This may just reflect my ignorance, but I read (and found hard to believe) that Microsoft has implemented RPC over HTTP. Is this not a HUGE security hole? If I understand it correctly it means that good old HTML or XML can invoke a process using standard web traffic (port 80)? Is there any permission checking done? what things can be invoked by RPC over HTTP? Jeeze, to me it looks like the barn door is now wide open. Am I right, and if so, how can I detect RPCs in web traffic to block this junk? Can ANY stateful packet filter see this stuff or is the pattern too broad in allowed RPCs?
Again, I hope this is not a stupid question or inappropriate format for this, as somebody else recently said, there is already enough noise on this list. I would hate to see this list degenerate, it has been REALLY valuable to me as a network engineer on occaison.
