Francesco, There are many ways this server could have been comrpomised. You need to provide significantly more information: 1. What ports on this server are exposed to the Internet? Are you sure (i.e. check the firewall rules yourself or perform a port scan from the outside)? 2. Have you retrieved the IIS logs? Can you post them or provide access to them (sterilize your IP addresses, if you wish)? 3. What, if any, service packs and hot fixes have been applied? Regards, Chris

I have a Windows 2003 Server running IIS 6, SQL Server 2000, MailEnable, and ASP.NET 1.1. WWW and FTP are enabled, but restricted by IP. FTP is additionally protected by authentication. Yesterday someone managed to access the server and dump 8GB of DVD files into a deeply nested folder in a backup directory, for sharing I presume. The payload folder was NOT within the available folders given access to FTP users. Someone was able to "see" the entire D drive and figure out a hidden enough location at their whimsy. I thought the server was fairly well locked down, but apparently not. What is the usual method of intrusion for "warez" attacks like these? Francesco
