IIS 3.0 pen-test

Hi all,

I am conducting a penetration test for one of our clients and some of the
webservers they are running are IIS 3.0.

Well besides the rest of the vulnerabilites with MS IIS 3.0, I tested the
servers for Unicode and it seemed they were vulnerable. ( I check using a
perl script that I found on Packetstorm) it discovered that the servers were
vulnerable to various forms of the unicode vulnerability.

Ok, now to the meat of it. I opened my browser and attempted a directory
listing using the scripts directory (which I know existed). I got an error
saying "HTTP/1.0 403 Access Forbidden (Execute Access Denied -This Virtual
Directory does not allow objects to be executed.)"

I'm guessing that execution of commands is not allowed on that directory.

I also tried with the msadc directory (which I know existed), but with the
same result as above.

Does anyone have any ideas on this one? I basically want to knwo if it's
possible to use the uni code vulnerbaility to execute commands remotely.

Thanks in advance.
