Unicode on IIS Vulnerability...Again!

Yup, you read it right.... Microsoft has a new vulnerability in IIS 6.0 which is more specifically: WebDav Unicode Remote Auth Bypass.

This means that an attacker can send malformed requests to the web server via the URL of a browser and be able to bypass passwords to download and list files on the webserver's protected folders.

Simple and easy way to hack IIS! Here are the details and links:
