IIS Version and Interanl IP being Revealed


IIS Version and Interanl IP being Revealed DoktorWho

iis security: During a recent security scan of our IIS 6 box, it was shown that the II
Version, 6 in this case, and the Internal IP address of the box were being
shown externally.

Why would this be and how can I fix this.

For IIS 5, you could control the version via URLscan. So maybe take a look
in whatever that interface was migrated to with version 6.

There is no way to control the Server: header. URLScan makes a reasonable
attempt but will not set/remove it in all cases. And we are fine with that
because this is not a security issue, per the rationale from the blog entry.
