The web browser may store the cookie and return it to the server together with the next request. For example, a cookie might be used to indicate whether two requests come from the same browser in order to allow the user to remain logged-in. The cookie records stateful information for the stateless HTTP protocol. - -### How does Internet Explorer handle cookies? - -For more information about how Internet Explorer handles cookies, see the following articles: - -- [Beware Cookie Sharing in Cross-Zone Scenarios](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/beware-cookie-sharing-in-cross-zone-scenarios) -- [A Quick Look at P3P](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/a-quick-look-at-p3p) -- [Internet Explorer Cookie Internals FAQ](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/internet-explorer-cookie-internals-faq) -- [Privacy Beyond Blocking Cookies](/archive/blogs/ie/privacy-beyond-blocking-cookies-bringing-awareness-to-third-party-content) -- [Description of Cookies](https://support.microsoft.com/help/260971/description-of-cookies) - -### Where does Internet Explorer store cookies? - -To see where Internet Explorer stores its cookies, follow these steps: - -1. Start File Explorer. -2. Select **Views** \> **Change folder and search options**. -3. In the **Folder Options** dialog box, select **View**. -4. In **Advanced settings**, select **Do not show hidden files, folders, or drivers**. -5. Clear **Hide protected operation system files (Recommended)**. -6. Select **Apply**. -7. Select **OK**. - -The following are the folder locations where the cookies are stored: - -**In Windows 10** -C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache - -**In Windows 8 and Windows 8.1** -C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCookies - -**In Windows 7** -C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies -C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low - -### What is the per-domain cookie limit? - -Since the June 2018 cumulative updates for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, the per-domain cookie limit is increased from 50 to 180 for both browsers. The cookies vary by path. So, if the same cookie is set for the same domain but for different paths, it's essentially a new cookie. - -There's still a 5 Kilobytes (KB) limit on the size of the cookie header that is sent out. This limit can cause some cookies to be lost after they exceed that value. - -The JavaScript limitation was updated to 10 KB from 4 KB. - -For more information, see [Internet Explorer Cookie Internals (FAQ)](/archive/blogs/ieinternals/internet-explorer-cookie-internals-faq). - -#### Additional information about cookie limits - -**What does the Cookie RFC allow?** -RFC 2109 defines how cookies should be implemented, and it defines minimum values that browsers support. According to the RFC, browsers would ideally have no limits on the size and number of cookies that a browser can handle. To meet the specifications, the user agent should support the following: - -- At least 300 cookies total -- At least 20 cookies per unique host or domain name - -For practicality, individual browser makers set a limit on the total number of cookies that any one domain or unique host can set. They also limit the total number of cookies that can be stored on a computer. - -### Cookie size limit per domain - -Some browsers also limit the amount of space that any one domain can use for cookies. This means that if your browser sets a limit of 4,096 bytes per domain for cookies, 4,096 bytes is the maximum available space in that domain even though you can set up to 180 cookies. - -## Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC)-related questions - -### Is an example Proxy Auto Configuration (PAC) file available? - -Here is a simple PAC file: - -```vb -function FindProxyForURL(url, host) -{ - return "PROXY proxyserver:portnumber"; -} -``` - -> [!NOTE] -> The previous PAC always returns the **proxyserver:portnumber** proxy. - -For more information about how to write a PAC file and about the different functions in a PAC file, see [the FindProxyForURL website](https://findproxyforurl.com/). - -**Third-party information disclaimer** -The third-party products that this article discusses are manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft.

