thanx a lot i'm learning vbs for the moment so it could be very useful to me smile.gif
headbanger
thanks, im also learning this

it seems very helpful

Thanks wink.gif

Eh, I'd say learn something portable to say the least. VB is probably required if you do programming on windows, I guess this would be worth reading.

hmmm so would i....but there are plenty out there who want to start using VB because its pretty easy to get to grips with and ideal for quick rapid developement...but like you said limited to window enviroment

but am pretty sure it will help a few out there ...every bit helps wink.gif

Ip addresses....

The key to understanding IP, and all of the issues related to IP, is knowing what a routing table looks like and the effects each IP topic has on the entries in a routing table. To begin with, let's review the basics. IP addresses are 32 bit numbers, most commonly represented in dotted decimal notation (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Each decimal number represents eight bits of binary data, and therefore can have a decimal value between 0 and 255. IP addresses most commonly come as class A, B, or C. It's the value of the first number of the IP address that determines the class to which a given IP address belongs. Class D addresses are used for multi-cast applications.

Cryptography

There are two kinds of cryptosystems: symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric cryptosystems use the same key (the secret key) to encrypt and decrypt a message, and asymmetric cryptosystems use one key (the public key) to encrypt a message and a different key (the private key) to decrypt it. Assymetric cryptosystems are also called public key cryptosystems.

Symmetric cryptosystems have a problem: how do you transport the secret key from the sender to the recipient securely and in a tamperproof fashion? If you could send the secret key securely, then, in theory, you wouldn't need the symmetric cryptosystem in the first place -- because you would simply use that secure channel to send your message. Frequently, trusted couriers are used as a solution to this problem. Another, more efficient and reliable solution is a public key cryptosystem, such as RSA, which is used in the popular security tool PGP.

E-Mail

Email is e-mail, which stands for 'electronic mail'.
This means that you don't have to hand-write or print out a 'hard copy' of your message or letter on paper.
You don't have to write an address on a paper envelope.
You don't have to stick a stamp on, drive or walk to the nearest mailbox and post your letter.
And you don't (really - this is the best bit) have to wait days for your letter to get there, or pay more to send a letter overseas.

Use a good virus-scanner. Freeware is available from download.com or you could obtain a commecial package like Norton AntiVirus or Mac-Caffee. Many virus scanners scan for trojans and there are also some specific trojan scanners on the market. Update it frequently.
Now for a listing of AV products:
http://www.kapersky.com
http://www.nai.com
http://www.symantec.com
http://www.f-secure.com
http://www.sophos.com
http://www.norman.com
http://www.antivirus.com
To read virus-info go to:
http://www.viruslist.com
To view hoaxes about virii visit:
http://www.vmyths.com
further:
http://www.wildlist.com
http://www.mcaffee.com/anti-virus/virusmap.asp
There are mailing lists that inform you once new virii are discovered.
To join one of these send mail to listserv@lehigh.edu with in the body of the e-mail:
SUB VIRUS-L your name

Basicly three types of data are not wanted.
Virrii. Data that infects files.
Trojans. Data that supplies a backdoor
Logic bombs. Data that executes something once a certain condition is met.
Scan all your incoming e-mail automaticly. Go to the options in your virus-scanner to specify this. Don't use Outlook Express as it is known to be insecure. Third party mail clients are avaiable from the net. Use one of these or use a web based i-mail address. Hotmail does online virii scanning.
Floppy disks can contain virii. Go to the CMOS setup screen and in BIOS Features setup choose C Only in Boot Sequence.

Whenever you go online you connect to a webserver that assigns you a IP address. Dial Up connections get these dynamicly normally because not all subscribers dial in at the same time. Permanent (or always on) connections frequently use a static IP address. This a vulnarability. Configure your browser to use a proxy when browsing the web.
http://www.inetprivacy.com/a4proxy/...s-proxy-faq.htm
U can also use firewalls to protect yourself.
Read the Frequently Asked Questions list:
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/firewalls-faq/
Find them:
http://www.tinysoftware.com
http://www.zonelabs.com/

http://www.sygate.com/
www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/
http://www.kerio.com/us/kpf_home.html
http://www.checkpoint.com/
Configure them properly (read the manual).

If you have configured a small LAN you might want to look here:

http://www.cisco.com
Once you configured your firewalls correctly you can go to the shields up website (http://www.grc.com/) and test to see how secure you have become. If you would like to read more check this:

Programs from 'friends' can contain all sorts of stuff. Trojans for example. Do not thrust everybody. Programs that get pushed to you on the net like download accelarator or Go!zilla can contain something like spy/adware. The programs push marketing information through the net, sometimes collection info on your surfing behaviour and mailing it back to the owner. To get rid of this goto:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
To obtain a list of programs donig this go to:
http://www.cexx.org/adware.htm
http://www.cexx.org/spysites.htm

Next the scripting of your browser (IE). Script languages like VBScripting and ActiveX can contain malicious code. Disable the ActiveX by going to Extra-Internet Options-Security. Disable VBScripting by going to Extra-Internet Options-Advanced.
Your browser also collects cookies from websites sometimes. These collect info on you. To read about cookies and privacy goto:
http://www.cookiecentral.com/n_cookie_faq.htm
To get rid of cookies you can configure your browser not to accept them or use a third party prog.
http://www.kburra.com/cp1setup.exe
http://www.thelimitsoft.com/
More are available. Perform a querry at your favorite download site.
Many sites use banneradds and some even contain webbugs collecting info on you. Get rid of these:
http://www.junkbusters.com
http://www.guidescope.com/tour/tour3.htm

Do not use file and printer sharing. If you have to: protect all of your shares with strong passwords. To disable file and printer sharing completly go to control panel network FPS. Uncheck the boxes. Next select the network adapter you are using and choose properties-bindings tab. Here remove all your unneeded bindings.
Next disable the server service through control panel-services-server-properties-disabled
Encrypt your files. All of them. This will help prevent data theft big time. Also use encryption for the emails you send. Internet Explorer 6.0 (5.5 to) has had some severe bugs. Get all of the patches. Even then there are some bugs. Sorry mate. Use a different browser. It might contain bugs as well but they a less known and therefore less exploited.

Remember to keep all the stuff you use up to date.
Enforce a strong password policy for all the users of your computer.
