    Abstract:

    Do not attempt to implement any of the settings in this guide without first testing in a non-operational environment. This document is only a guide containing recommended security settings. It is not meant to replace well-structured policy or sound judgment. Furthermore this guide does not address site-specific configuration issues. Care must be taken when implementing this guide to address local operational and policy concerns. The security changes described in this document only apply to Microsoft Windows 2000 systems and should not be applied to any other Windows 2000 versions or operating systems. This document contains possible recommended settings for the system Registry. Windows 2000 system operation can be severely impaired or disabled with incorrect changes or accidental deletions when using a Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe or Regedit.exe) to change the system configuration. There is no “undo ” command for deletions within the Registry. Registry Editor prompts user to confirm the deletions if “Confirm on Delete ” is selected from the options menu. When user deletes a key, the message does not include the name of the key being deleted. Check selection carefully before proceeding

  • remote Registry Editor
    JI. Jurnal. Informatika., 2016
    Co-Authors: Bambang Kelana Simpony
    Abstract:

    Abstract - Permissions setting on a computer is necessary. This is an effort that is not easy to change the system configuration or settings changed by the user. With a network of computers, of course, permissions setting do not need to be done one by one manually. Because in a computer network course there are many collection of computers connected together. Permissions setting so that the system can use the client-server applications that access restrictions can be done effectively. As the implementation of client-server applications can be created using Visual Basic 6.0. This language has been able to access the socket on the Windows operating system, named Winsock API that supports TCP / IP. This protocol is widely used because of the reliability of client-server application programming. The application is divided into two main applications, namely the client and server program name with the name of the Receiver Sender program. Receiver function receives instructions restriction of access rights Sender and send reports to the Sender process execution. While Sender function to send instructions restrictions permissions via the Registry to the Receiver. And after the test, the application can block important features available in the Windows operating system. So it is expected that these applications can help in permissions setting on a computer network. Keywords: Registry, Winsock API, TCP/IP, Socket, Protocol, Networking Abstrak - Pengaturan hak akses di suatu komputer sangat diperlukan. Hal ini merupakan salah satu upaya agar konfigurasi sistem tidak mudah dirubah atau diganti pengaturannya oleh pengguna. Dengan adanya jaringan komputer, tentunya pengaturan hak akses tidak perlu dilakukan satu-satu secara manual. Karena dalam suatu jaringan komputer pastinya terdapat banyak kumpulan komputer yang saling terhubung. Sehingga pengaturan hak akses bisa menggunakan sistem aplikasi client-server agar pembatasan hak akses bisa dilakukan dengan efektif. Sebagai implementasi aplikasi client-server dapat dibuat dengan menggunakan bahasa pemrograman Visual Basic 6.0. Bahasa ini sudah bisa mengakses socket pada sistem operasi Windows yang diberi nama Winsock API yang sudah mendukung protokol TCP/IP. Protokol ini banyak dipakai karena kehandalannya dalam pemrograman aplikasi client-server. Aplikasi ini terbagi menjadi dua aplikasi utama, yaitu client dengan nama program Receiver dan Server dengan nama program Sender. Receiver berfungsi menerima instruksi pembatasan hak akses dari Sender dan mengirimkan laporan hasil proses eksekusinya ke Sender. Sedangkan Sender berfungsi untuk mengirim instruksi pembatasan hak akses melalui Registry ke Receiver. Dan setelah di uji, aplikasi ini dapat memblok fitur-fitur penting yang ada di sistem operasi Windows. Sehingga diharapkan dengan adanya aplikasi ini dapat membantu dalam pengaturan hak akses di suatu jaringan komputer. Kata Kunci : Registry, Winsock API, TCP/IP, Soket, Protokol, Jaringan
