WebDAV Exploit Checking Tool

IIS 6 sites with the WebDAV extension enabled may be vulnerable to authentication bypass because of a bug in the way that the extension handles Unicode characters.

Cutting the URI path with random Unicode characters allows hackers to bypass the access control list. Depending on the permissions of the Web server files, a hacker would be able to retrieve user names and passwords, upload, overwrite and delete files, or run malicious code.
