Microsoft has made the implementation of the User Account Control settings much friendlier on Windows 8/10. After getting feedback that in Windows Vista, that the. Of course, there are mitigation techniques for the user to utilize. The vast majority of users leave the default configuration untouched. Bypassing Windows User Account Control (UAC) and ways of mitigation. Securing machines from abuse and compromise in a corporate environment has always been an ongoing process. Providing admin rights to users has always been abused as users have ended up installing unapproved software, change configurations, etc. Not giving local admin rights and they claim they can’t do their work. If malware happens to compromise the machine with full admin rights then you are most likely looking at reimaging the machine. User Account Control (UAC) gives us the ability to run in standard user rights instead of full administrator rights. So even if your standard user account is in the local admin group damage is limited, i. To carry out these actions users would need to interact with the desktop such us right click and run as administrator or accept the UAC elevation prompt. UAC was introduced from Windows Vista onwards and contains a number of technologies that include file system and registry virtualization, the Protected Administrator (PA) account, UAC elevation prompts and Windows Integrity levels. UAC works by adjusting the permission level of our user account, so programs actions are carried out as a standard user even if we have local admin rights on the computer. When changes are going to be made that require administrator- level permission UAC notifies us. If we have local admin rights then we can click yes to continue otherwise we would be prompted to enter an administrator password. These would however depend on what policies have been defined in your environment. This blog post shows how easily UAC elevation prompts could be bypassed and what actions could be taken to mitigate this threat. Bypassing UACExploiting UAC is a trivial process. There are two stages needed to be taken to achieve bypass to elevate from standard user rights to administrator user rights. These steps have widely been published so it’s nothing new though stage 2 documents some more DLL hijacking vulnerabilities. Writing to a secure location. Exploiting DLL hijacking vulnerability. In order for our bypass to be successful to start off with we need. A medium integrity process. A standard user in an administrators group. Windows executable must be signed by Microsoft code signing certificate. Windows executable must be located in a secure directory. Windows executable also must specify the auto Elevate property in their manifest. Writing to a secure location. Short for User Account Control, UAC is a feature introduced with Windows Vista to provide an extra security by preventing administrative rights to programs unless. Have an account that you no longer need on your computer? You can delete it and still keep the desktop and personal files associated with the account by following. Requirements for User Account Control; Key scenarios for User Account Control; Scenario 1: Request an application to run. Windows Vista (codenamed Longhorn) is an operating system by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablet PCs and. There are a couple of ways we can write to a secure location. Using the IFile. Operation COM Object. Using Windows Update Standalone Installer (wusa. IFile. Operation COM Object. The IFile. Operation COM object has a method that we can use to copy files to our secure location as the operation will auto- elevate and able to do a privilege copy. To exploit we can in inject our malicious DLL in a medium integrity process to carry out the operation. Since the COM object is set to auto- elevate the injected process does not need to be marked for auto- elevation in its manifest. On windows 7 injected processes that have copied successfully are. C: \Windows\explorer. C: \Windows\System. C: \Windows\System. During tests taskhost. On Windows 8 injected processes that have copied successfully are. C: \Windows\explorer. C: \Windows\System. C: \Windows\System. Runtime. Broker. exe. Again explorer. exe is only the reliable process to use I found during my tests and the only one that worked on Windows 8. The main part of the code below has been taken from MSDN with just the some minor changes. The Set. Operation. Flags values used was taken from the UAC bypass code published here.