  • 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 = …

    UPDATE 12/18/06: The startup script has been modified slightly (cscript.exe was changed to wscript.exe). Now, console users will no longer encounter a blank black box upon login.

    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. …

    Share on:

    Recently my Exchange server got pounded by spammers that were attacking my NDR (non delivery report) capabilities. Turning off NDRs helped 75% and I explored Exchange quite a bit along the way to figure out that last 25%. It seems that I had 180 emails stuck in my queue.

    This may only be useful for wscript.exe so it may not have universal appeal but I'll list it anyway. The first script is to be inserted at the top of the wscript file you'd like to monitor. The second file is to be run as a scheduled task. SQL Server is used to keep track of the PIDs. SQL Server Express is free so you …
