About this tag
The tag 'block requests' on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about blocking specific HTTP requests to enhance security, particularly in IIS environments. Content includes Microsoft Security Advisory 2416728, which recommends blocking requests that specify application error paths on the querystring. This can be achieved using URLScan or the Request Filtering feature in IIS on Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. The tag focuses on practical workarounds and tools for administrators to selectively block malicious requests.
