Updates...

Well, I've been very busy :) and the sky in my area has been very very hazy! it's like living in smoking city! just like if you went to a meeting room with 20 team members with 18 of them smoking :) well, though I smoke, but I'm not part of the 18, coz it's enough to kill your lung if you stuck there for 1 hour. Luckily, I'll be traveling up north to for a week plus then head down to Singapore for few days, situation over there are not too bad compare to where I stay now. 

Anyway, here's what I read for the past few days.
a) Patch day - from Jeffery's blog with 3 critical, 1 important, 2 moderate and 1 re-released. Thought none are direct IIS related, few are linked to IIS including the printer spooler for Internet printing, kerberos vulnerability in Windows Integrated authentication.

b) Citibank - defeating virtual keyboard. In my country, I think they implemented this a month ago, it is so not user friendly and dumb. You know you need to 'click' your pin over the predefined button, rather than normal PIN number input field. And yesterday, I read one article showing the POC to defeat this so called 'security technology' :)

c) W2k Security Update Rollup 1 - re-release! with so many issues with the previous release, Microsoft has decided to release the package again soon, refer this kb.

d) Top 10 useful Microsoft blogs - from Redmond magazine. Well, two of the msmvps.com blogs make it to the list (Susan and Donna) and although I'm not as prolific compare to the two lovely ladies, but I'll not agree with the author comments about his thoughts on other msmvps.com bloggers“...But it seemed most of those I clicked on were hopelessly out of date...“ hopeless? mmm...  'most of those' ? or maybe I'm just being sensitive? oh well... bla bla bla

e) Chris Crowe in the house !!! the former owner of IISfaq.com is back! and still an IIS MVP. We actually exchanged couple of emails few year ago before I was adwarded, a nice guy indeed. Now, he is rambling and blogging about IIS.

That's all for now, time to get back to work :(
