  • VBScript: Stop Dictionary FTP Attacks in IIS using VBScript

    Oct 31, 2006 · 3 min read  ·
    Share on:

    Spencer Ruport of netortech.com modified my FTP ban script into one that stops dictionary attacks.

Set objFTPSVC = GetObject("IIS://localhost/MSFTPSVC") Set objFSO = …

    Apr 27, 2006 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    I dug up this cold from my old netnerds blog. For Googlers wondering if sustaining a remote session is possible, the answer is yes; I've sustained remote cookie sessions using both ASP & VBScript. I've provided simplified code below. It should be self explanatory. If not, drop me a comment and I'll explain it. …

    Apr 10, 2006 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on:

    I love parsing through IIS logfiles but I dislike the directory structure that Microsoft creates for IIS logging. Each site has a randomly generated directory name so, for example, "netnerds.net" could store its files in "C:\windows\system32\logfiles\W3SVC720199813." Who wants to track that down? …
