I’ve heard it said many times that Windows NT based systems (4, 2000 and XP) are more secure than Windows 9x based system. From a local security stand point I understand this as 9x does not have NTFS or multi-user support in the same way as NT bases systems do, as well as having weaker policy management. But from a network security standpoint, since you can do so much less with a 9x box remotely from across a network, is it not more secure on a network then an XP box? I’ve read of many remote exploits for XP (hell, DCOM alone.), but few for 98. I’ve been using NT based system for awhile now a it’s be a long time since I used a 9x system regularly, what kinds of common remote exploits are they vulnerable to out of the box?
