A client of mine recently made the comment to me that NT was a more
secure Web server than UNIX because it was a newer operating system and
hackers haven't found any big holes in it yet. Since I have never been a
fan of "Security through Ignorance", I though I would ask the list if
there are any known security holes with NT as far as WWW servers go. I
do know that the Registry is accessible remotely, but is that a default
setting? Is there any resources on the 'Net that points out potential
security holes? Is there any known equivilents to the NSCA/phf hole in
NT??
Thanks in advance!!
