Re: finding webroot on IIS

Try to exploit the *.idq bug. Do a request like 
http://www.acme.com/anything.idq

If the server is vulnerable, you should see the webroot...

Have a nice day,

hello all,

Recently i came across an IIS webserver that i found to be vulnerable to
the Unicode attacks. However, i cannot determine the webroot of this drive,
and therefore i am having troubles reaching a full comprimise.  The
directory "C:\Inetpub" exists, but the only contents of this directory is
the folder "mailroot".

Additionally, when i connect and request the root document (ie GET / ), it
returns the string: "<% Response.ContentType = "text/plain" %> HELLO"

Does anyone come across anything like this before, and what would be the
simplest method of determining the webroot?

thanks in advance
