WebDav is a high candidate.  It was enabled by default in IIS5.  It uses 
port 80 and their where known exploits allowing hackers to modify web 
content within 24 hours of the publishing of the bug.

The idea is that IIS will improperly translate URLS received via webDav 
that include unicode "\" characters which allows the request to escape 
the defined webDav directory and access any directory on the site.
