In this module we are going to look at legacy Windows Desktops. This includes Windows 98 and Me, which are similar. The most important thing to know about Windows 98 and ME is there is no file security and there is no authentication necessary. Even if you configure the system for multiple users and have a password screen at bootup, anyone can hit “Cancel” and still get in. Access to files depends on access to the machine. | Windows Security Day 5 Security Essentials The SANS Institute Windows 98 ME Security - SANS 2001 1 This page intentionally left blank. 1 - 1 Agenda Windows Legacy Desktops - Overview - Security Issues Windows NT - Overview - Security Issues Windows 2000 - Overview - Security Issues Windows 2000 XP Desktops Windows Legacy Desktop Security - SANS 2001 2 This page intentionally left blank. 1 -2 Agenda cont.
