Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a black-box assessment of an old IIS 6.0 web server, you issue the following request:

GET /scripts/..%c0%af../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+type+win.ini HTTP/1.0

The server returns the contents of the Windows configuration file even though directory browsing and basic filtering for "../" are enabled. Which web-server attack technique does this request rely on?

  • HTTP response splitting

  • DNS zone transfer

  • Unicode directory traversal (double-encoded path traversal)

  • Cross-site tracing (XST)