You also pre-approve certain servers for content that is loaded into a webpage, and instruct the browser to execute or render only resources from those sources. You can use this technique to prevent malicious content from being injected into sites. - -Content Security Policy is supported in all versions of Microsoft Edge. It lets web developers lock down the resources that can be used by their web application. This helps prevent [cross-site scripting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) attacks that remain a common vulnerability on the web. However, the first version of Content Security Policy was difficult to implement on websites that used inline script elements that either pointed to script sources or contained script directly. - -CSP2 makes these scenarios easier to manage by adding support for nonces and hashes for script and style resources. A nonce is a cryptographically strong random value that is generated on each page load that appears in both the CSP policy and in the script tags on the page. Using nonces can help minimize the need to maintain a list of allowed source URL values while also allowing trusted scripts that are declared in script elements to run. - -For more information, see the following articles: - -- [Introducing support for Content Security Policy Level 2](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/01/10/edge-csp-2/) -- [Content Security Policy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Security_Policy) - -### Where to find Internet Explorer security zones registry entries - -Most of the Internet Zone entries can be found in [Internet Explorer security zones registry entries for advanced users](https://support.microsoft.com/help/182569/internet-explorer-security-zones-registry-entries-for-advanced-users). - -This article was written for Internet Explorer 6 but is still applicable to Internet Explorer 11. - -The default Zone Keys are stored in the following locations: - -- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones -- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones - -### Why don't HTML5 videos play in Internet Explorer 11? - -To play HTML5 videos in the Internet Zone, use the default settings or make sure that the registry key value of **2701** under **Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3** is set to **0**. - -- 0 (the default value): Allow -- 3: Disallow - -This key is read by the **URLACTION\_ALLOW\_AUDIO\_VIDEO 0x00002701** URL action flag that determines whether media elements (audio and video) are allowed in pages in a URL security zone. - -For more information, see [Unable to play HTML5 Videos in IE](/archive/blogs/askie/unable-to-play-html5-videos-in-ie). - -For Windows 10 N and Windows KN editions, you must also download the feature pack that is discussed in [Media feature pack for Windows 10 N and Windows 10 KN editions](https://support.microsoft.com/help/3010081/media-feature-pack-for-windows-10-n-and-windows-10-kn-editions). - -For more information about how to check Windows versions, see [Which version of Windows operating system am I running?](https://support.microsoft.com/help/13443/windows-which-version-am-i-running) - -### What is the Enterprise Mode Site List Portal? - -This is a new feature to add sites to your enterprise mode site list XML.

Regardless of what choices you make for diagnostic data collection, the device will be just as secure and will operate normally. This data is collected by Microsoft and stored with one or more unique identifiers that can help us recognize an individual user on an individual device and understand the device's service issues and use patterns.

Diagnostic data is categorized into the following:

  • **Required diagnostic data**
    Previously known as basic diagnostic data, required diagnostic data includes information about your device, its settings, capabilities, and whether it is performing properly, whether a device is ready for an update, and whether there are factors that may impede the ability to receive updates, such as low battery, limited disk space, or connectivity through a paid network. You can find out what is collected with required diagnostic data [here](./required-windows-diagnostic-data-events-and-fields-2004.md).
  • **Optional diagnostic data**
    Previously known as full diagnostic data, optional diagnostic data includes more detailed information about your device and its settings, capabilities, and device health. When you choose to send optional diagnostic data, required diagnostic data will always be included.

Ransomware attempts to extort money from victims by asking for money, usually in form of cryptocurrencies, in exchange for the decryption key. But cybercriminals won't always follow through and unlock the files they encrypted. - -The trend towards increasingly sophisticated malware behavior, highlighted by the use of exploits and other attack vectors, makes older platforms especially susceptible to ransomware attacks. - -## How ransomware works - -Most ransomware infections start with: - -- Email messages with attachments that try to install ransomware. - -- Websites hosting [exploit kits](exploits-malware.md) that attempt to use vulnerabilities in web browsers and other software to install ransomware. - -Once ransomware infects a device, it starts encrypting files, folders, entire hard drive partitions using encryption algorithms like RSA or RC4. - -Ransomware is one of the most lucrative revenue channels for cybercriminals, so malware authors continually improve their malware code to better target enterprise environments. Ransomware-as-a-service is a cybercriminal business model where malware creators sell their ransomware and other services to cybercriminals, who then operate the ransomware