Preface
Security is the one issue that will either make or break Microsoft
Corporation. Microsoft has "bet the company" on their .NET strategy, yet
hackers threaten to topple the delicate structure at every turn.
Microsoft itself has admitted that it has a long way to go to build
public confidence in its security.
Unfortunately, it seems that every time Microsoft security takes a step
upward, hackers knock it right back down. In fact, the threat to .NET
became so critical that Bill Gates himself felt compelled to realign the
entire company with security at the forefront. In January 2002 Gates
delivered an epochal memo announcing that Microsoft must henceforth make
security its highest priority. This "Trustworthy Computing" memo
reflected Gates' anguish over years of stinging criticism. His ultimatum
echoed what hackers have been saying for years: Microsoft must get
secure, or fail.
The .NET vision is built upon three pillars. One pillar that has come
under fire from critics is the .NET Framework. This distributed
programming technology has pushed software on to the Internet as a
service. Even before its official release, independent experts found
security flaws in the .NET Framework. Moreover, future vulnerabilities
are likely to be worse. At its heart the .NET Framework is distributed
programming, which in theory could magnify threats from distributed
hacking, viruses, and denial-of-service attacks.
The second pillar of .NET is the enhanced user experience. With .NET,
Microsoft is attempting to maximize functionality while minimizing
hassles. Largely, this is a public relations challenge. .NET does
provide an enhanced user experience, but itwill be difficult to market
this advantage while security concerns overshadow the technology.
The book you are holding deals with the third pillar of the .NET vision,
namely, the base operating system forming the cynosure of the .NET
vision. .NET Server is not only a pillar, but it is also the impressive
foundation upon which the entire .NET Framework rests. This book covers
the security architecture of .NET Server and shows you how protect your
enterprise from hackers.
.NET Server is often used as a generic term that encompasses all of
Microsoft's enterprise management tools, including Exchange Server, SQL
Server, Biz Talk Server, and more. However, the real Windows .NET Server
is the base OS with which we are familiar. It is the next generation of
its mighty predecessor, Windows 2000 Server.
Since vulnerable clients are the Achilles' heel of secure servers, this
book also covers Windows XP Professional, the preferred client for .NET
Server. Ironically, the increasing use of IPSec-encrypted "tunnels"
(Virtual Private Networks) means a vulnerable remote client opens a back
door through which hackers can reach the very heart of your corporate
network. Why attack the castle's ramparts when you can easily slip in
through the open postern? Thus, this book also addresses security
concerns specific to the Windows XP Pro clients that interface with .NET
Server.
Windows .NET Server is Microsoft's contender to beat Linux in the server
market. Security may be the deciding factor in determining which of
these two platforms achieves ascendancy. With the impressive security
architecture of .NET Server, Microsoft now has a fighting chance.
