Hey Ru$kboy. Welcome to AO. I did a quick search on Google and found an MS article on Securing IIS . It's on Microsoft's Knowledge Base. Also, I believe there are some resources here on AO that may answer this as well. You can try a search from the home page. You'd be surprised what kind of information you'd find. AO is a great place to harvest resources, but you have to be able to research it. Good luck with your webserver. ;)

Ru$k,

If you'd like, I can post the doc that I hand out to our NetAdmins on how to lock down an IIS install. Just let me know and I will pop it up here on this thread.

Regards.

This is a little tool i found by using *Google* it will disable some features, to prevent security breaches.



Ru$kb0y...

OK gang, here is a link to the guide that I wrote. Do I have to mention that I take no responsibility if something gets hosed?! :-)

Edit: Yep, the lockdown tool is great. URLScan is included in that, and it blocks and logs things like unicode attacks and what not...
