HTTP: Microsoft IIS 5 NTLM and Basic Authentication Bypass
This signature detects attempts to bypass IIS 5 Basic or NTLM Authentication. A successful attacker could gain access to protected documents and code.
Extended Description
Index Server can be used to cause IIS to display the source of .asp and possibly other server-side processed files. By appending a space (%20) to the end of the filename specified in the 'CiWebHitsFile' variable, and setting 'CiHiliteType' to 'Full' and 'CiRestriction' to 'None', it is possible to retrieve the unprocessed source of the file. This is possible on any machine with Index Server installed, even those with no normal .htw files, because the virtual file null.htw is stored in memory and the .htw extension is mapped by default to webhits.dll .
