Trying to get some clarification for myself:  Ok, so I have full access to the FrontPage server application (via no 
password set).  I am able to upload/download/delete/etc.  At this point you could already deface the website.  Why 
would you use a tool like tool25.dat?  I am not familiar with this tool, but is it used to gain access to a web server, 
or used after you already have upload/download privileges?

tool25.dat and other scripts have functionality that can include
connecting to mysql, mssql, oracle, postgres databases, browsing
directories, sending email and of course trying a variety of different
ways to execute system commands.

for example, see

In some ways, they're the web equivalent of the tgz's full of local
privilege escalation exploits that people like to upload.

There is probably an ASP equivalent - all of the ones I have looked at
are for PHP.

cheers,
Jamie
