Re: Hacker

unfortunetly, that's a common downside with MS products.
People tends to think it's "click & play", while they will read doc for others products, as they don't have associated the "click & play" with these products, or they are in a way you can't do "click & play" with them.

I am sure MS is aware of this downside, as with Exchange 2007 or Windows 2008 core edition, you have to learn powershell and commands before starting to change things.

just my 2 cents,

yes - more IIS FTP are subjected for break in, but that's NOT because of the product.
the issue is the element between the monitor and the chair.

anything product without proper configuration is subjected to attacks as well.

bottom line is not the product, but rather how you deploy and configure it.

Actually, the problem is that after all of these years, that even
seasoned IT types misconfigure FTP as well as other services all the
time which leads to compromising the server. Few people misconfigure
FileZilla FTP and even fewer misconfigured FileZilla servers are used to
compromise the OS/Server.

I've seen hundreds of compromised Windows boxes because of Windows FTP,
not a single compromised FileZilla FTP server.
