Subject: HTTP request with SMTP message

Hi Tiago,
This is the same abuse that normally affects Apache ( With Apache you can
use mod_rewrite to redirect this type of abuse to another url )
This is the proof that open source is better :)
In IIS you can set some rules ,or use urlscan , etc .
Try to install a IDS in front of the webserver and filter the requests to
HTTP that contain the headers of  a SMTP transfer.
___snippet of mod_rewrite for apache :)____

If you want to  use Apache instead of IIS :
:) its better of course !

RewriteEngine on

RewriteLog "/[log dir]/fsckers-smtp-t-http.log"

RewriteLogLevel 1

RewritCond  %{THE_REQUEST} CONNECT.*

RewriteRule /$ /youfuckerspammer.html [L]



why this ?

Because attackers normally use a netcat connection to dump the smtp relay
information for trabsfer emails , etc :

trulux@...l /home/trulux:$  netcat www.pooradmintothehell.foo 80 CONNECT
smtp.mail.yahoo.com:25 HTTP/1.0

and the webserver receive the CONNECT line , with mod_rewrite this request
will not work.
If you want to see who is trying this simply check for apache log entries
like this:
127.0.0.1 - - [[date]] "CONNECT smtp.mail.yahoo.com:25 HTTP /1.0" 200 203
"-" "-"

___/snippet___

I hope this post will help you a little to take the correct way for portect
your webserver :)

Best regards to all FD,
