    Jeremy,
    
    I'm not sure if your serious or not, but this is probably the most
    common IIS exploit found. Wherever the destination address is located
    you're going to find IIS and a compromised scripts directory. The
    command (cmd.exe) interpreter has been renamed and copied to the
    c:\inetpub\scripts\root.exe and the intruder is using it to gain command
    line access to your system. This is basically the ultimate goal of a
    hacker. You need to search the system for root.exe and delete it. In
    addition you need to check and reset the permissions for C:\inetpub\*.
    At a minimum change the scripts directory to read only. Do a search on
    bugtraq for codered II. That should give you a more detailed action
    plan. My opinion would be to rebuild the box with all current patches
    and service packs. 
    
    Good Luck!
    
    CB

    Subject: New scanner?
    
    Hello all,
    
      My snort box picked this up yesterday fron two
    different source ip's and I was wondering if anyone
    had seen this pattern before. Both times snort logged
    718 alerts consisting of the following:
    
    1 instances of WEB-IIS multiple decode attempt 
    1 instances of FTP invalid MODE 
    1 instances of WEB-MISC http directory traversal 
    2 instances of WEB-IIS scripts access 
    2 instances of (spp_portscan2) Portscan detected 
    3 instances of WEB-IIS Unicode2.pl script (File
    permission canonicalization) 
    6 instances of POLICY FTP anonymous login attempt 
    17 instances of WEB-IIS CodeRed v2 root.exe access 
    685 instances of WEB-IIS cmd.exe access 
    
    This may have been around awhile but its the first
    time I've seen it, so I figured I would ask. If this
    is something new I do have packets captures from all
    the alerts.
    
    Thanks,
      Jeremy
