SCAN: IIS .cnf Probe
This signature detects SpeedDial attacks.
Extended Description
An issue has been reported that a number of configuration files (.cnf) in Microsoft IIS 5.1, could be used to disclose sensitive system information to remote users. Allegedly, submitting a request for one of the vulnerable files by way of '/_vti_pvt/', will cause the host to reveal system path information. The reported problematic files are 'access.cnf', 'botinfs.cnf', 'bots.cnf' and 'linkinfo.cnf'. Microsoft has not confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities. * Confliciting details exist. This issue may be the result of a configuration error, although this has not been confirmed
