Vista :: There Is A Problem With This Website's Security Certificate
Jan 26, 2008
i got a new computer with vista and i was attempting to check out one of my own websites and i get the following error:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
Click here to close this webpage.
Continue to this website (not recommended).
i guess at that initial point, most people will bail. but if they are brave enough to forge ahead, they then get this:
This error occurs when the certificate has been issued by a certification authority that is not recognized by Internet Explorer. It is unlikely that this error will occur on a legitimate business or banking site. Phishing sites often attempt to use fake certificates that will trigger this error.
and of course, there is no lock icon at the bottom of the page. there is not even a way for me to install the certificate. this seems libelous to me.

In my /tmp folder I found a file bind.tar.gz and an unpacked directory called bind which contains a bot script.
I've tried figuring out where it came from, but after scanning some logs I didn't find the source.... Could anyone tell me what steps to take to find how it got there and from what user, so I can have them close the leak?

how to best secure logins and password storage, I'm trying to come up with a set of tools to make this easier, but first I'd like to hear opinions if my ideas are feasible, and most importantly secure.
Most scripts (including very popular ones like phpBB) send the password & username over http and then perform an MD5 hash on the sent password on the server and compares it to the hash stored in the database.
I'm thinking this is really quite insecure for more then a few reasons.
1) The password could easily be sniffed since it's sent in plain-text
2) MD5 is a pretty weak hashing algorithms with plenty of exposed vulnerabilities
3) If a hacker was to get their hands on the database, they could just brute force (birthday, rainbow tables, etc) the passwords and get the passwords to a large group of users in a fairly limited time since people are horrible with their passwords
I'm thinking a secure alternative could be something like...
1) Combine the password and username client side (via js) and send the username over plain text, but instead of the password send a hash (preferably with a strong algorithm like SHA256) to the server.
-- This would increase the work of a hacker that managed to sniff out the connection right? This shouldn't be a major drain on bandwidth (SHA256 JS Code < 3.5 Kbs) and the length of the hash shouldn't cause any major additional load, right?
-- Obviously HTTPS would be a much better solution, but that's quite a bit harder to implement.
2) The server should then perform plenty of operations on the hash sent by the password, the most important of which would be salting the hash and rehashing the result.
-- This would make it nearly impossible to use rainbow tables, and a hacker would have to separately brute force each users password?
Okay, the set of tools for developers I've mentioned early in this post is available at [url], I'd like some opinions on whether this is even a good idea, and if I'm doing anything (or nothing ) right. I'm going to be making additions to common applications to help increase the level of security in the passwords department.

I use phpbb for my forum. When you go to my forum and log in, a security certificate pops up and I have no idea why. This problem started today.
I called Ipower (my host) and they did not help.
Here is the link to my forum
[url]
If you log in you will see the certificate.
Username: bigbob
Pass: ncoic
If I use firefox to login I don’t see the certificate. If I use I.E. I do.
I can’t login nor can any of my customers because of this certificate. No matter what I try it does me no good. But what really bugs me, this problem just started today and never occurred before. Ipower kept saying they don’t know what happen, they don’t know my code (whatever that means). All I know is yesterday all was fine and today it is not and I made no code changes since yesterday.

Kevin Yank's book does not deal with Vista, and I'm completely stuck - whereas it was straightforward to install PHP on XP, nothing fits with Vista's IIS. Any idea where I could find the procedure ? I've tried quite a few sites, but nada.

I can not login to any of my cpanels with vista I've tried FF and IE7 and I can't get in.
The crazy thing is that I can get into my WHM but I can't even login to the cpanels from there.
I don't have the firewall on and everything that I know of is off.....

I'm moving from my old XP PC to a new PC with Vista (a mistake, but that's a different story).
I'm trying to set up some sites in IIS so that I can develop locally without having to publish to a remote web server.
I've installed IIS7 from the control panel, and am now looking to set up my first site. I've put the site name in, and the path to the site on the computer, but I'm getting an error in the 'bindings' section. I've left all of this empty because I don't know what it means (it didn't ask for any of this in IIS on XP) but when I try to add the site it gives me the following error:
"The binding '*:80:' is assigned to another site. If you assign the same binding to this site, you will only be able to start one of the sites. Are you sure that you want to add this duplicate binding?"
Does anyone know what to do here? I'll need to add about 100 domains to IIS so I want them all to be accessible locally. How do I do this?

