Christian,

There are only 3 on your blog. Where is the Win2K/IIS5 technote?

I took one down because it was actually just an update to an old TechNote, but here it is:

Wow! Thanks for posting these. How long have we been running with the debug basically open for anyone to see?

Was this in any of the documentation for any version? I think that it needs to be in the docs for any version, as well as the security recommendations.

My favorite line from the tech note:

The information is not a direct security risk but could help someone with bad intentions.

Aren't they the only ones you have to worry about?

Thanks for the heads up!

As opposed to someone with good intentions who might help you debug your application? Oh, well. Glad you found the TechNote useful.

I have a gift in making everything I type come off sarcastic and rude.. sorry about that.

No worries. I thought it was funny, too!

I found it hilarious.
