"Not really true, NT had plenty of network security pieces, but it wasn't
intended to be plugged into an untrusted network", anon
Then why
were MS advertising Windows NT as an Internet platform? In page 250 of comes doc
PX04246.pdf there is an illustrating depicting NTServer as THE Internet platform.
"Have Netscape add value to
the NT server and Back Office platform (above our stuff), making it the
preferred Internet solution"
"We are trying to make Marvel be a
be
tter experience than Internet and use that to drive scale and IPs to take
advantage of our uniqueness"
"We will move to using TCP/IP .. We will
allowac
cess to any Internet service"
"Building a
Windows NT Internet Server"[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Don't believe anything that Microsoft tells you.
Several people have told you the truth, and mentioned that
they were there when it happened. So was I. I was
implementing C2 level UNIX systems at a Fortune 30 company
when Microsoft's NT C2 certification was announced. We all
laughed at the restrictions. I was also one of the company's
UNIX security resources, and wrote the first UNIX security
SOP in the corporation. I know it was the first because the
auditors told me that they were reusing it everywhere
because nobody else had written one yet.
Microsoft never worried about making things work properly,
they just wanted the marketing brochure to say the right
things so that they could make the sale to those who didn't
have to support their systems.
Your statements are flat-out lies, and aren't funny. Do a
little more research next time.

From a security POV, there is no such thing as a trusted network.
There are networks that are known to be penetrated.
There are networks that might be penetrated.
There are networks that are technically easy to penetrate.
There are networks that are technically difficult to penetrate.
Networks with air gaps to other networks range between the moderately
easy, to technically difficult to penetrate.
Networks without an airgap to other networks will always be technically easy
to penetrate.
