Am I hacked? IIS dying, 'telnet localhost 443' gives: Hallo, Willkommen auf Compactzone Stro!
iis security:
I posted yesterday about my IIS dying. Original post is below. General consensus and mosts docs on the 115 error say something is listening on my http/https ports, however, netstat does not show anything. I am checking into third party utilities to get more info, but I found something very disturbing: My favorite trick for seeing if SMTP servers are running is 'telnet <host> 25' to see if server responds. I did this for port 80 and 443, and even when web service is stopped, I get a response on 443 that says: Hallo, Willkommen auf Compactzone Stro! Ich hoffe, Sie haben viel Spa¯! Loader Danke fnr ihren Besuch! Bist zum nSchsten Mal! Loader This cannot be good. How can I find what this is and get rid of it? Any help _greatly_ appreciated Hal ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Something happened to my Exchange server over the weekend that caused a crash (nothing logged) and upon startup my IIS is failing with Event ID 115 (Service could not bind instance 1). This error is logged for both MSFTPSVC and W3SVC. All services seem to be running but OWA access to either port 80 or 443 gets a page cannot be displayed error. The access attempt is responded to with an account login and the logs show the access attempt. I am running a certificate, and a port redirection from port 80. Most docs I have found on this refer to running multiple instances which I do not have. My securebindings in metabase is correct. I have no other instances of either FTP or W3SVC. This behaves exactly the same either on reboot or IIS Admin restart. I have tried disabling SSL by removing port listener in default web site properties and service behaves exactly the same so it doesn't seem to be an SSL related problem. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. thanks

Hal, You're right. This doesn't sound good. You need to find out which process is binding to ports 80 and /or 443 on your server ASAP ! Any of these tools will do this for you : http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/tcpview.shtml http://www.foundstone.com/index.htm?subnav=resources/navigation.htm&subcontent=/resources/proddesc/fport.htm Availability and description of the Port Reporter tool http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837243 In the meantime I would seriously consider disconnecting your server from any network as a precaution. I think you may need to spend some time reading this : http://securityadmin.info/faq.asp#hackerstoc http://securityadmin.info/faq.asp#re-secure http://securityadmin.info/faq.asp#harden Regards, Paul Lynch

PS you are probably missing patches and have other insecure configuration. While it is useful to figure out what was done and what you did wrong, you may want to consider formatting and reinstalling and fully securing the computer after you have exhausted your investigation. http://securityadmin.info/faq.asp#re-secure http://securityadmin.info/faq.asp#harden [quoted text, click to view] <hal@nospam.com> wrote in message news:96r5e05udqs76rnd135j75luutvaoct0id@4ax.com... > On Wed, 30 Jun 2004 17:14:17 +0100, Paul Lynch <paul.lynch@nospam.com> > wrote: > > >You're right.

Hi Hal. I am having the same problem you are. I have a server running IIS and I can't browse to port 443 using SSL anymore. It just started yesterday. I've been trying everything I can think of to get it going with no success. When I try to telnet the server using port 443 I get the same message you were getting that says 'Hallo, Wilkommen auf Compactzone Stro!'. Have you found a way to resolve this issue yet? I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated. If you don't have a solution yet and I can somehow figure out how to resolve this thing I will be sure to let you know.

This is probably a flavor of Hacker Defender. The bottom line is a miscreant has remote access to the box with admin rights. You should format and reinstall the server. The attack vector could have been a exposed vulnerability, or a compromised admin account. It is likely that an MS04-011 vulnerability was exploited so you may want to confirm what day 835732 was applied. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hello, I have the same issue as noted below but was unable to find anything in the registry. I ran the utilities and nothing is registering on ports 443, 2004 or 21. However when I open a dos prompt and telnet to them I receive the German stuff letting me know they are open. Have you seen this before? I can't figure out what has these ports open.

You may have been taken over by something more insidious, like a rootkit that is able to fool utilities. I would seriously suggest you restore the machine from known good backups (or rebuild the machine from scratch) Cheers Ken [quoted text, click to view] "Damien" <damianini@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:9e04e035.0407131049.68b821c9@posting.google.com...

Hal, I just read your post from June about your IIS issue and I a having the same problem (I think) since I installed Sygate Firewall. Not sure what's going on...did you resolve your problem? If so, can email you tonight for troubleshooting session? I have tried everythin you have described and don't see my port 443 listed anywhere except o Sygate screen and when I do a backtrace, I end up somewhere no describable by the program...