I have Vista Premium. I just added IIS7 to it. When I run IIS Manager I get an error window saying:
"The file that stores your list of connections and layout preferences is corrupt and cannot be recovered. The US Manager connection list and layout will return to the default state."
Then when I click on OK I get another "Failed to Connect" error window saying:
"There was an error connecting. Do you want to specify a different set of credentials?

I have an somewhat unusual requirement. I need a hosted Vista or XP desktop somewhere.
This is not to host a server application. The reason I need it is that I need to give my staff access to an application that only runs on an XP or vista desktop environment, and I dont want the software in question installed on their pc, instead they will log on via remote desktop and use it that way. The application does *not* run on Win Server 2003.
I have looked high and low, but all the Windows VPS services on the market seem to be hosting Win Server 2003 exclusively, which is no use to me. Does anyone out there know if it is possible to get hosted XP or Vista anywhere?
I am aware that there are a couple of providers who will host a vmware vm for you but even they seem to be oriented towards Win Server, which is no use to me.

Well, my company got a Windows 2003 Small Business Server and most of our workstations were running Windows Vista. Now I ran into some issues I thought I'd document for the benefit of those attempting connections of Vista Business and up workstations to a Windows 2003 Small Business Server:
Windows 2003 Small Business Server Vista and Outlook 2007 Compatibility Upgrade
Before you throwing your Vista clients at your Windows 2003 Small Business Server, you're going to need to make sure you have the Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 compatibility update as outlined by KB926505, the knowledge base entry on Vista and Windows 2003 SBS. This will require a restart of the server to fully apply the effects of the patch.
Updating workstations with existing users
Now, you add your users through the Server Management tool, and it tells you to run [url]on the client workstation to setup the process. Before you do this, you need to separate out your systems with existing users (and thus profiles) and your systems with no established users. For the ones that have existing users, you'll need to install a Win32_UserProfile WMI patch. If you don't apply this patch, then you can't migrate your local PC user settings to the Windows 2003 SBS associated user when you run the setup (Unless you install the patch, then re-run the wizard).
Running the connection wizard
Okay, so let's say your server is named SBS2003, now you point your client workstation to [url]and you'll be asked for the username and password of an existing user on the Windows 2003 SBS. Enter it in and 2 things can happen:
Runs without a hitch
You get an error about copying Client Setup files
Now here's the painful one. There's a number of ways to approach this issue, so be sure to go through them all:
Point your DNS servers to the Windows 2003 SBS and ONLY the Windows 2003 SBS. This solved my particular issue.
You may have an issue with required encryption in IIS. See this post for a possible solution.
You may have an issue with TCP offload. Check this post for more information. Basically you need to disable it.
IIS is bound to a specific IP. Try changing it to "All Unassigned" instead.
Now then, the wizard should run, and your workstation should now be latched onto the domain Not quite done yet though.
Network Discovery
I found my workstations couldn't see network machines after I attached them to the network. Trying to turn on Network Discovery in the Network Sharing Center seemed to fail. To rectify this, I took 2 steps:
Enabled Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) for the domain to get my network map. You'll also need to make sure LLTD is enabled on your NIC properties as well (in the form of a checked box).
I had to turn on Network Discovery and File and Printer Sharing in the Windows Firewall settings. To do this I did: Control Panel
Windows Firewall
Bring up the exceptions tab
Make sure Network Discovery and File and Printer Sharing were enabled
Then viola, network thar she blows. Also, I found that when I shared directories on the Windows 2003 SBS and the client had permissions to access the share, it wouldn't showup until I went to the Publish tab in the share's properties on the server and made it published on active directory. After doing that and refreshing my Windows 2003 SBS showed up in the Network.

