GIAC GPEN Question Answer

You have changed the RestrictAnonymous registry setting from 0 to 1 on your servers to secure your Windows 2000 system so that any malicious user cannot establish a null session on the server. However, when you test the security using userinfo tool, you got that you can still establish the null session. What may be its reason?

You cannot disable establishing null sessions.

You need to disable the promiscuous mode of network Ethernet card.

You need to set the RestrictAnonymous key value to 2 instead of 1.

You need to install a firewall.
