How can you distinguish a 'false positive'?

The IPS generated an alert, SMB Remote Registry Access Attempt. How to investigate the alert? I ran a couple of spyware programs on the host and found some cookies-generaly clean. At what point is the alert resigned as a false positive?
“Triggers when a client attempts to access the registry on the Windows server. Microsoft tools like REGEDIT provide the ability to access a servers registry over the network. There are several hacking tools that also provide similar capabilities. Every attempted access will cause an alarm to be sent. An attacker can cause serious damage to a computer system by changing the registry.”

You should start by looking for documented benign triggers:

In this case, the benign triggers should tell you what you need to know.

  • How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?

    How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?
    I have a few large documents written in word 2003 format and now I work on them under word 2007.
    Such large documents containing lots of special characters.  I want to change them into Microsoft 3.0 equation form（It is required by the team). I find no way but using function AddOLEObject and  Sendkeys through VBA. Common characters can be added
    to equation by function Sendkeys, but the return value of Asc() or AscW() for "double arrow", "in" , " not greater than " such special characters or signs, to name but a few are the same ,i.e., 40 And I cannot distinguish them.
    I found the link http://msdn.itags.org/word/44333/ may be of use to me, and the title is:
    How to read symbols from a DOC documents! (Microsoft Word)
     the original question is
    Using function "InsertSymbol", I can insert a symbol into a document. But
    how can I read a symbol from a document?
    Using "Characters(i).range.text", I can read a char. But when meeting a
    symbol, the value of "Characters(i).range.text" is always '('.How can I get the CharacterNumber of the symbol.
    And the final answer is :
    Hi chenfeng,
    Word protects symbols from symbol fonts if you insert them from the "Insert
    > Symbol" dialog.
    This is done so they aren't changed when you change the font or style. But
    it also results in Word reporting AscW( ) = 40 on all of them.
    I've posted a macro to "unprotect" them (or to protect them again if you
    want) ... just today again in

    Can anyone with kindness help me? Thaks a lot.

    Following Cindy Meister's Advice ,I use MathType SDK.
    The sample in MathType SDK in the following may be meaningful,but I do not know how the MTEF for cos^^2Theta, MTEF for sin^^2Theta and MTEF for 1 are generated .
    It looks much complicated,and I searched the docs in MathType SDK to get a explanation.Is there any function to generate them? I want to use this method to change commaon text mathematical signs( in special character table) and  Greek letters and characters
    with subscripts and superscripts to Microsoft 3.0 equation form.

  • How can I distinguish between the first and the rest in Smartforms??

    I have made an Invoice in Smartform. I have to take three copies of that. In the first copy it will be printed "ORGINAL INVOICE" and in the next copies it will print "Duplicate copy".  How can I distinguish between the first and the rest in Smartforms??

    Hello Vamshi,
    As per the OP's requirement he has to print 3 copies of the invoice. Which according to my understanding should be printed at the same time ? May be i am wrong in interpreting this.
    You must be knowing you can control the print params of the SmartForms in CONTROL_PARAMETERS where you set the NO_DIALOG & in the OUTPUT_OPTIONS pass the number of copies.
    I think the solution you have proposed the "Original Copy" will be printed only once. (Correct me if i am wrong)
    Every time the user prints the invoice again he will be getting a "Duplicate Copy". If this is what the OP wants the logic is perfect
    Cheers,
    SUhas

    You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
    I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

  • How  can you load local server urls on application start?

    Background:
    I've been searching for close to two days for an answer to this question, it's full of gotchas and I can't quite get it figured out.
    I have an application which contains several web services. These services load up listeners when the services are invoked which makes them available for input. The user has the option of disabling automatic load of these services and invoking them manually by typing in the local url and starting the app. The can allow the autoload which uses a the or allowing the auto load to start. Currently the local url is hardcoded in a property file and this is how the services knows the local endpoint to envoke when it autostarts.
    <servlet id="AutoStart_01">
    <servlet-name>autoStart</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.loadmy.StartupClass.Here</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    This works all fine and well until it's deployed onto a machine that runs a local weblogic cluster that has more than one jvm (and multiple ports) loading the application up.
    Problem
    The question is, how can you get the applicaton to recoginize the local url for the jvm that is running which can be on different ports? Here's what I've tried
    A - Using Inet.Address - This doesn't let you know what port your application is on
    B - Using the load servlet on start up ( Only the init() function is called and the request object hasn't been created and the request object is what contains ther protocol, server and port information)
    C - Loading a jsp page (READ... purposefully loading a jsp page) on application start. The thought here is that this contains a request object, but unfortunately on this doesn't work in my servlet container (currently tomcat 6 but the application is for a web logic machine)
    D - I thought about possibly using System.properties() but no luck there
    I'm at witts end on this one and I know there is something that can recoginze the local servlet container and extract the url and port from it.
    Any suggestions would be great.

  • How can you transfer photos from one phone to another

    How can you transfer photos from phone to phone

    If you are trying to get all the photos from an old phone to your new phone, you could sync the old phone which would create a backup containing your Camera Roll. Then connect the new phone and follow the prompts to register and name your new phone. You will then be given the choice of restoring data to your new phone from a backup of the old phone. This will replace any existing data on the new phone with the data from the backup so it's really the best option if the other phone is new.
    Another option would be to connect the phone to your computer and import your photos to iPhoto or the My Pictures folder. Then you could sync the other phone and under the Photos tab in iTunes you could choose the folders/albums of pictures you want on the phone. They will not be in the Camera Roll, but they will be on the phone.
    I hope this helps.
