Posted January 27, 201213 yr Hi there! I'm having difficulty finding information on the security risks related to binary and script behaviors. From what I understand binary behaviors are run with the same permissions as the local user. Users in my environment still work with local administrator permissions (for the moment, that is just the way it is) so I would think that binary behaviors enabled in the Internet zone could potentially be a very dangerous thing. So I disabled Binary and Script Behaviors in the internet zone via group policy. However, this caused a somewhat commonly used internet website (mapfan.com) to stop working. I need to figure out what I should do with this binary behaviors setting. What is the prevalence of binary behaviors on the internet? Am I right in thinking that they are a dated technology? Am I doing the right thing by disabling them on the Internet zone? Why are they enabled by default in IE8? Thank you in advance for you help. Continue reading...