#include < stdio. Shobjidl. h>. #include < Windows. Wusa. exe when executed runs as a high integrity process as its set to auto- elevate in its manifest. For auto- elevation the Windows executable must be signed, located in a secure directory such as C: \Windows\System. Elevate property in their manifest. We use wusa. exe to extract a CAB file (cabinet archive file) to our secure locationwusa c: \users\user. Here in the example our cab file is called poc. Windows comes with the makecab. CRYPTBASE. dll c: \users\user. Exploiting DLL hijacking vulnerability. When exploiting a DLL hijacking vulnerability the executable we are going to run again has to be signed; located in a secure directory and must specify the auto. Elevate property in its manifest in order load as a high integrity process. On Windows 7 there are three executables that could be exploited and associated DLLs listed below. C: \windows\ehome\Mcx. Prov. exe. C: \Windows\ehome\CRYPTBASE. C: \windows\System. C: \Windows\System. CRYPTSP. dll. C: \windows\System. CRYPTBASE. dll. C: \Windows\System. Rpc. Rt. Remote. dll. C: \Windows\System. Ux. Theme. dll. C: \windows\System. C: \Windows\System. NTWDBLIB. DLLOn malwr. June last year had already been using Mcx. Prov. exe to bypass UAC and day later an exploit had also been published. The same hash had also been flagged on Virus. Total (3. 8/5. 4) submitted over four months ago. On Windows 8 there are also three executables that could be exploited and associated DLLs listed below. C: \windows\System. C: \windows\System. CRYPTBASE. dll. C: \Windows\System. Sysprep\dwmapi. dll. C: \Windows\System. Sysprep\SHCORE. dll. C: \windows\System. C: \Windows\System. NTWDBLIB. DLL. C: \windows\System. C: \Windows\System. C: \Windows\System. URe. FS. DLLFinally on Windows 8. DLLs listed below. C: \windows\System. C: \Windows\System. Sysprep\SHCORE. dll. C: \Windows\System.

Virtual Disk Service) which then loads our DLL and gives us System integrity running in SYSTEM account. Calling these executables sysprep. GUI window but should be able to easily make it run in the background and then terminated after being exploited. This is something I haven’t looked into so I’ll leave upto you. Mitigation. The best way to mitigate this bypass is just by not giving users local admin rights to their machines. Majority of user accounts in a corporate environment you should be able to do this reducing the attack surface. This however does not apply home users which would have local admin rights by default. The actual bypass only works when set to the middle two UAC settings which will let it auto- elevate. To see your settings you need to go to Control Panel – User Accounts – Change User Account Control settings. Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (default) Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (do not dim desktop settings)so we could set to Always notify but this would bring it back to like it was on Windows Vista with constant notifications and not really practical and the user would end up setting it to Never notify which is definitely not a good idea. Microsoft has given us 1. UAC policies to play with so it’s worth spending some time understanding and testing these out before implementing it in your own domain environment. To see what is applied on your local machine type secpol. Start- Run to open the Local Security Policy snap- in and expand the Local Policies- Security Options folder. Run rsop. msc to view group policies applied on machines in a domain environment. Looking in the registry these are the default values of UAC. This is an extremely dangerous value to be in and should never be disabled so its strongly recommend to set this settings to be enabled in group policies so it always gets applied if settings are reset/changed by users or by previously removed malware. User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode. Once disabled not only a malicious process could be able to go straight to high integrity without any bypass but also Internet Explorer would run in medium integrity. UAC gives us the Protected Mode (sandbox) in Internet Explorer providing added security. Internet Explorer normally runs in low integrity child process so if compromised by some IE exploit the damage is minimized as in low integrity there are only a handful of locations it can be written to on the system. These changes mentioned above have been seen on Windows 7. On Windows 8/8. 1 Enable. LUA does not change to disabled. So when the slider is moved to Never notify the values changed are only. This applies to Windows 7/8 and 8. DO NOT logon using local admin account, if local admin rights are required better add their domain account to the local administrators group. If for whatever reason logging on using the local admin account is a necessity then best set this UAC policy to enabled. User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the built- in Administrator account“Filter. Administrator. Token”=dword: 0. Another option would be to look into renaming or deleting the executables Mcx. Prov. exe, sysprep. DLL hijacking fails. Finally if users do require local admin privileges then worth setting their machine UAC policy to Always notify and they live with the constant notifications. User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode (2- Prompt for consent on the secure desktop)Conclusion. This bypass only works when all of the requirements are available to abuse. Remove one requirement and the bypass will fail. Office documents are opened in medium integrity so these are ideal targets to abuse the UAC bypass. Since these bypasses are so effortlessly achieved the only real course of action would be to set UAC to “Always notify” or remove local admin rights for the user. In the end using agents like Microsoft EMET or Malware.

