SharePoint Zip 1.2
Transfer many files between SharePoint and your desktop as a single package more>> Transfer many files between SharePoint and your desktop as a single package
Are you using or thinking of Using Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) to allow users to upload and download files from a web-based environment? Excellent! SharePoint has a lot to offer you.
Background
SharePoint provides a great web-based user interface that allows a user to easily upload or download files, as long as the user is working with one file at a time. It would be really nice if users could download an entire set of files in one shot, or upload a set of files.
The Problem
There are approaches out there, but most require installing a client-side application like SharePoint Designer 2007 or using the SharePoint file upload ActiveX control, which does not allow uploading files from multiple folders at once. While these approaches may be OK for intranet portals is not ideal for extranet or Internet SharePoint deployments.
A Simple Solution
Use Zip files. Zip files allow users to package multiple files and folders into a single file and then unpack the contents later. Most desktop and laptop computers are able to work with Zip files. SharePoint Zip allows users to upload a single Zip file into a SharePoint document library, and tell SharePoint to unzip the contents of the file after the upload has completed.
This not only makes the upload simple, only one file is sent to SharePoint, but also the contents of the Zip file are compressed, saving valuable upload time and bandwidth. Downloading is just as easy. Users select a file, folder, or entire document library, and SharePoint sends the contents as a single Zip file. This saves considerable time and bandwidth during the download, and it lets users download many files and folders with a single click.
SharePoint Zip was designed to let you transfer many files between SharePoint and your desktop as a single package.
System requirements:
- Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS)
Enhancements:
- SharePoint Zip 2.0 now supports forms-based authentication. This makes SharePoint Zip a great tool for intranet, extranet, and now Internet SharePoint sites!
- SharePoint Zip 2.0 now supports downloading and uploading of very large (multi-gigabyte) Zip files. This is a must-have for SharePoint sites that store large documents, like digital images and video files.
- SharePoint Zip 2.0 supports load-balanced SharePoint farms. The workload of processing Zip file contents now scales across all web front-end servers in the SharePoint farm.
SharePoint Sentinel 1.0.0.0
The SharePoint Sentinel is a useful program which is meant to enhance visibility and control into running processes more>>
The fairly limited Windows Snap-In for it (within the task manager), only allows you to monitor and kill tasks, and to promote good process management there should be a method to easily place processes within a whitelist (good processes) and blacklist (bad processes), such as placing the SharePoint SSO service within the whitelist, the gatherer, or any SharePoint related processes that you are using within your farm. Following you can bootstrap other processes that you dont want to be activated and they will be protected by the Sentinel, negating the need to audit them since it would essentially provide real time protection.
The SharePoint Sentinel is a useful program which is meant to enhance visibility and control into running processes on a SharePoint server in order to prevent malicious activity.
Main features:
- Provide control over server processes by invoking two lists, a black and white list, which can provide an administrator tools to regulate processor activity.
- Easy controls to start and halt the SharePoint Sentinel (process protection agent)
- Alerts of malicious processes
- Monitoring log to keep relevant records

Read this security focus article on new USB threats (specifically regarding a credit union).
It is important when protecting your SharePoint environment to ensure that you harden your server at all tiers of data copying and injection. This involves securing sections of your server which can accept other types of media besides providing access over a network. The most common portable media storage types that you are going to find available on typical servers running SharePoint:
CD/DVD Tray
USB Device

SharePoint Scrubber 1.0
SharePoint Scrubber provides SharePoint Administrators a deletion tool that will ensure that data that is properly disposed of. more>>
Data that is stored, however later deleted, is subject to Data Remanence, which is certain fragments of data still existing, and recoverable by using utilities or skillful shell programming.

Scrubbing the data can leverage a variety of algorithms, the four that are currently supported by the SharePoint Scrubber are:
Currently supported algorithms (along with passing specifications)
B. Schneiers / (typically will scrub with 7 data passes)
Fill Zeros / (typically will scrub data with 1 pass)
NAVSOP5239-26 (typically will scrub with 3 data passes)
Peter Gutmann (typically will scrub with 35 data passes)

SharePoint Anti-Keylogger 1.0
SharePoint Anti-Keylogger scans, detects and removes keyloggers. more>>
Keyloggers are becoming commonplace methods for intruders to gain access to unauthorized systems by recording user keystrokes as they occur on the arbitrary machine, or in our case, our SharePoint Portal or Windows SharePoint Services server. Protecting your server from keyloggers is a fairly crucial measure in any security structure, ensuring your full control of your machines without worrying about compromising it to hackers.
Keyloggers can exist on two different levels, both on a hardware and software level. There are a range of available hardware keyloggers, ranging from those which are fairly easily to detect such as those that attach inline between the keyboard cable and those which bind to a port where the keyboard is installed, or those which are placed directly into the keyboard or laptop machine. Retrieving the data from the target machine can vary heavily depending on the application used, which has its own implications.
The most common way is to slip a trojan or other remote access application that allows the user direct access to the machine to query the log generated by the keylogger. Because SharePoint machines are often hooked into MS exchange servers, typically the information can automatically be sent via using email, which is slightly more elegant than the former technique because it lessens the trail detection and gives less evidence to forensic computer analysts.
Securing your SharePoint environment for keylogger is as important as web and network layer security. The SPS AKL is composed of two main modules that help you harden your SharePoint environment, one for detection and another for management. The central processing portions are kept as a windows service that will need to be installed.
