Well we are getting hacked over and over right now, I fix all the holes I can find, and they hack me again, it is becoming a game.. Anyone in here good at win2k security that wants to lend a hand?

Right now you can get to i-hacked by http://24.163.150.165

Get rid of the crappy win2k and install a real OS.

Locking down W2K itself should be simple. If you're talking about IIS 4.0/5.0, or any of the hideous MS server offerings, dump them and get Apache on there.

Hmm... How strange, a Microsoft product that is insecure?? Dumping Win2k was my thought too, but then again, if everyone stopped using Microsoft's products because they were faulty and insecure, Microsoft would go out of business and that wouldn't be good for the nations economy. Think about all those people who's job it is to go to work in the morning and re-boot their Microsoft servers. It would be total chaos!!

Perhaps if you talk to it and give it encouraging comments, make sure it eats all it's vegtables at dinner and in a few more years when it grows up it will be a big operating system! :)

I'm just curious... Is IIS the problem or is Windows 2000 itself vulnerable to these hacks? I'm guessing dropping every incoming port other than 80 doesn't work?

Big it is already, now it just have to grow up to an operating system )

Oh come on, I think the programmers at Redmond can produce a lot more bloated code, after all the operating system still fits on one CDROM, in another couple of years you will need a tera-byte drive just to install the basic operating system.

There is plenty room for the operating system to grow! (After all, we do need better wallpaper and the OpenGL screen savers haven't been updated in a several years)

Windows 2005 Minimum system requirments-
Pentium 10 - 5.3 gigahertz with liquid nitrogen cooling system
3 Gb RAM
2 Terabyte hard drive (1.5 Terabytes free)
ps/2 pointing device (bio-electronical navigational interface optional)

Hey,

Why don't you go to the MS Security WebSite. It will give you the tools to close out IIS and W2K to make it much less vulnerable.

To start a firestorm, FYI guys, recent studies on security found that UNIX and LINUX flavors have MORE security holes than MS!!!

Stick that in your pipe! ;)

That's the hack. Most people lump all *nix(AIX,IRIX,LINUX,HPUX,etc) into one category. The holes kinda add
up then.

A better statistic is the amount of time it takes for a security hole to be patched %^)

The study I saw broke out the *NIX out seperately, and only BEOS had fewer vulnerabilities than MS NT / 2K and 9x. What I find hillarious, the most secure OS is a MAC. Probably because there is no reason to hack them and MAC servers are as hard to find as a virgin in Bangkok :)
