]]> Comment on Minimal Security Part 2 – Going All In by Adz http://lolminimal.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/minimal-security-part-2-going-all-in/#comment-12 Adz Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:27:29 +0000 http://lolminimal.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/minimal-security-part-2-going-all-in/#comment-12 This is a great article. You have written extrememly well. Having a unique key to your email, web history, and other online services has many benefits. You do not have to worry about multiple usernames and it's as if you have all your favourite websites and online services in one complete portal page. On the other hand, this unique key as you rightly say can unlock all your web history in one single click if in the wrong hands. Companies such as Google and Microsoft need to be aware that users and developers are worried about this issue and take appropiate action. While announcing how safe the system is can be convincing for some, this would not work for the more experienced computer user, preferably a developer or programmer of some kind. I think that improving the system design and maybe having a unique key that has unique identifiers for each different service would be better. For example: This is a great article.

]]> Comment on Minimal Security Part 1 – It doesn’t have to be hard by Daniel Coplin http://lolminimal.wordpress.com/2007/08/26/minimal-security-part-1-it-doesnt-have-to-be-hard/#comment-10 Daniel Coplin Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:13:33 +0000 http://lolminimal.wordpress.com/2007/08/26/minimal-security-part-1-it-doesnt-have-to-be-hard/#comment-10 Thanks for the guide. As an administrator, I would recommend keeping attention to the file shares security as it appears that it can become a source of a big trouble. The fact is we had a problem after we got our new server. Everything kept pretty well and quiet but we got messed up with troubles connected with losing security information from the shares after they were moved to the new location. Thanks, we had a planned security audit then, too. In short I learned that they were using Security Explorer from Scriptlogic. The tool looked pretty simple in use and still very effective to me so I thought why not to arm ourselves with this tool and save from the further pain? The moral for me was that sometimes you realize you should have been thinking more broadly. Keeping the server security functional still requires using additional tools. What I like best about Security Explorer is that it's possible to control security access on many objects that have security permissions. First off, it's obviously the file system. Previously I've been thinking myself there's no need to innovate into this area of management. What can be easier than just putting your mouse on the object, open it's properties and in several clicks you are there and can configure the ACL. But as I can see now there's always something that can make your life better and the only question is how quickly you can find the solution. With this Scriptlogic's tool there's no need to take ownership on files to just browse the file structure, and it's possible to view and change permission lists on the fly. That allows you to reveal weaknesses. I usually use this technique to find obsolete settings such as elevated access privileges granted to some user when he doesn't need it anymore. I am finding it way easier to do things this way. It saves time as there's no need to take multiple steps to change ownership as the tool does it automatically. It's so well done there that I now do everything connected to security management with Security Explorer. The best thing there is that it's possible to make a backup of security for several files or folders on multiple computers at once. I frequently do that when there's an obvious need to roll-back changes after some period. It's also great that they cover so many sides of security management. A good example to take is sharepoint <a href="http://www.scriptlogic.com/products/security-explorer/" rel="nofollow">security administration</a> that's also available within this tool. I never thought I would need it someday but today I realize that sharepoint is a must for us to handle that document flow that we maintain today. Thanks for the guide.