Yesterday I could reach all of my cPanels on a Vista laptop; today they all time out. I can reach them with other computers. It doesn't matter if I go to mysite.com/cpanel or mysite.com:2082. I even added a port 2082 under Windows Firewall; no change. I'm not using any 3rd party firewalls. I did install a bittorrent client last night, then uninstalled it when it didn't work.

I have a customer that relies heavily on her email (sends/receives about 200 emails each day). Last Friday we traded her Windows XP computer for a new Windows Vista system.
Now since that time one of her main contacts is unable to receive any emails. She is able to receive messages from that contact but the replies are not received by the customer. I talked with the technical support group on the receiving end and they tracked it back and said that the emails are sitting in their spam filter.
What change(s) were made that changed this trusted email account to a spam account just by upgrading to Vista? I ran the DNS Tools Spam tool and the domain and IP address is not listed in any database. The only thing that showed was something about the PTR not found in the domain record. Is this something that is required?

When I try to activate IIS7 in Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit everything seems to go well but after a while when the progress bar has gone full and that window has disappeared an error message appears saying "An error has occured. Not all features were successfully changed". If I don't restart immediately but instead try to open the IIS7 default page it's up. But after rebooting it's gone. The iis7.log says:

My roommate ran into this problem a few weeks ago. He could not connect to a webserver. Turns out it is the way that some of the ports are being handled when passive FTP is used.
I was wondering if a lot of web hosting companies are seeing some complaints of (passive) FTP not working properly? And who are you blaming?
He had to install some firmware updates to the Linksys router as well but then that started to crash the Internet connection (something we cannot have). So the router update was uninstalled.
He had to do quite a bit and finally started to use the control panel to upload. He has not tried FileZilla yet but I tried it on my system to connect to his server and it failed.

I'd like to ask for opinion what is the best way to backup a client PC in Windows XP/Vista platform.
For example, each PC has a folder inside c:Server
Every 17:00 hours, the PC will FTP all data inside c:Server to backup server.
When it is done, the manager is able to access to his files & do his work remotely online via the server at night in his home. Another reason to have this backup is because they want to secure all the files from any viruses or any accidents in the office during non office hours as the files is important to them. The next morning, he is able to continue his work as normal when files are being merged.
Any kind of such solution available?

I run a web hosting company and one of my servers is a LAMP server running CentOs 5. A user of mine has a Joomla installation running to manage his website and he has run into the following problem that I am puzzled by.
When Joomla adds a component or module to itself, or when a user uses the Joomla upload functionality, Joomla will add the new files under the user name "apache". This makes sense as it is the apache service running PHP that is actually creating the files.
However, when he FTP's into the account to modify these files, he doesn't have the appropriate permissions to do so as he doesn't have a root level login, just permissions on his home directory which is the site. Any help would be much appreciated.
Also, does anyone know how to change the owner/group of a directory and all of its sub directories in Linux without changing the actual permissions? I.e. some of the files in the folder have different permissions (0644 as apposed to 0755) than its parent but if I do a top down user/group change on the folder it will change everything in that folder to 0755.

I have a pretty 'beefy' VPS (Future Host 'Titanium' plan, 1Gb RAM, equal share, 750 Mb bandwidth, 50Gb disk).
I'm using it mostly to host relatively small, low-traffic Wordpress sites. Right now, there are about 40 domains & blogs set up.
The majority see only a few dozen visitors per day. A few have traffic around 100 visitors, and 1 or 2 may get up to 500 per day.
My question is, what might be a comfortable limit on domains/blogs I can host before I should start thinking about adding a 2nd VPS?

I have three domains that I want to host myself on my own computer. Two are temporary sites that I only put up on Memorial Day weekend for the Detroit Electronic Music Festival or Movement 09 to direct people to my after parties and the other site is a two page bio site for myself. I have a very tight budget this year and I can't afford to pay for web hosting all year round when these are only temporary sites even though I own the domain names all year round. I do know some of the promoters for the festival do the hosting themselves.
