UrlScan is a security tool for Microsoft Internet information service (IIS) that restricts the types of HTTP requests that the server (IIS) will process. By blocking specific HTTP requests, the UrlScan security tool helps prevent potentially harmful requests from reaching the server. UrlScan will now install as a clean installation without Microsoft IISLocakDown Tool on Microsoft servers running IIS 4.0 and later. At this web site I'll try to pass my experience & my knowledge about UrlScan & Miscrosoft Internet Information Services.

While the UrlScan security tool helps protect your server from attacks, you should always evaluate and apply the latest security updates from Microsoft. As new security vulnerabilities are discovered, Microsoft publishes updates such as service packs, patches, or hotfixes. To help mitigate any risks such vulnerabilities might present, you need to apply these security updates as they become available.
