10 tips for XP system without loopholes perfect system security

With the popularity of Windows XP on personal computers, more and more people are beginning to work with Windows XP, even though Windows XP has superior stability and reliable security. However, the vulnerabilities discovered one after another have made Windows XP already threatened with attacks. The following ten tips for securing the Windows XP operating system will be given for the reader's reference.

(1) Select NTFS format to partition

It is best to have all partitions in NTFS format, because NTFS format partitions are more secure in terms of security. Even if other partitions use other formats (such as FAT32), at least the partition where the system is located should be in NTFS format. In addition, the application should not be placed in the same partition as the system, so as to prevent the attacker from exploiting the vulnerability of the application (such as Microsoft's IIS vulnerability), causing system file leakage, and even allowing the intruder to obtain administrator rights remotely.

(2) Optimizing component customization

Windows XP installs some common components by default, but it is this default installation is very dangerous, you You should know exactly which services you need, and only install the services you really need, according to security principles, the least service + the minimum permissions = the greatest security.

(3) Manage system and resource permissions

Each user has the corresponding permissions on Windows XP. Users with corresponding permissions can perform different functions on the system. Operation, such as installing and configuring software and hardware, adding and deleting document directories. Therefore, the user's permissions must be controlled to ensure the security of the system. Windows XP has many permission groups by default. Users who are added to these permission groups will be given the corresponding permissions as shown below.

The commonly used group functions are described as follows:

Administrators group: This group has unrestricted full access by default and can be used for the entire system. Full control is the highest-privileged user group allowed by the user.

PowerUser Group: This group can perform any operations other than the Administrators group retention task. The default permissions assigned to the PowerUser group allow it to modify the settings of the entire computer, but cannot add itself to the Administrators group. Permissions are second only to Administrators.

Users group: Users of this group cannot modify the operating system settings, registry or user data. It can only run a validated application or create a local group, but only modify the created local group.

Guests group: The permissions of this group are the same as those of the Users group, but the operating system has more restrictions on it. Previous12Next page Total 2 pages
