IIS Misconfiguration Checks

Enumerate IIS misconfigurations including directory listing, WebDAV, default pages, request filtering bypasses, and insecure authentication settings.

IIS vulnerability discovery targets the misconfigurations and exposed features that make Windows web servers exploitable. Misconfigured handlers that execute unexpected file types, exposed admin interfaces, and overly permissive directory browsing are common findings.

Directory traversal through Unicode encoding or double-dot bypasses affects specific IIS versions. Weak authentication on management endpoints and leftover installation artifacts provide additional attack vectors.

The subpages cover handler misconfiguration checks, admin interface detection, traversal testing, and authentication weakness identification.
