I just found this the other day and will save me purshasing a conversation tool for word to PDF.

Hope this helps someone else in the future, Not sure Adobe will love MS for this but it is great for consumers.

SQL Injections ASP

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

Neil Capenter shows another example of why ASP and using Black list is a really bad idea.

This is really interesting because it shows
"ASP drops a percent sign from the query string if it isn't followed by two valid hex characters(0-9, A-F) when it actually interprets it via Request.QueryString. "

Neil proves this in a test page it shows that the earlier attacks are again being updated to go past filters. If companies have patched a fix over this type of hole then they will be facing a more complete attack soon.

The new version of URL scan specifically checks for this and is worth having in your toolkit.
