      IIS Security and Programming Countermeasures
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    A very good how-to guide has been written by Jason. The guide will try to
    help administrators secure their IIS installation. Before diving into the
    systematic hardening instructions, the guide will try to explain the
    following:
     * The different threats
     * The current available tools (referred as "Hacking Tools", i.e.
    non-commercial tools) in the market
     * The architecture used by IIS (the different components from which IIS
    is built from)

    From there the guide will explain the most important of all, the different
    methods with which you can harden your IIS installation.

    DETAILS

    Introduction:
    This is a book about how to secure Microsoft Internet Information Services
    for administrators and programmers whose work includes a requirement for
    information security, a computer industry specialty field commonly
    referred to as infosec. In this book, the terms information security and
    infosec are used interchangeably with the more friendly term data
    security. This is not a book about hacking, cracking, and the tools and
    techniques of the bad guys, the so-called black hat hackers. This book
    teaches computer professionals and infosec specialists how to build secure
    solutions using IIS. It is your duty to secure and defend networked
    information systems for the benefit of the good people who are your end
    users, clients, or less technical coworkers.
