RE: OVERSIZE REQUEST-URI DIRECTORY outbound from my network

["East, Bill" <eastb () PFFCU org>]

With DotNet it's very likely that the code is generating a long and
complicated "viewstate" ID which is getting embedded in your URLs. For
example, in an online banking app I use, a partial viewstate is

PDtsPGk8MD47aTwzPjtpPDQ+O2k8NT47aTw2Pjs+O2w8dDxwPGw8VmlzaWJsZTs+O2w8bzxm
Pjs+Pjs7Pjt0PHA8cDxsPEJhY2tDb2xvcjtfIVNCO1Zpc2libGU7PjtsPDI8MjU1LCAyNTUs
IDI1NT47aTw4PjtvPHQ+Oz4+Oz47bDxpPDA+O2k8MT47PjtsPHQ8cDxsPGJnY29sb3I7Pjts
P

(that's less than half of it)...

So IIS servers, which previously were vulnerable to attacks based on
very long URLs, are now almost guaranteed to receive them. Welcome to
the world of the future.
