Re: IIS 6 exploited

[Venkatesh Selvaraju <venkatesh.selvaraju () gmail com>]

Asai,

Harden IIS by following the CIS benchmark hardening procedure:
http://cisecurity.org/bench_iis.html

Also, the IIS Lockdown tool reduces the attack surface of
IIS-dependent Microsoft products by disabling unnecessary features
such as FTP, SMTP, and NNTP. Install and run the IIS Lockdown tool.
Follow the Lockdown configuration tool.
