Sorry for the site being down temporarily.  I did not apply the hotfix as
Russ had referenced earlier to prevent the IIS crash on telnet to 80,
"GET ../..".  It has been applied now, and GET ../.. does not crash
the machine.

This attack causes Dr. Watson to display an alert window and to log an 
error: "The application, exe\inetinfo.dbg, generated an application error 
The error occurred on 12/11/1996 @ 20:30:50.318 The exception generated 
was c0000005 at address 53984655 (TCP_AUTHENT::TCP_AUTHENT"

The last entry is pretty darn near the crash time of 20:30:50.

Interestingly 204.252.155.133 traces out:
#trace 204.252.155.133
 
Type escape sequence to abort.

Grepping my Eudora firewall list for KOL.CO.KR finds a message:

Hi alls

I tried "telnet www.server.my 80" and "GET ../.."
My server is crashed. 
and I tried "telnet www.microsoft.com 80" and "GET ../.."
but, MS' www server was not crashed.

Why not?