attacks. The business model also defines profit sharing between the malware creators, ransomware operators, and other parties that may be involved. For cybercriminals, ransomware is big business at the expense of individuals and businesses. - -### Examples - -Sophisticated ransomware like **Spora**, **WannaCrypt** (also known as WannaCry), and **Petya** (also known as NotPetya) spread to other computers via network shares or exploits. - -- Spora drops ransomware copies in network shares. - -- WannaCrypt exploits the Server Message Block (SMB) vulnerability CVE-2017-0144 (also called EternalBlue) to infect other computers. - -- A Petya variant exploits the same vulnerability, in addition to CVE-2017-0145 (also known as EternalRomance), and uses stolen credentials to move laterally across networks. - -Older ransomware like **Reveton** (nicknamed "Police Trojan" or "Police ransomware") locks screens instead of encrypting files. They display a full screen image and then disable Task Manager. The files are safe, but they're effectively inaccessible. The image usually contains a message claiming to be from law enforcement that says the computer has been used in illegal cybercriminal activities and a fine needs to be paid. - -Ransomware like **Cerber** and **Locky** search for and encrypt specific file types, typically document and media files. When the encryption is complete, the malware leaves a ransom note using text, image, or an HTML file with instructions to pay a ransom to recover files. - -**Bad Rabbit** ransomware was discovered attempting to spread across networks using hardcoded usernames and passwords in brute force attacks. - -## How to protect against ransomware - -Organizations can be targeted specifically by attackers, or they can be caught in the wide net cast by cybercriminal operations. Large organizations are high value targets because attackers can demand bigger ransoms. - -To provide the best protection against ransomware attacks, Microsoft recommends that you: - -- Back up important files regularly. Use the 3-2-1 rule. Keep three backups of your data, on two different storage types, and at least one backup offsite. - -- Apply the latest updates to your operating systems and apps. - -- Educate your employees so they can identify social engineering and spear-phishing attacks. - -- [Implement controlled folder access](/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/controlled-folders). It can stop ransomware from encrypting files and holding the files for ransom. - -For more general tips, see [prevent malware infection](prevent-malware-infection.md). - -## Human-operated ransomware - -Unlike auto-spreading ransomware like WannaCry or NotPetya, human-operated ransomware is the result of active and ongoing attacks that target an organization rather than a single device. Cybercriminals use their knowledge of common system and security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities to infiltrate the organization, navigate the enterprise network, adapt to the environment, and exploit its weaknesses as they go. - -Hallmarks of these human-operated ransomware attacks typically include credential theft and lateral movement and can result in deployment of ransomware payloads to high business impact resources that attackers choose. Once deployed, the attackers contact the organization with their ransom demands. - -The same primary prevention techniques described in this article should be implemented to prevent human-operated ransomware. For additional preventative measures against human-operated ransomware, see this [article](/security/compass/human-operated-ransomware). - -See [this blog post](https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2020/03/05/human-operated-ransomware-attacks-a-preventable-disaster/) from the Microsoft 365 Defender Threat Intelligence Team for more information and attack chain analysis of actual human-operated ransomware attacks. diff --git a/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/understanding-malware.md b/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/understanding-malware.md index 63477837e9..f98d44ceb7 100644 --- a/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/understanding-malware.md +++ b/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/understanding-malware.md @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ There are many types of malware, including: - [Exploits and exploit kits](exploits-malware.md) - [Macro malware](macro-malware.md) - [Phishing](phishing.md) -- [Ransomware](ransomware-malware.md) +- [Ransomware](/security/compass/human-operated-ransomware) - [Rootkits](rootkits-malware.md) - [Supply chain attacks](supply-chain-malware.md) - [Tech support scams](support-scams.md) diff --git a/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-application-guard/faq-md-app-guard.yml b/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-application-guard/faq-md-app-guard.yml index cb0bff0dc0..98fc46090b 100644 --- a/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-application-guard/faq-md-app-guard.yml +++ b/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-application-guard/faq-md-app-guard.yml @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ metadata: ms.localizationpriority: medium author: denisebmsft ms.author: deniseb - ms.date: 05/12/2021 + ms.date: 06/16/2021 ms.reviewer: manager: dansimp ms.custom: asr @@ -36,7 +36,18 @@ sections: `HKLM\software\Microsoft\Hvsi\SpecRequiredMemoryInGB` (Default is 8 GB.) `HKLM\software\Microsoft\Hvsi\SpecRequiredFreeDiskSpaceInGB` (Default is 5 GB.) - + + - question: | + My network configuration uses a proxy and I’m running into a “Cannot resolve External URLs from MDAG Browser: Error: err_connection_refused”.

