XP Services and security
I was very interested to read the article in the Hands On section about XP Services (in the April 2005 issue).
The security aspects of keeping certain services running cannot be overstressed. Few people realise that even with a firewall, Netbios and the SMB are an open path into their computer.
I have found the web site run by Black Viper at www.blkviper.com/ to be extremely useful in unravelling the mysteries of XP Services. Particularly helpful is the Windows XP Service configuations.
Here's to the next 27 years, keep up the good work.
