Just curious what Wordfence uses this Ajax for. I password protected my wp-admin folder (on my test site) for security reasons, and prefer it to stay this away depending on what Wordfence needs to do. The admin-ajax.php is not currently accessible, so every page has a /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wordfence_logHuman&... request that is currently not accesible.
Hi, I did have that file password protected, but still I got hacked. Somehow, the toads managed to upload a fake French bank site to my wp-includes folder. All of that was before i found wordfence, and fortunately nothing bad since, but I did do a lot of reading after that, some of which Mark now says is a bad idea.I now don't know what to do - I can see his point, but my ajax is working apparently fine with a wp-admin protected directory.I guess I will take his advice, and remove that protection, but I am a bit nervous to do so!!
Delete Administrator Protected Folder Crack
I can't delete a certain folder in Windows 7. It's not a system folder. It was created by an app. I get an error message "You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from Tony....". I am an admin and logged in as myself Tony. I have full ownership of the folder with full control permission. I rebooted the machine. I killed the app which created the folder. I am out of ideas.
The only way was to delete files starting from the lowest level folder in that folder. I got that error message with every folder which had subfolders. I deleted all files/subfolders working my way up.
But permissions on subfolders are different and do not propagate from the parent even though you tell them to, causing problems when trying to delete the parent folder:
When I run into a folder/file I can't delete and rebooting doesn't free the file. I will add to the security setting of the file/folder the Everyone group and set the permissions to Deny Full Control. Then when I reboot the machine, what ever was using the file/folder starts, it won't be able to read/write or lock the file/folder. Finally with nothing being able to use the file/folder, you will be free to delete it.
I assume UAC is enabled and you are trying to delete the folder from Windows Explorer. You should run Windows Explorer as administrator (right click on the icon and select "Run as administrator") and then delete the folder.
While Windows will warn users that copying a file into the 'Templates' folder requires 'administrators' permissions, the fact that a user is attempting to copy the file indicates that there is a good chance they will also press the 'Continue' button.
Scenario 2: Someone..maybe a helpdesk tech created a local user on multiple computers with the same password and added it to the local administrator group. If an attacker cracked this password the attacker then has administrator access to all the machines that this account is created on. The attacker could then move laterally from system to system dropping malicious files, stealing data, and so on.
Great information but I have a question. When you delete all member users and then add the local administrator account back in, what is the password for the administrator? Does it remain the same that it was prior to being deleted by putting a check in the box to delete all members?
This is not valid for Excel 2007/2010 files. The standard .xlsx file format is actually a .zip file containing numerous sub-folders with the formatting, layout, content, etc, stored as xml data. For an unprotected Excel 2007 file, you can just change the .xlsx extension to .zip, then open the zip file and look through all the xml data. It's very straightforward.
So my options seem to be: - Click the button to take ownership (ruins ownership, takes ages on large folders, doesn't solve for other administrators) - Add each individual administrator account with full permissions so it works without the admin token (administrative mess, what's the point in groups)
The best way is to define a new group containing members that you consider to be administrators of that folder. If you have an AD domain, you can create this group in AD and then add that group to the Administrators group (of the local machine) and avoid having to administer two groups.
I ran into this because we use admin approval mode to elevate without prompting, however for deleting folders and files and sometimes for accessing them, this is causing us trouble when the user is a member of the local administrator's group instead od having express permissions, elevating Explorer resolved that issue.
If you or someone delete the locker.bat file, then only this batch file will be deleted. Locker folder in which you have locked your file and folder will not be deleted. This locker will remain hide position in same drive of your computer system. This can recover when you recreate same batch file with same name and coding (locker.bat). Locker folder will reappear on same drive or folder.
Very good trick but if I off the Show hidden files, folders, and drives AND Hide protected operating system files (recommended) then hidden folder show. If I double click on folder it open. What is the solution?
Cyberattackers usually look for an administrator account, as it gives them complete access over Active Directory. Therefore, creating duplicate users with similar administrator-level access along with renaming the original admin accounts and disabling them makes identifying administrator accounts a difficult task for threat actors. Additionally, strong passwords can help prevent unauthorized access to accounts and make them harder for threat actors to crack. The password should contain an array of uppercase and lowercase letters with a combination of numbers and special characters.
After setting the folder and registry permissions, run your AutoCAD or F/X CAD installation as an administrator by right-clicking its icon and selecting Run As Administrator from the menu that opens. If it runs properly and you don't see the error, you've likely resolved the issue.
Password Hacking: A threat actor can crack or steal a password using several techniques. These attacks can lead to administrator privileges if the account has been granted these rights. This represents another reason to limit the number of administrator accounts in an environment and enforce least privilege. If the account is an administrator, the threat actor can easily circumvent other security controls, achieve lateral movement, and opportunistically attempt to crack other privileged account passwords.
Enable this option, if you want to allow those who have write permission to the repository to have the delete privileges for the protected branch. By default, the protected branches cannot be deleted by those who have write permissions.
With a readable and writable encrypted disk image, you can treat it as a normal folder and copy, delete, or move files from the image. Anything brought into the image while mounted will become encrypted automatically under the same protective layer with the same password.
Hey what am I doing wrong. I followed all the instructions to password encrypt a folder on my Mac It creates the dmg folder, but when I click on the dmg folder it does not open & as for password. IT actually does nothing. WHat did I do wrong ? Also can you use the same process to change the password on a protected folder.

After executing these commands, the attackers navigated through directories and discovered a passwords folder that granted them access to account credentials they could use in the subsequent stages of the attack. They also used the del command to delete files related to their initial compromise activity.
Remote wipe security solutions allow an administrator to remotely delete data from a computing device. Remote wipe is primarily used to protect against data loss if a device has been lost or stolen. However, it can also be used to clear data from a device being retired or transferred to a new owner if the administrator does not have physical access to the device to wipe it.
To remotely wipe a device, an administrator sends a command to the MDM solution installed on the device over mobile or Wi-Fi networks. When the MDM solution receives this command, it begins the remote wipe process. If the wiping process is not interrupted by a system reboot or similar event, it will delete the indicated files.
when i first installed third party antivirus i was able to open windows security app. but after i tried to install pirated game , it is not opening. when i checked windows defender folder in programdata ,data from the subfolders were deleted.
Make very very sure you have uninstalled the pirated game AND have deleted the downloaded file(s) for that too.Make very sure this machine now has NO pirated stuff, or hacked or cracked applications, games, etc.The "pirated" stuff came bundled with malware, which has removed at least 2 important Windows security services.We have much work to do ahead. 2ff7e9595c
