Mike and everyone else: Thanks a lot for the quick replies! This is really worrying! I couldn't find root.exe on any of our machines, but what about the attempts to run cmd.exe on our server?
We have IIS 5 with the latest patches. Thanks for any comforting....

Use "Find Files" to look for "root.exe" on your server. If you find it, you've been hacked or infected. Best option: Move to a webserver that doesn't have quite so many security flaws If you HAVE to stick with IIS: - Reformat the machine, reload the OS - Upgrade IIS to version 5 or later - Apply the latest cumulative patch and any patches after it from: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/secur ity/current.asp?productid=17&servicepackid=0&submit1=go - Follow Microsoft's checklist for IIS 5: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/TechNet/prodt echnol/iis/tips/iis5chk.asp (click on "IIS 5 Security Considerations" at the top of the right side pane) Mike Burden Lynk Systems http://www.lynk.com (616)532-4985 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Marc Suxdorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 11:09 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [gb-users] Not Gnatbox but security related > > > Hi everyone > > I have to administer our small company network in my spare time which > hopefully explains my little security knowledge... > I have just come across a scary entry in our Windows 2000 > Server Internet > Information Services 5.0 log: > > 2002-01-17 10:52:31 62.161.107.167 - 10.10.1.1 80 GET > /scripts/root.exe > /c+dir 403 www - > 2002-01-17 10:52:46 62.161.107.167 - 10.10.1.1 80 GET > /MSADC/root.exe /c+dir > 403 www - > 2002-01-17 10:52:54 62.161.107.167 - 10.10.1.1 80 GET > /c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe /c+dir 403 www - > 2002-01-17 10:53:03 62.161.107.167 - 10.10.1.1 80 GET > /d/winnt/system32/cmd.exe /c+dir 403 www - > 2002-01-17 10:53:18 62.161.107.167 - 10.10.1.1 80 GET > /scripts/..%5c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe /c+dir 403 www - > > Is someone currently executing terrible things on our server? > > I would be very greatfull for any quick help and/or explanation! > > Thanks a lot and best wishes to everyone > > Marc > > Suxdorf Studios f�r Design > Milchstrasse 6b > D-20148 Hamburg > Tel +49 (40) 41345-100 > Fax +49 (40) 41345-101 > Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To subscribe to the digest version first unsubscribe, then > e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe to the digest version first unsubscribe, then e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
