MS releases IIS 'lockdown' utility | |
|
||
| Time: 10:21 EST/15:21 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Microsoft has released its latest security-oriented utility, this time addressing the many vulnerabilities in Internet Information Server (IIS) with its free 'IIS Lockdown Tool'. The purpose here is not to patch systems like the HFNetChk hotfix checker, but to configure IIS for improved security independent of patching. The IIS utility will automatically remove script mappings, sample Web files, the scripts virtual directory, and the MSADC virtual directory. It disables active server pages (asp), the index server Web interface (ida), server-side includes, Internet printing, and distributed authoring and versioning (WebDAV). It also sets file permissions to prevent the anonymous user account from writing to Web content directories or executing system utilities. | ||
