	SecurityTracker.com Archives - Microsoft DNS Server Software Susceptible to DNS Cache Poisoning in Default Configuration, Allowing Remote Users to Inject False DNS Records in Certain Situations
		Cache Corruption on Microsoft DNS Servers Release Date: August 31, 2001 Systems Affected Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 systems running Microsoft DNS Server I.
		As a result, a DNS server containing erroneous DNS records may propagate that to a Microsoft DNS server, which may in turn provide the erroneous information to any clients that use the server to obtain DNS information.
		These reports indicate that malicious DNS servers are providing bogus glue records for the generic top-level domain servers (gtld-servers.net) potentially resulting in erroneous results (e.g., failed resolution or redirection) for any DNS request.

	IRCX-City Chat Services: History
		However, the Microsoft servers were soon overrun with trouble-makers, and Bill decided this was not what he truly wanted for his new world so he disbanded the free Chat servers and orphaned the Comic Chat client.
		There were rumours of the Microsoft Chat servers closing for a long time before it actually happened, on 21st February 2001.
		Although initially we attracted Comic Chat users, after the official demise of the MSN servers we began to see a variety of different chat clients.

	MS's IPTV strategy in tatters The Register
		These are likely to also emerge in Microsoft’s TV technology in order to automatically give Microsoft servers a leg up in the Video on Demand market, allowing them to work better with the tightly entwined set top architecture.
		At the time Microsoft announced partnerships with the two public Video on Demand servers specialists, Seachange and Concurrent, announcing them as partners in Microsoft TV Foundation Edition, but they both must have felt an icy chill at the Microsoft advances.
		The Microsoft deal was cut as early as November 2003 and a 600 household trial ran at the end of 2004.

	Microsoft DNS Server Registry Parameters, Part 1 of 3
		DNS servers may be configured to send all their recursive queries to a selected list of servers.
		When a DNS server is using Slave (and Forwarders -- see Forwarders key description), it can stop and fail the query when it does not get a response from any of the forwarders servers /Vs Forwarders: configuration where the DNS server can attempt to resolve the query itself using normal iterative queries.
		And, when a local DNS server forwards a query to it, there is a reasonable chance that it already has the answer (or a head start on getting to the answer) from a previous query it answered for another DNS server.

	Wired News: How, Why Microsoft Went Down
		Because all four DNS servers -- which translate names like microsoft.com into its 207.46.230.218 numeric address -- share the same routers, all are vulnerable to hardware glitches or a technician's error.
		Even though Microsoft's Web servers were still working, for the most part, only users who knew the appropriate numeric IP addresses could get in.
		Microsoft is also betting its future on its ".NET" system, a set of building blocks such as passport.com that envisions the delivery of more services over the Internet.

	Microsoft DNS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Workstations running Microsoft Windows attempt to register their names and their IP addresses with DNS servers, so that other machines may locate them by name and map their IP addresses to their names.
		Servers running Microsoft Windows also attempt to register other information, in addition to their names and IP addresses, such as the locations of the LDAP and Kerberos services that they provide.
		Microsoft's DNS server can be administered using either a graphical user interface, the "DNS management console", or a command line interface, the dnscmd utility.

	NetMeeting 101
		On December 15,1999 Microsoft decided to withdraw all ILS servers that it was running and let 3rd party servers handle the load and instead concentrate on MSN Messenger as vehicle for initiating NetMeeting calls.
		NetMeeting is a real-time communications tool from Microsoft that allows individuals to communicate in pairs or groups over the internet or intranet ( an IP enabled LAN) using audio, video and data communication.
		Unfortunately Microsoft in its infinite wisdom has chosen not to include this item in the XP "Windows Messenger" version.

	Microsoft Web site outages highlight DNS as single point of failure
		Microsoft's DNS servers merely point Web traffic in the direction of its pages, but having all four of them on the same network makes those pages more susceptible to crippling.
		The outages also open Microsoft up to criticism by those who claim that basic networking tactics could have prevented hackers from bringing down the entire DNS system, or at least could have made their task considerably more difficult.
		If DNS servers were spread out, hackers would have to attack each server individually, making their task all the more challenging.

	Update: Microsoft Web sites inaccessible due to server problems - Computerworld
		Earlier in the day, Microsoft spokesman Adam Sohn confirmed that problems with the DNS servers that translate Web site names into the actual IP addresses appeared to be the culprit behind the outages.
		Problems with Microsoft Corp.'s Domain Name System (DNS) servers left the software vendor's heavily used Web sites inaccessible to Internet users starting late last night and continuing for much of Wednesday, according to the company.
		Microsoft had another, unrelated problem with its Web presence yesterday, when a group of hackers who go by the name Prime Suspectz cracked the New Zealand site of the software manufacturer and defaced the home page.

	Securing Microsoft's IIS Web Server
		Perhaps the most important note about this is that IIS servers configured in the manner covered in this course would have been immune to these attacks BEFORE the attacks were discovered and BEFORE Microsoft had ever released patches for them.
		For many of the big worms that attacked in 2001 the root cause allowing the worms to spread is poorly configured Microsoft IIS web servers.
		Learning to deploy IIS properly and securely is the key to prevent the next big worm, or we as a community will have to go through the same mess we went through in 2001 all over again.

	Commentary: Another worm, more patches CNET News.com
		As a "rollup worm," Nimda bundles several known exploits against Microsoft's IIS, Internet Explorer browser and operating systems such as Windows 2000 and Windows XP, which have IIS and IE embedded in their code.
		As the earlier Code Red worm showed, many servers and PCs running IIS Web server processes may not be obvious because they may be run as personal Web servers on the intranet but are still be exposed to the Internet.
		Gartner remains concerned that viruses and worms will continue to attack IIS until Microsoft has released a completely rewritten release of ISS that is thoroughly and publicly tested.
