Autorun to install an INF

CounterCW

IIS 5 Vulnerability

I will be sending this to Philipp for the front page, but I think that others may be like me and just go straight to the forums without going to the front page that often. This is an email that I got from about a new hole found in IIS 5.

Question about Nero

ahearnb

Can i add services?

rgodart
i would like to make a file run as a service. This file is devldr32. exe ( from the sblive drivers). I know there is a tool called liveservice around to do that, but it just doesn't work on the latest WDM drivers.