How to Install and Configure Windows Server 2. DHCP Server. Introduction. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a core infrastructure service on any network that provides IP addressing and DNS server information to PC clients and any other device. DHCP is used so that you do not have to statically assign IP addresses to every device on your network and manage the issues that static IP addressing can create. More and more, DHCP is being expanded to fit into new network services like the Windows Health Service and Network Access Protection (NAP). However, before you can use it for more advanced services, you need to first install it and configure the basics. Let’s learn how to do that. Installing Windows Server 2. DHCP Server. Installing Windows Server 2. DCHP Server is easy. DHCP Server is now a “role” of Windows Server 2. To do this, you will need a Windows Server 2. IP address. You will need to know your network’s IP address range, the range of IP addresses you will want to hand out to your PC clients, your DNS server IP addresses, and your default gateway. Additionally, you will want to have a plan for all subnets involved, what scopes you will want to define, and what exclusions you will want to create. To start the DHCP installation process, you can click Add Roles from the Initial Configuration Tasks window or from Server Manager / Roles / Add Roles. Figure 1: Adding a new Role in Windows Server 2. When the Add Roles Wizard comes up, you can click Next on that screen. Next, select that you want to add the DHCP Server Role, and click Next. Figure 2: Selecting the DHCP Server Role. If you do not have a static IP address assigned on your server, you will get a warning that you should not install DHCP with a dynamic IP address. At this point, you will begin being prompted for IP network information, scope information, and DNS information. If you only want to install DHCP server with no configured scopes or settings, you can just click Next through these questions and proceed with the installation. On the other hand, you can optionally configure your DHCP Server during this part of the installation. In my case, I chose to take this opportunity to configure some basic IP settings and configure my first DHCP Scope. I was shown my network connection binding and asked to verify it, like this: Figure 3: Network connection binding. What the wizard is asking is, “what interface do you want to provide DHCP services on?” I took the default and clicked Next. Next, I entered my Parent Domain, Primary DNS Server, and Alternate DNS Server (as you see below) and clicked Next. Figure 4: Entering domain and DNS information. I opted NOT to use WINS on my network and I clicked Next. Then, I was promoted to configure a DHCP scope for the new DHCP Server. I have opted to configure an IP address range of 1. PC Clients on my local network. To do this, I clicked Add to add a new scope. As you see below, I named the Scope WBC- Local, configured the starting and ending IP addresses of 1. Figure 5: Adding a new DHCP Scope. Back in the Add Scope screen, I clicked Next to add the new scope (once the DHCP Server is installed). I chose to Disable DHCPv. Next. Then, I confirmed my DHCP Installation Selections (on the screen below) and clicked Install. Figure 6: Confirm Installation Selections. After only a few seconds, the DHCP Server was installed and I saw the window, below: Figure 7: Windows Server 2. DHCP Server Installation succeeded. I clicked Close to close the installer window, then moved on to how to manage my new DHCP Server. How to Manage your new Windows Server 2. DHCP Server. Like the installation, managing Windows Server 2. DHCP Server is also easy. Understanding and Resolving IP Address Conflicts. IP address conflicts are usually temporary, but you can't count on them to always