Hehe, I also seem to recall that there was a specific FQDN for the bogus.net, and when you do an NSLOOKUP on it, it returns some funny FQDN saying how stupid you are, or something like that... As for the "listen more than you speak" - wise words brother, wise words!!! I sometimes feel like a pirate just checking all the messages flowing around and trying to glean something new every day. Makes life interesting, I tell you!!! -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 December 2003 19:30 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Am I compromised? http://www.ISAserver.org Not to worry, William; I was hoping to jog your memory. I don't recall everything with perfect clarity either and was hoping to gather some details on this. Believe it or not, I listen far more than I speak...

I in no way meant to insinuate that what I believe Tom said was not correct. I may have got the specifics wrong... sorry. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 December 2003 17:34 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Am I compromised? http://www.ISAserver.org Hmmm... I'd like to see that one. Adding bogus entries in there also has the undesirable effect of randomizing your machine's name resolution.

Quite a while ago I believe Tom himself explained that if the "append these DNS suffixes" option is empty, then a would be intruder is able to do something fancy to get into your network or something (not big on the specifics), and to avoid this Tom's exact recommendation was to include something like "bogus.net" so as to prevent this from happening. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas W Shinder [mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 December 2003 02:13 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Am I compromised? http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Arthus, Are you sure you didn't enter that when doing a test? Otherwise, you need to remove that entry now. HTH, Tom -----Original Message----- From: Lim, Arthus T. [mailto:alim@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 12:05 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Am I compromised? http://www.ISAserver.org I was reviewing the settings of my ISA server and found out something suspicious. I found "bogus.net" written under append these DNS suffixes (in order) in IP properties. The last thing that I've done is to install the URLScan. Is the machine compromised? Any of you who experienced the same thing? Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: robertson.william@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') --------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything in this e-mail and attachments relating to the official business of Columbus Stainless is proprietary to the company.
