rightwing terrorism
Feds arrest white supremacists in Texas with a sodium cyanide bomb, other bombs and chemicals, illegal weapons, hate literature, fake I.D., gas masks, bomb-making books, and coded plans for "meetings" in 10 US cities. Hundreds of subpoenas have been issued around the country. But they weren't Muslims, so only the Texas media reported it http://www.thememoryhole.org/terror/tyler-terror.htm

cyberterrorism
http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/terror/RL33123.pdf This report examines possible terrorists’ objectives and computer vulnerabilities that might lead to an attempted cyberattack against the critical infrastructure of the U.S. homeland, and also discusses the emerging computer and other technical skills of terrorists and extremists. Policy issues include exploring ways to improve technology for cybersecurity, or whether U.S. counterterrorism efforts should be linked more closely to international efforts to prevent cybercrime."

But do not get your hopes up too high
Defeating Citi-Bank Virtual Keyboard Protection how easily the Virtual Keyboard can be defeated by a simple program. I created a small program in VB 6.0 (calle CitiPassLogger.exe) which can record not only the 16-Digit credit card but also the IPIN even if they are entered using the virtual keyboard. http://www.webappsec.org/lists/websecurity/archive/2005-08/msg00011.html and http://www.hackingspirits.com/vuln-rnd/vuln-rnd.html
the same system more or less is used by European banks, it is in fact defeating the double authentification system and I do not see much difference with electronic ID systems login (as used in chatrooms on Belgian MSN, but later also on shoppingsites)

Microsoft_ active Directory

A best practice for restoring Active Directory (AD) is to configure your organizational units (OUs); global groups; computer accounts; printers; and important user accounts (e.g., accounts that start services, your boss's account), shared folders, and contacts so that no one can delete them. You can use various methods to configure AD objects as undeletable, depending on the delegation method you usehttp://www.winnetmag.com/Articles/Print.cfm?ArticleID=43045
ADInfo provides automated configuration troubleshooting and documentation management for your Microsoft Active Directory network. ADInfo's extended capabilities greatly helps consultants, network professionals http://www.jrbsoft.com/solutions/adinfo.asp

LimitLogin is an application written by Yossi Saharon, a Partner Technology Specialist with Microsoft in Israel, with help from Ofer Bar, an application development consultant. The application adds the ability to limit concurrent user logins and to keep track of all login information in an Active Directory domain. LimitLogin capabilities include limiting the number of logins per user from any machine in the domain (including Terminal Server sessions), displaying the login information of any user in the domain according to specific criteria, easy management and configuration through integration with the Active Directory Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) snap-in, the ability to delete and log off a user session remotely straight from the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in, and the ability to generate login information reports in CSV and XML formats.

http://www.scriptlogic.com/eng/products/enterprisesecurityreporter/main.asp 30 day evaluation Enterprise Security Reporter (ESR) is a comprehensive reporting solution for Windows NT/2000/2003 networks that combs through the vast amount of data found within NTFS permissions, Active Directory user and group accounts, server registries and shares and stores the information collected in a reporting database, allowing administrators to analyze, query and report on the security and configuration of their network.
I’ve long wanted a way to know at a glance whether I am logged in as a member of the all-powerful Administrators group, the slightly less-powerful Power Users group, or as an ordinary User. The more I use RunAs <http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/archive/2004/06/23/163229.aspx > (including with Explorer <http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/archive/2004/07/07/175488.aspx >)and MakeMeAdmin <http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/archive/2004/07/24/193721.aspx >, the more I need to be able to distinguish privilege levels of various apps on my desktop PrivBar <http://www.speakeasy.org/~aaronmar/NonAdmin/PrivBar.zip > is a toolbar for Explorer and Internet Explorer that shows you broadly at what privilege level that particular instance is running. http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/archive/2004/07/24/195350.aspx
MakeMeAdmin.cmd <http://www.speakeasy.net/~aaronmar/NonAdmin/MakeMeAdmin.zip > addresses all of these issues. When you run it, you get a Command Prompt running under your normal user account, but in a new logon session in which it is a member of the Administrators group. This Command Prompt and any programs started from it use your regular profile, authenticate as you on the network, but have full local admin privileges. All other programs continue to run with your regular, unprivileged account http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/archive/2004/07/24/193721.aspx userrights See your privileges on the computer http://www.max2k.com/programs.php?id=24
