Re: Hacked!

IIS has a security record at all?

Seriously, a misconfigured (or unconfigured) IIS server is kind of like putting up a little sign that says "Free access, just need to know how to spell cmd.exe"

So does your server actually use IIS? (I'm sorry if that was mentioned and I missed it, little rushed) and also do you know how it was hacked? Many of the simpler and common exploits are patchable.

Also, do you have a firewall running to block off access to only the relevant ports? (80, perhaps 25/143 if it handles e-mail as well).

If you want more tips on securing a computer e-mail me or PM me.
matt AT zilla DOT pyroweb DOT us.

Bye all.