It's designed to make these security guarantees: - -- Protect and maintain the integrity of the system as it starts up -- Validate that system integrity has truly been maintained through local and remote attestation - -## Maintaining the integrity of the system as it starts - -### Static Root of Trust for Measurement (SRTM) - -With Windows 7, one of the means attackers would use to persist and evade detection was to install what is often referred to as a bootkit or rootkit on the system. -This malicious software would start before Windows started, or during the boot process itself, enabling it to start with the highest level of privilege. - -With Windows 10 running on modern hardware (that is, Windows 8-certified or greater) a hardware-based root of trust helps ensure that no unauthorized firmware or software (such as a bootkit) can start before the Windows bootloader. -This hardware-based root of trust comes from the device’s Secure Boot feature, which is part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). -This technique of measuring the static early boot UEFI components is called the Static Root of Trust for Measurement (SRTM). - -As there are thousands of PC vendors that produce numerous models with different UEFI BIOS versions, there becomes an incredibly large number of SRTM measurements upon bootup. -Two techniques exist to establish trust here—either maintain a list of known 'bad' SRTM measurements (also known as a block list), or a list of known 'good' SRTM measurements (also known as an allow list). -Each option has a drawback: - -- A list of known 'bad' SRTM measurements allows a hacker to change just 1 bit in a component to create an entirely new SRTM hash that needs to be listed. This means that the SRTM flow is inherently brittle - a minor change can invalidate the entire chain of trust. -- A list of known 'good' SRTM measurements requires each new BIOS/PC combination measurement to be carefully added, which is slow. -In addition, a bug fix for UEFI code can take a long time to design, build, retest, validate, and redeploy. - -### Secure Launch—the Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) - -Windows Defender System Guard Secure Launch, first introduced in Windows 10 version 1809, aims to alleviate these issues by leveraging a technology known as the Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM). -DRTM lets the system freely boot into untrusted code initially, but shortly after launches the system into a trusted state by taking control of all CPUs and forcing them down a well-known and measured code path. -This has the benefit of allowing untrusted early UEFI code to boot the system, but then being able to securely transition into a trusted and measured state. - - -![System Guard Secure Launch](images/system-guard-secure-launch.png) - -Secure Launch simplifies management of SRTM measurements because the launch code is now unrelated to a specific hardware configuration. This means the number of valid code measurements is small, and future updates can be deployed more widely and quickly. - -### System Management Mode (SMM) protection - -System Management Mode (SMM) is a special-purpose CPU mode in x86 microcontrollers that handles power management, hardware configuration, thermal monitoring, and anything else the manufacturer deems useful. -Whenever one of these system operations is requested, a non-maskable interrupt (SMI) is invoked at runtime, which executes SMM code installed by the BIOS. -SMM code executes in the highest privilege level and is invisible to the OS, which makes it an attractive target for malicious activity. Even if System Guard Secure Launch is used to late launch, SMM code can potentially access hypervisor memory and change the hypervisor. -To defend against this, two techniques are used: - -1. Paging protection to prevent inappropriate access to code and data -2. SMM hardware supervision and attestation - -Paging protection can be implemented to lock certain code tables to be read-only to prevent tampering. -This prevents access to any memory that has not been specifically assigned. - -A hardware-enforced processor feature known as a supervisor SMI handler can monitor the SMM and make sure it does not access any part of the address space that it is not supposed to. - -SMM protection is built on top of the Secure Launch technology and requires it to function. -In the future, Windows 10 will also measure this SMI Handler’s behavior and attest that no OS-owned memory has been tampered with. - -## Validating platform integrity after Windows is running (run time) - -While Windows Defender System Guard provides advanced protection that will help protect and maintain the integrity of the platform during boot and at run time, the reality is that we must apply an "assume breach" mentality to even our most sophisticated security technologies. We should be able to trust that the technologies are successfully doing their jobs, but we also need the ability to verify that they were successful in achieving their goals. When it comes to platform integrity, we can’t just trust the platform, which potentially could be compromised, to self-attest to its security state. So Windows Defender System Guard includes a series of technologies that enable remote analysis of the device’s integrity. - -As Windows 10 boots, a series of integrity measurements are taken by Windows Defender System Guard using the device’s Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM 2.0). System Guard Secure Launch will not support earlier TPM versions, such as TPM 1.2. This process and data are hardware-isolated away from Windows to help ensure that the measurement data is not subject to the type of tampering that could happen if the platform was compromised. From here, the measurements can be used to determine the integrity of the device’s firmware, hardware configuration state, and Windows boot-related components, just to name a few. - - -![Boot time integrity](images/windows-defender-system-guard-boot-time-integrity.png) - -After the system boots, Windows Defender System Guard signs and seals these measurements using the TPM.

