each group.  I then create a mail filter for each group and have it put it there, unless it's spam then I have it go into the spam folder!! (also see Email Filtering)
   




3. Check your Email on Off peak Hours -- Not having a lot of time can sometimes create a need to check your email in the morning or afternoon.  I rarely check it during the day.  So I get all my emailing done either in the morning or late night! As long as you keep in mind not to waste time with the emails.  You can get done with most of your emails in under an hour, unless you get more than 1000 a day, then it's a different story.




4. Automate Repetitive Emails --  Having been getting the same emails over and over that aren't spam.  I've got a filter in place to automaticly send out a response to the sender and say I've seen the problem and am fixing the problem ASAP.  You too can do that with your emails system.  If you have something that can be automated do it.  It can save you time and money in the long run!!




5. Unclutter your Email system -- Yes that is right to much clutter slows down your chances of getting done with what you need to get done with.  I have done it and it greatly increased my speed in my emails.  Having been email for the past several years I find it essential to keep my email uncluttered!!

Although, All of these are lifehacker recommendations. I found the most important ones that I have intrigrated into my email performance and I thought I share them with you. I hope these help you in the long run. If you got a tip you would like to share by all means leave a comment!!

What Are You Doing with Your Stimulus Check?

Unless you made a fistful of cash last year, you've got a stimulus check either already in your bank account or on its way. Naturally, the goal of the stimulus package is to add a bit of fuel to the sputtering engine of the U.S. economy, but since no one's watching to ensure that you cash that check and head straight to the mall, we're wondering what your plans are for your money.

IPlist Protects Torrent Traffic in Linux

Linux only: Free IP-filtering application IPlist protects your BitTorrent downloads from third-party snoopers and blockers by controlling which IP addresses can and cannot connect to your system. The default blacklist installed with IPlist is a pretty good start to protecting your torrent privacy, and an "Update" button adds the latest known addresses with bad juju behind them, but the app also lets you add ranges, specific addresses, and other kinds of traffic to allow and block. Simply fire up IPlist before running your BitTorrent client, and the app will do its work. IPlist is a free download for Linux systems; hit the link below for prerequisites and installation help with Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora systems.

What Makes Vista Worth It?

The majority of you told us that you prefer XP to Vista and that it'd be best if Microsoft extended its cutoff date for XP, but we can't help but wonder if there's something about Vista that's worth your while. For those of you who have made the switch—or those who have been tempted—we're curious what Vista features actually make the upgrade worthwhile for you. So let's hear what you actually like about Windows Vista that you didn't get from XP in the comments.

I am curious as to who thinks Vista has become more stable, I have think it has become more stable and secure. What do people think got right your oppinions there.

Skip Commercials in Windows Media Center with DVRMSToolbox

Windows only: Freeware application DVRMSToolbox analyzes Media Center-recorded files and marks the start and end point of commercials so you can quickly skip over commercials and go straight to the content. Similar to previously mentioned Lifextender in its commercial skipping capabilities, DVRMSToolbox keeps your files in tact and marks the commercials instead of deleting them entirely (like Lifextender does) so there's less chance of an inadvertant cut. In addition, DVRMSToolbox can convert DVR-MS files (the default recording type of Media Center) to MPEG or WMV files for portability to other devices and other useful features. For a simple guide to getting started with DVRMSToolbox's commercial detection, check out CyberNet's introduction. This Media Center favorite is freeware, Windows only.

Restore Your Data with Time Machine

Of course you know all about Time Machine's marquee feature—the ability to browse your files back in time—but Blogger James Duncan Davidson details Time machine's equally-excellent-in-its-simplicity feature: restoring an entire system after a hard drive crash. The process is painless. Simply boot from the Leopard install disc with a fresh hard drive in place of your crashed drive; instead of continuing with the install process, go to Utilities -> Restore System from Backup. Then select your backup source (your Time Machine drive), choose which backup you want to restore (most likely you'll want the most recent), then pick the destination drive (your new drive). Then it's simply a matter of kicking back and waiting for Time Machine to do its magic. When all's said and done, your entire system (with a few small exceptions) should be back in the exact same state you left it. I've already done this a couple of times myself, and frankly, it feels good. The simplicity of Time Machine really does compel you.

