iXsecurity Security Tool Release
briiis.pl v3.02
================

Tool Description
- - ------------
Briiis is a tool for testing web servers for "/" encoding
break out from web root vulnerability from an executable
directory.
E.g. IIS Unicode and double encoding vulnerabilities.

It's also worth remembering that Exchange uses IIS to provide Outlook
Web Access and that this (always?) makes the /exchange path a script
directory. It would appear that these hosts often get overlooked when
the patch monkey is instructed to hotfix "all our IIS servers" :)

Kudos to the author of the IIS unicode plugin in Nessus for pointing
this out to me. :)

Best Regards,
Alex.
