Common Windows Security Problem
Written on March 10, 2010 by Jerson
Unfortunately, many Microsoft Windows users are unaware of a common security leak in their network settings.
This is a common setup for network computers in Microsoft Windows:
- Client for Microsoft Networks
- File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
- NetBEUI Protocol
- Internet Protocol TCP/IP
If your setup allows NetBIOS over TCP/IP, you have a security problem:
- Your files can be shared all over the Internet
- Your logon-name, computer-name, and workgroup-name are visible to others.
If your setup allows File and Printer Sharing over TCP/IP, you also have a problem:
- Your files can be shared all over the Internet
Computers that are not connected to any network can also have dangerous network settings because the network settings were changed when Internet was installed.
