Reading Time: 2 minutesSometimes you need to verify your security products to be sure that they are working properly and they are able to recognize malware patterns. For example, to just verify that Malware detection methods in Veeam Backup & Replication 12 are working as expected!

Reading Time: 2 minutesCome ogni prodotto software, anche Windows 10 ha un ciclo di vita e una data prevista di EOF (end of live). Cosa succende al termine del ciclo di vita? Che ovviamente non vi saranno più aggiornamenti (salvo rare eccezioni) e questo può diventare un grave problema di sicurezza! Negli scorsi mesi, in molti avranno visto un messaggio di questo tipo:

Reading Time: 4 minutesIPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is a widely used protocol for network communication and is a core component of the TCP/IP stack. But it has some limits, one is the limit in terms of available addresses, expecially if we are talking about public IP. IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) was design to resolve all the limitation of IPv4. IPv6 is designated by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as the successor to IPv4 providing the following benefits:

Reading Time: 2 minutesMicrosoft warned customers to patch a critical TCP/IP remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability that impacts all Windows systems (client and server) using IPv6 stack. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2024-38063 and it’s a 9.8-out-of-10 on the CVSS severity scale. Note that, on Windows systems the IPv6 is enabled by default and, in the past, Microsoft itself has not recommend disabling IPV6: ” We do not recommend that you disable IPv6 or its components, or some Windows components may not function.” (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929852)

One is using an in-place upgrade of Windows Server that can work (in theory). The second one is decommisioning your connection server and replace with a new one (and repeat if you have more). The strategy really depends of the size of your environment and how much is production critical. With a dev or lab environment single server, the in-place OS upgrade could make sense.

Reading Time: 7 minutesA meno che venerdì scorso non eravate in vacanza in modalità completamente off-line (beati voi), di sicuro saprete del venerdì nero (informaticamente parlando) che ha letteralmente paralizzato molti servizi informatici in tutto il mondo (ad esempio il settore trasporto, con voli cancellati o in ritardo di molte ore). Il problema, secondo stime di Microsoft, ha interessato 8,5 milioni di computer basati su Windows. Ma Microsoft non centra, se non indirettamente (perchè solo i sistemi Windows sono stati colpiti). Il blocco informatico non è dovuto ad un attacco, ma è bensì stato causato da un problema […]

Reading Time: 3 minutesHotpatching is a way to install OS security updates on some supported Windows Server editions running in virtual machines (VMs) that doesn’t require a reboot after installation. It works by patching the in-memory code of running processes without the need to restart the process.  Actually hotpatch is supported only on VMs and Azure Stack HCI created from images with the exact combination of publisher, offer and sku from the below OS images list:
