The Pentagon, the National Security Agency (NSA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and other government agencies, working with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) have devised standards for securing the Microsoft operating system against most known vulnerabilities and flaws. To make it easier for system administrators to adhere to the benchmark, CIS released a Security Scoring Tool -- freely available scan/analysis program which checks to make sure all those settings are in place, as well as checking whether all patches are up to date.
I went to http://www.cisecurity.org/bench_win2000.html and registered my info and tried to download the bench mark tool and it told me that access was denied to the page. The only thing that I could download was a text document that had some info about how to do this the manual way. Has anyone else had this problem?
