Same symptoms on our old NT4.0 Sp6a box.

Here's a thing.

Doing a routine check to make sure code red didn't make it past our
firewall, and patches, and stuff, I found a copy of root.exe in
inetpub/scripts of one of my servers.  But no other signs of CR.  No
explorer.exe, no regsitry settings, no virtual roots, no threads, no
wierd processes.  Just root.exe.  And according to the oldest backup we
have, which is July 17th, it was there.  First I saw of code red 1 was
the 19th of July.

Now, this box be old, and wasn't under IT control for a while.  Does
anybody know of any other IIS exploits that tend to drop a root.exe into
inetpub/scripts?  I'm pretty sure there are some....
