Microsoft challenges BackOrifice myths<br>
<br>
With the release this week of Windows NT hacking tool "BackOrifice
2000,"<br>
Microsoft has launched an informational campaign of its own, designed to<br>
derail myths about the malicious program. According to a report on<br>
Microsoft's Security Advisor Web site, BackOrifice 2000 is a remote control<br>
application that must be stealthily installed so that attackers can take<br>
over a Windows NT-based network. The program enables remote hackers to do<br>
anything they could do were they to be logged onto the machine locally: Run<br>
programs, delete files, and the like.<br>
<br>
"BackOrifice 2000 is a remote-access tool that was developed with the
intent<br>
of harming users," says Jason Garms, the lead product manager for Windows
NT<br>
security at Microsoft. "It is a tool that has no legitimate purpose other<br>
than exposing users' machines to people on the Internet. Users who are<br>
tricked into getting this thing installed on their system are vulnerable to<br>
the attacker, who can then do anything that the victim can do--move the<br>
mouse, open files, run programs, etc.--which is little different from what<br>
legitimate remote-control software can do. Back Orifice, however, is<br>
designed to be stealthy and evade detection by the user."<br>
<br>
For BackOrifice to find its way onto your system the hacker must have<br>
physical access to the machine with a valid login or you must be tricked<br>
into installing it; typically this is accomplished by sending users the<br>
program as an email attachment that must be executed. To prevent this<br>
program from taking over your system, just use common sense: Always run an<br>
anti-virus program with up-to-date virus definitions and don't let anyone<br>
gain unauthorized physical access to your machine. Perhaps most importantly,<br>
don't execute email attachments from unknown people.<br>
<br>
One of the biggest myths perpetrated by the makers of BackOrifice is that<br>
program takes advantage of security inadequacies that are inherent in<br>
Windows and Windows NT. This is simply not true: BackOrifice could have been<br>
written to attack *any* kind of computer system. The hackers that wrote it<br>
simply decided to attack Windows, which is the most popular computing<br>
platform by far. In fact, as Microsoft notes, BackOrifice doesn't actually<br>
target Windows per se at all: It targets users, who often don't understand<br>
security issues well enough to not execute email attachments from unknown<br>
sources.<br>
<br>
Another common myth centers on the goal for BackOrifice: In an attempt to<br>
protect themselves from legal problems, the creators of BackOrifice are<br>
pretending that it is a legitimate remote control application. However, this<br>
is not the case: BackOrifice is designed to escape detection and exceeds the<br>
needs of remote control software. And it doesn't prompt the user when it<br>
installs on the system.<br>
<br>
"The creators [of BackOrifice] claim that this is a useful administration<br>
tool, but it doesn't even prompt people when it installs itself on the<br>
system. It doesn't warn them that it's getting installed. And, once it's<br>
installed, it makes the system available to other people on the Internet.<br>
That is a malicious act," says Garms. "I am personally unaware of any
major<br>
customers of ours who consider this to be a remote administration tool as<br>
the folks who created it claim. Quite the contrary, they consider it a piece<br>
of malicious code. Unfortunately, there are some users who were duped by the<br>
press releases from the organization that released the software, and did<br>
install it on their systems."<br>

Microsoft bringing USB hardware to the Macintosh<br>
<br>
Microsoft Corporation will announce the availability of its first USB<br>
hardware for the Macintosh, the IntelliMouse Explorer, a "no ball"
mouse<br>
that the company will release this fall for Windows as well. According to<br>
rumors, Microsoft will also be porting other USB hardware to the Macintosh,<br>
including possibly all of the company's joystick/entertainment hardware,<br>
such as the FreeStyle Pro GamePad and the Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick.<br>
<br>
Expect an official announcement from Microsoft at MacWorld New York next<br>
week.<br>
