Delving deep into Windows 2k...
 

Wow I'm finding all kinds of shit...creating snap ins, weird services...all kinds of stuff that could be potentially self destructive in my hands...


I should probably back up my whole shagang right now...

Anyone got a good reason why Remote Registry Service is important?


Otherwise I'm pullin the plug...


And this messenger service...its seems I can use it to logon to other computers on a network...?

Uh, disable Messenger dude.

Do you have any clue what you're doing? :1orglaugh

Actually I kinda do...I like to leave messenger open so I can messge the script kiddies...


I am curious about the remote registry service though...

HAXOR!!

If you are using Win2k and IIS kill all of these services,


Alerter
ClipBook
Computer Browser
DHCP Client
DHCP Server
Fax Service
File Replication
INfrared Monitor
Internet Connection Sharing
Messenger
NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing
Network DDE
Network DDE DSDM
NWLink NetBIOS
NWLink IPX/SPX
Print Spooler
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service
Telephony
Telnet
Uninterruptible Power Supply

None are needed for most web servers.