resolve themselves. If you are working with, well almost anything network intensive these days, like Antivirus or management tools, your Reverse DNS (rDNS) lookups need to be in good shape. By default on Linksys wireless routers, the DHCP IP address range is typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 and addresses cannot end in 0, 1, or 255. A DHCP Server is a protocol server for TCP/IP networks that supplies IP addresses to other computers. DHCP Server for Windows also supports TFTP, DNS and HTTP. You are welcome to donate whatever you think the software is worth to you. Q-1: How can I see if WinPcap is installed on my system? How can I remove it? A: WinPcap 2.1 or newer: go to the control-panel, then open the. Back in my Windows Server 2. Server Manager, under Roles, I clicked on the new DHCP Server entry. Figure 8: DHCP Server management in Server Manager. While I cannot manage the DHCP Server scopes and clients from here, what I can do is to manage what events, services, and resources are related to the DHCP Server installation. Thus, this is a good place to go to check the status of the DHCP Server and what events have happened around it. However, to really configure the DHCP Server and see what clients have obtained IP addresses, I need to go to the DHCP Server MMC. To do this, I went to Start / Administrative Tools / DHCP Server, like this: Figure 9: Starting the DHCP Server MMCWhen expanded out, the MMC offers a lot of features. Running May Give You More Time Than You Put In. If you think running is a waste of time, you might want to reconsider. A new study suggests that. Here is what it looks like: Figure 1. The Windows Server 2. DHCP Server MMCThe DHCP Server MMC offers IPv. IPv. 6 DHCP Server info including all scopes, pools, leases, reservations, scope options, and server options. Reduce or Eliminate Inconvenient DHCP Address Changes. By Joseph Moran. Previously, we looked at a common situation in which a PC loses a connection to a printer. Lyft has recently rolled out a “shuttle” service that is in beta in San Francisco and Chicago. Since I live in San Francisco, I was able to give this service a. If I go into the address pool and the scope options, I can see that the configuration we made when we installed the DHCP Server did, indeed, work. The scope IP address range is there, and so are the DNS Server & default gateway. Figure 1. 1: DHCP Server Address Pool. Figure 1. 2: DHCP Server Scope Options. So how do we know that this really works if we do not test it? The answer is that we do not. Now, let’s test to make sure it works. How do we test our Windows Server 2. DHCP Server? To test this, I have a Windows Vista PC Client on the same network segment as the Windows Server 2. DHCP server. To be safe, I have no other devices on this network segment. I did an IPCONFIG /RELEASE then an IPCONFIG /RENEW and verified that I received an IP address from the new DHCP server, as you can see below: Figure 1. Vista client received IP address from new DHCP Server. Also, I went to my Windows 2. Server and verified that the new Vista client was listed as a client on the DHCP server. This did indeed check out, as you can see below: Figure 1. Win 2. 00. 8 DHCP Server has the Vista client listed under Address Leases. With that, I knew that I had a working configuration and we are done! In Summary. In this article, you learned how to install and configure DHCP Server in Windows Server 2. During that process, you learned what DHCP Server is, how it can help you, how to install it, how to manage the server, and how to configure DHCP server specific settings like DHCP Server scopes. In the end, we tested our configuration and it all worked! Good luck configuring your Windows Server 2. DHCP Server! Tech. Genix » Articles » How to Install and Configure Windows Server 2.

