What is the folder "Inetpub" in Win2K?

n0c is correct. If you don't know what that folder is you definately don't need to be using it. Either disable the services or uninstall IIS. Better yet since you're infected (and I guess I know by what) why don't you just reinstall and not install IIS.

BTW how about giving me your IP address so I know which entry in my logs you are.

4.60.... Hey now 😛
Have you checked out any of the servers hitting you? Ive been poking around a bit (notified one person he was infected with a quick net send from his own machine 😛 ), and some of them seem to be hosting ftp servers. I just thought it was kind of funny myself. 🙂

Back when the first version hit I did. I've been on too many projects to dwell on it much here lately. I just don't understand why it seems so hard for people to patch. <shakes head and walks away in disbelief>

1. People have been separated from the computer enough to not know what is going on. This is one of Windows' failings, in my opinion of course. Install Frontpage and IIS gets installed and runs. That is bad 😉
2. Most people, if they do know they are running it, do not realize that much about it.
3. If they do know about problems with it they are too lazy to do anything about it.
4. Many patches break parts of the system after they are applied. I cannot install sp2 on my Win2k machine (there is a thread about it here somewhere) because I get an INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DISK or some such blue screen upon bootup after installing it. That is bad.

Just wait for IIS 6.0, total rewrite (supposedly) so there will be whole new problems to discover!

And I only looked at some of the machines during a "just got home from the bar and I should check my email and what is this?" type of night 😛
 
I do agree that it's a little too easy for IIS to be installed. There should at least be some notification warning the user of the possible security risks if not properly patched. However once they know about it, it's not hard to keep the patches current.

Some patches and hotfixes can cause a problem. I'm never on the bleeding edge of a SP update unless it's absolutely necessary. However I do run the security updates as sson as I feel comfortable with them.

sp2 has been out for a while. Just for some reason it dont work for me 😛

I agree for the most part though, just people are lazy and ignorant. And the laziness keeps them ignorant.
 
I would consider SP2 to be safe. I've installed it on my machines. I think I know what you refer to, but my memory's fuzzy. It was a certain hardware configuration or chipset I believe. Hell, if I hadn't had to pull my hair out over the problem I wouldn't know for sure though.

From what little I have read on it, it deals with ATA100 controllers. Ive got a vp6 which uses a VIA chipset. But even with the VIA 4in1 drivers it still blue screens. Im not too worried about it. Ive got tiny running on the machine behind an OpenBSD firewall, so it shouldnt be too bad. Just no ATA100. I can deal with it for now since Im tired of reinstalling 😛

Maybe that was it. See, there's your problem. You should know better. Go SCSI. 😉

I will take personal checks or cash, no credit cards.

SCSI is in the future, but at this current time there are more important things for this 21 year old to be purchasing. 😛

Ohhhh, so your old enough for pr0n mags now, right??? 😛 😉

Depending on where I bought them I have been old enough since I was 16, but those were uhmmm easy to pocket in some bookstores 😉

I moved on to liquor now 😀

I figured CayJon can come back tomorrow and see how popular his thread is until he realizes we answered the question in the first two posts and got bored for the rest 😛
