The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hacker on my system from foreign domain

Asked by saw1197 in Operating Systems Network Security, Networking Security Vulnerabilities, Windows Network Security

Tags: , ,

I currently have a network running in 14 different geographic locations across 3 states.  My corporate network is in a frame-relay cloud, all except for 2 of the locations.  One of the locations is hooked to DSL and they work via a citrix connection over the internet.  One of the end users was complaining that they couldn't log in with usual name and password.  Even the admin password wouldn't work to get in the system.  After using a workaround to get into the system, one of my staff actually viewed the hacker inside of the computer creating an executable and running a password hacking program.  The hacker would go to an ftp site with a .ru extension.  (Russia?)  I believe that was on the 62.0.0.0 network block.  Anyway, he would go to the system 32 folder and create his own folder named "mui".  Inside this folder would be the executable of the program he downloaded from the ftp site.  He would rename the executable "svchost".  Now the program was running as a service.  I don't think he knew we were watching at first, but if we could see him through vnc and the end user couldn't see a thing, doesn't he have to be getting in through a hacked vnc password?  If it were remote desktop, I wouldn't be able to see his session.  These guys always seem to be one step ahead and I was wondering what the experts would recommend as the best training ideas for my staff and the best preventive measures to keep anything like this from happening again?  Sorry for the long winded explanation...Start Free Trial
