Detailed Analysis

  • This detection covers hacking utilities that allow running Windows NT applications as services.

  • Their functions include the following:
    • Allow applications to survive logoff/logon sequences, hence saving the overhead of re-starting them for each new user
    • Allow server applications to run and handle service requests even when no user is logged on
    • Allow applications to run and perform a task in a specific logon account, different from the user that is currently logged on
  • Recommended Action

      FortiGate Systems

    • Check the main screen using the web interface for your FortiGate unit to ensure that the latest AV/NIDS database has been downloaded and installed on your system - if required, enable the "Allow Push Update" option.
