Note: I'm in the process of converting my old set of plain ol' HTML pages into a long-overdue database-backed system, so check back later if you're missing something.

Patches and updates, especially for Windows. Try downloading them from their sources first (their connections are a lot faster, and you can download them all at once), but in the likely event they've made them unavailable, you can download most them from my site, or get them on the Great Stuff CD. (Note that Microsoft updates are not available from this site or on the Great Stuff CD.)

Windows 95

Recommended Updates

  2. Microsoft Share Level Password Update  ( 9/4/2001, 203kb )
    Download my copy ( as of 7/15/2004 )
    This update resolves the "Windows Share Level Password" vulnerability in Windows 95. If a computer that is linked to a network has File and Print Sharing enabled, and has at least one password-protected folder shared, it may be possible for a user on the network to gain unauthorized access to the folder. This vulnerability exists because of the way the password feature of share level access is implemented for Windows 95 computers. A malicious user can exploit this vulnerability and use a special client utility to gain access to a share without knowing the entire password, and may be able to retrieve, modify, or delete any file within that share. Download now to help prevent unauthorized access to files that are shared over a network that uses share level security.
