Even I can’t believe that last time that I wrote here was 18 days ago, I think I was never away from here for so long. Although I’m away from here, I’ve been writing in many other places, recording episodes for our Security Talk Show and working on my regular activities at Microsoft (which is Win8 Security stuff)….so, it’s quiet busy these days. Here are some of my updates for this past month:

New Articles at TechNet Wiki

• Deploy Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS) 3 SP2 on a DMZ Protected by Forefront TMG 2010 SP2
• Publishing Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS) 3 SP2 through Forefront TMG 2010 SP2

New Episodes of From End to Edge and Beyond

• From End to Edge and Beyond-Episode 11: Threat Management Gateway 2010 Service Pack 2 Chat with MVP Richard Hicks
• Episode 12….coming soon (today or tomorrow), stay tuned on this channel

What’s coming next?

There are lots of things coming next and as soon as I can I will be announcing here a new project that me and Tom Shinder will work in 2012. For my Brazilians friends I can tell you that a new book about information security in Portuguese is also coming in 2012, it will be again published by Editora NovaTerra (more info soon) and the second edition of my Security+ book in Portuguese should also be out next year.

Our Security Talk Show is also going to finish the year with two more great episodes (13 and 14) that are planned to be released in December. In Episode 13 (called “Demo Day”), me and Tom Shinder will demonstrate some cool scenarios (probably related to DA and TMG) and on Episode 14 we will have the TechNet Guy talking about Cloud and Office 365.

See ya around !

Hello folks, a quick post here just to bring awareness about a new KB that was released today for Forefront TMG 2010. As the KB describes the symptoms are based on the following scenario:

• A web proxy client establishes a secure socket layer (SSL) connection to an external web server by using a server that is running Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010.
• HTTPS inspection is not involved. Therefore, an end-to-end SSL tunnel between the client and the web server is established.
• Inside this established connection, the client uploads data to the web server.
• The connection and TCP flow to the web server are slow.

In this scenario, the upload does not finish correctly under certain circumstances. In order to fix this problem you need to apply Forefront TMG 2010 SP2 and run the script from KB 2591803.