Thought people with Macintosh's should of needed a reminder for this little application in Mac OS X. Enjoy

Add Multiple, Address-Specific HTML Signatures to New Gmail

Firefox with Greasemonkey: If the upgrade to the new version of Gmail made you leave your HTML signatures behind, you're in luck. The Gmail 2.0 Multiple HTML Signatures Greasemonkey user script (wow, that's a mouthful) can associate rich text signatures to individual addresses in Gmail, and include them above the quoted text in replies. Unfortunately the user script requires that you edit its source to set up your sigs: once it's installed, in Greasemonkey's Manage Scripts dialog, hit the Edit button. In the area labeled "Setup/Configuration," enter your email address(es), and your signature markup. Use the pre-filled examples to get started. Because this script requires hand source-editing, it'll take some work to get it implemented in Better Gmail 2, but it's on the roadmap. The Multiple HTML Signatures user script is a free download that works with Greasemonkey in Firefox.

Find Popular Google Reader Shared Items with ReadBurner

Web site ReadBurner aggregates popular Google Reader Shared Items, turning Google Reader sharing into an action similar to bookmarking a page on Del.icio.us or voting for an article on Digg. Sure you can already share your favorite news items with friends, but by adding your shared items URL to ReadBurner, sharing feeds will also give that link some juice on ReadBurner—so it's like a simple way to contribute to a social bookmarking service without really adding a step to your bookmarking. So far the site's fairly young, but with enough users it really shows promise.

I saw this on Life Hacker and thought people would like to know about this little way to social bookmark on Google Reader!!

Listen to Music and Playlists from Gmail with Gspace

Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): Store and manage music with all those extra gigabytes in your Gmail account with previously mentioned Gmail File Space extension, now known simply as Gspace. Just install the extension, upload some music, and then enter Player mode. From there you can create playlists from the music you've uploaded and play them in the embedded flash player. It's a bit of a hassle setting Flash to play files from Gmail (you have to change your Global Flash settings), but if you jump through the hoops it's pretty cool to be able to store music and build playlists from your Gmail account.

Zoho Suite vs Google Docs

Slowly you've been moving the work you used to do in desktop applications online, and you've got two major choices to do that: Google Apps or Zoho's Office Suite. Both the big G and the little Z offer completely browser-based office applications like a word processor and spreadsheet, as well as communication tools like chat and email, as well as collaboration tools like project managers and wiki's. But the business-oriented Zoho and the consumer-oriented Google applications differ a little bit in offerings, and probably a whole lot when it comes to active users. After the jump, we compare Zoho and Google's current webapp offerings and you get the chance to pick your poison.

Every time we visit Zoho, we're impressed by the wide range of available applications, and their depth of features. So we talked to Raju Vegesna at Zoho, who gave us a quick rundown of what Google's got, and what Zoho's got. Most applications have equivalents, and some only Zoho has, and some only Google has, and some seem imminent based on recent acquisitions. Here's a table.

It tells you in a table which stuff you can do and what you can not do!! I thought it was interesting!!

Manage Multiple Remote Desktop Connections with mRemote

Windows only: Connect to and manage multiple remote desktop connections—supporting RDP, VNC, SSH2, and Telnet protocols—in a friendly tabbed interface with free, open source application mRemote. While you could run multiple instances of the Windows Remote Desktop application along with your other remote connections, mRemote allows you to connect to and manage them all from one place without cluttering up your taskbar or running several different applications. Whether you're controlling your home computer on-the-go with VNC, you prefer Windows Remote Desktop connections (RDP), or you regularly use an SSH2 or even Telnet connections, mRemote is the perfect tool to manage and connect to them all. mRemote is free, Windows only.

Nice little program for when you have more than two machines and need to get on both.

Update Large Files with PatchOnClick

Windows only: Freeware application PatchOnClick updates large files by creating patches from the new file and applying those patches to old files with a dead simple interface. At first blush, this may seem like a tool that a normal user has very little use for, but FreewareGenius explains its usefulness perfectly:

I thought this program was a really nice touch to add. Go download it and play around and check out the full story at Life Hacker.

Get a 15-Minute Email Address from GuerrillaMail

GuerrillaMail is an anonymous web service that provides you with a temporary email address—perfect for web sites that you don't want to communicate with you but require email registration. Generate an email address and reload the home page to view any incoming messages. The 15-minute timer displays the amount of time you have remaining until your email address expires, but you can extend your time if necessary. The concept is not much different from previously mentioned 10-minute mail, 2 Prong, or the army of similar temporary email services—though GuerrillaMail even has a (paid) script to host this application yourself, which could come in handy if the guerrillamail.info domain name gets banned. Whatever service you choose, temporary email addresses can really keep your regular inbox spam-free.

This is useful when you need to be anonymous but I also know spammers use this for forums and temp email address to keep you from finding out there real email address or there real location.
