A Security Evaluation of a Non-Distributed Version of Windows NT

• In this paper we present an evaluation of the security in Windows NT. The objectives of the work are twofold: first, to learn more about the security system; and, second, to find out how secure the system actually is. To investigate the latter, the authors, have adopted the role of attackers. This paper contains results from several attempts to violate the security of Windows NT. In some cases, the attempts were successful, meaning that we gained access to information or resources that should be protected. The target systems were standard personal computers with Windows NT Workstation 3.51 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 respectively, both working in stand-alone mode
