If IIS authentication were enabled on a web server would it prevent buffer overflow attacks unless the attacker had valid credentials. I would think that the web server would not process the initial get request until it had successfully authenticated the client?? Just curious if this would add any protection to a www site.. _______________________________________________ Intrusions mailing list [email protected] http://www.dshield.org/mailman/listinfo/intrusions
