Auditing Windows NT 4.0
Sven Lehmberg (Siemens)
Protecting Windows NT systems also depend on the configuration of all features and functions available. As the actual status of any installation might be unknown it is mandatory to understand what to look for to assess that status. The presentation goes into the details how to do such audit.

CERTs in Europe
Andrew CormackAndrew Cormack (GB)
Since 1993 CERTs in Europe at least yearly met to exchange information and keep everyone up to date about recent developments. Since Summer 1999 there is a new effort - facilitated by TERENA as umbrella organization for national research and educational networks - to have regular meetings and coordinate efforts that might be beneficial for all teams. Andrew reviewed this new approach.

Practical Tool for checking on Windows NT security
Dirk Reimers (SecuNET)
Based on his development of CastingNT Dirk showed the amount of information which is available for Windows NT systems with a limited amount of highly automated probing. He also discussed how the information changes depending on the level of access the probing user is already granted (for example as CastingNT is run by a legitimate user).

TIPSI - A Trusted Introducer for European
Don StikvoortKlaus-Peter KossakowskiDon Stikvoort (NL), Klaus-Peter Kossakowski (DFN-CERT Services GmbH, DE), Klaus-Peter Kossakowski (Software Engineering Institute, DE)
Within the past few month, there was reasonable discussion among European CSIRTs how to react on the end of the EuroCERT project. One outcome was to formalize the previously informally handled introducer process. Instead of relying on volunteers to bring in new teams into the already established web of trust, the necessary basis for this should be established by an entity, collecting authentic and timely information about existing CSIRTs. With TIPSI, a process and criteria were developed, to facilitate these.