If your laptop does not start at all or it starts but will not boot properly, it’s possible that you can fix the laptop at home without taking it to a repair center. Here are some troubleshooting tips for you. I’m not sure if I can cover all situation at once, so I will update this post as more examples come into my mind. Situation 1. The laptop appears to be dead. You plug the AC adapter but the LEDs (power light, hard drive light, battery charge light, etc. If the computer suddenly fails to startup properly, perform a hard reset as the first action. Performing the hard reset will correct many problems. You can test the output voltage with a voltmeter. If you cannot do that, find a known good AC adapter and use it for testing the laptop. It is possible the laptop appears to be dead because the AC adapter is bad (and the battery is discharged). If you know that the AC adapter is working properly and it outputs correct voltage but the laptop is still dead, most likely you have a power issue on the motherboard (or power board on some laptops) and it has to be replaced. If you have to replace the AC adapter, make sure you use a correct one. The output voltage must be exactly the same as on the original adapter. The output amperage has to be the same as on the original adapter or higher, but not lower. Situation 2. When you plug the AC adapter the power LED and the battery charge LED light up. When you press on the power button the laptop powers up but will not start. There is no video on LCD or external monitor. If the power LED lights up it indicates that the laptop is getting power from the AC adapter. Most likely there is nothing wrong with the adapter but just in case test it with a voltmeter to make sure the output voltage is correct. Also try this. Unplug the AC adapter, remove the battery and wait for 1- 2 minutes. After that plug the AC adapter ans try starting the laptop again. Sometimes this trick helps. It also could be a memory related problem. Try reseating the memory module, just remove it from the slot on the motherboard and install it back. Try installing the memory module into the other slot (if it’s available). If you have two memory modules installed, try removing them one by one and start the laptop just with one memory module installed. If the laptop starts fine with one memory module in both slots, but will not start with the second memory module in both slots, the second memory module is faulty. Replace the module. If the laptop starts fine with both memory modules when they are installed in the slot A, but will not start with both memory modules installed in the slot B, the slot B is faulty and you’ll have to replace the motherboard or use only one memory slot. Situation 3. When you press on the power button, the laptop makes a series or short and long beeps and will not start up. There is no video on the screen. In this situation test the memory module as I described in the situation. Try installing a known good memory module. Most likely you are getting a beep error because of a faulty memory. Situation 4. You start the laptop. It sounds like the laptop is booting normally (hard drive LED is flashing) but there is no video on the screen. In this situation test the laptop with an external monitor. If the external screen works fine but there is no video on the laptop LCD, most likely there is a problem inside the laptop display assembly. Go to my previous post witch covers laptop video problems in more details. Situation 5. You start the laptop and it starts making repetitive clicking noise or grinding noise. Most likely you hear this noise because of a faulty hard drive. You can remove the hard drive and start the laptop without it. If the noise is gone, the hard drive is your problem. Replace it. If the laptop makes clicking or grinding noises and you still have video on the screen, you can run a hard drive test utility. I usually use Hitachi’s drive fitness test. This test is reliable and easy to use. Situation 6. The laptop boots into Windows ans works for a while, but after that it shuts down by itself without any reason or warning. You restart the laptop but the same problem appears again. Most likely it’s a heat related issue. Listen for the cooling fan, make sure it works. Also this problem might appear because of a faulty memory module, try some tips from the situation 2. The laptop still boots ans you still can see the screen, so you can run the memory test.
There are a few things to take a look at with your system if your computer locks up and won't boot. My computer locks up and won’t boot. What do I do? Your computer. When you first turn on your Mac, the screen is off (black) and you hear a startup chime. Your Mac initializes its BootROM and memory (RAM). I am getting the "Black Screen of Death" when booting up, it started a couple of days ago with no change in hardware configuration, no new software was installed, and. I usually use Memtest. Run the memory test and if it fails, replace the faulty module. Situation 6. The laptop starts normally but video on the screen has lines, some strange characters or other defects. It could indicate a problem with the laptop LCD screen, video cable, graphics card or motherboard. Here’s my previous post witch covers troubleshooting bad images on the screen in more details.

How To Get A Detailed Fragmentation Report in Windows 7 or Vista. Why Does Disk Fragmentation Happen? Fragmentation is a by- product of how the file system works. Ideally, all the data on a hard drive would be written sequentially, in a circular pattern on a platter on the drive, allowing for a direct, or bitwise, reading of the hard drive. When we delete a file, however, it may leave a gap in the smooth flow of data. Windows has no qualms about storing data in these gaps, even if it involves only putting part of a large file in the first gap it finds, another part in the next gap, etc. It’s sort of like trying to fit square pegs into a round hole. When defragmentation reaches the point where dealing with it is causing too much movement of the read heads in the hard drive and really slowing down drive access, the disk needs to be defragged. To be fair, Microsoft has gotten better and better at avoiding significant fragmentation, so the need to run defragmentation is much decreased in Vista and Windows 7. Alternative defragmentation tools have been mentioned for years and years now, as most people deem the default defragmenter that comes with Windows to be insufficient. Freeware heaven!