In addition to consolidating device management and endpoint security into a single platform, Microsoft Endpoint Manager can better support the diverse bring-your-own-device (BYOD) ecosystem that is increasingly the norm with hybrid work scenarios. It can also enable you to track your progress against compliance and business objectives, while protecting end-user privacy. + +The following are some common use cases and the corresponding Microsoft Endpoint Manager capabilities that support them: + +- **Provision and pre-configure new Windows 11 devices**: [Windows Autopilot](/mem/autopilot/windows-autopilot) enables you to deploy new Windows 11 devices in a “business-ready” state that includes your desired applications, settings, and policies. It can also be used to change the edition of Windows. For example, you can upgrade from Pro to Enterprise edition and gain the use of advanced features. +- **Configure rules and control settings for users, apps, and devices**: When you enroll devices in [Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/fundamentals/what-is-intune), administrators have full control over apps, settings, features, and security for both Windows 11 and Windows 10. You can also use app protection policies to require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for specific apps. +- **Streamline device management for frontline, remote, and onsite workers**: Introduced with Windows 10, [cloud configuration](/mem/intune/fundamentals/cloud-configuration) is a standard, easy-to-manage, device configuration that is cloud-optimized for users with specific workflow needs. It can be deployed to devices running the Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions of Windows 11 by using Microsoft Endpoint Manager. + +If you are exclusively using an on-premises device management solution (for example, Configuration Manager), you can still use the [cloud management gateway](/mem/configmgr/core/clients/manage/cmg/overview), enable [tenant attach](/mem/configmgr/tenant-attach/device-sync-actions), or enable [co-management](/mem/configmgr/comanage/overview) with Microsoft Intune. These solutions can make it easier to keep devices secure and up-to-date. + +## Review servicing approach and policies + +Every organization will transition to Windows 11 at its own pace. Microsoft is committed to supporting you through your migration to Windows 11, whether you are a fast adopter or will make the transition over the coming months or years. + +When you think of operating system updates as an ongoing process, you will automatically improve your ability to deploy updates. This approach enables you to stay current with less effort, and less impact on productivity. To begin, think about how you roll out Windows feature updates today: which devices, and at what pace. + +Next, craft a deployment plan for Windows 11 that includes deployment groups, rings, users, or devices. There are no absolute rules for exactly how many rings to have for your deployments, but a common structure is: +- Preview (first or canary): Planning and development +- Limited (fast or early adopters): Pilot and validation +- Broad (users or critical): Wide deployment + +For detailed information, see [Create a deployment plan](/windows/deployment/update/create-deployment-plan). + +#### Review policies + +Review deployment-related policies, taking into consideration your organization's security objectives, update compliance deadlines, and device activity. Apply changes where you can gain a clear improvement, particularly with regard to the speed of the update process or security. + +#### Validate apps and infrastructure + +To validate that your apps, infrastructure, and deployment processes are ready for Windows 11, join the [Windows Insider Program for Business](https://insider.windows.com/for-business-getting-started), and opt in to the [Release Preview Channel](/windows-insider/business/validate-Release-Preview-Channel). + +If you use Windows Server Update Services, you can deploy directly from the Windows Insider Pre-release category using one of the following processes: + +- Set **Manage Preview Builds** to **Release Preview** in Windows Update for Business. +- Leverage Azure Virtual Desktop and Azure Marketplace images. +- Download and deploy ISOs from Microsoft’s Windows Insider Program ISO Download page. + +Regardless of the method you choose, you have the benefit of free Microsoft support when validating pre-release builds. Free support is available to any commercial customer deploying Windows 10 or Windows 11 Preview Builds, once they become available through the Windows Insider Program. + +#### Analytics and assessment tools + +If you use Microsoft Endpoint Manager and have onboarded devices to Endpoint analytics, you will have access to a hardware readiness assessment later this year. This tool enables you to quickly identify which of your managed devices are eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade. + +## Prepare a pilot deployment + +A pilot deployment is a proof of concept that rolls out an upgrade to a select number of devices in production, before deploying it broadly across the organization. + +At a high level, the tasks involved are: + +1. Assign a group of users or devices to receive the upgrade. +2. Implement baseline updates. +3. Implement operational updates. +4. Validate the deployment process. +5. Deploy the upgrade to devices. +6. Test and support the pilot devices. +7. Determine broad deployment readiness based on the results of the pilot. + +## End-user readiness + +Do not overlook the importance of end-user readiness to deliver an effective, enterprise-wide deployment of Windows 11. Windows 11 has a familiar design, but your users will see several enhancements to the overall user interface. They will also need to adapt to changes in menus and settings pages. Therefore, consider the following tasks to prepare users and your IT support staff Windows 11: +- Create a communications schedule to ensure that you provide the right message at the right time to the right groups of users, based on when they will see the changes. +- Draft concise emails that inform users of what changes they can expect to see. Offer tips on how to use or customize their experience. Include information about support and help desk options. +- Update help desk manuals with screenshots of the new user interface, the out-of-box experience for new devices, and the upgrade experience for existing devices. + +## Learn more + +See the [Stay current with Windows 10 and Microsoft 365 Apps](/learn/paths/m365-stay-current/) learning path on Microsoft Learn. +- The learning path was created for Windows 10, but the basic principles and tasks outlined for the plan, prepare, and deploy phases also apply to your deployment of Windows 11. + +## See also + +[Plan for Windows 11](windows-11-plan.md)
