RE: Help Exploiting MQ

["Dimitrov, Constantin" <cdimitrov () micros com>]

Message Queuing is a message infrastructure and a development platform for
creating distributed, loosely-coupled messaging applications for the
MicrosoftR WindowsR operating system. Message Queuing applications can use
the Message Queuing infrastructure to communicate across heterogeneous
networks and with computers that may be offline. Message Queuing provides
guaranteed message delivery, efficient routing, security, transaction
support, and priority-based messaging.

MQ is Message Queueing or upgraded version of RPC.
For start MQ API is in MQRT.DLL, COM object is also available MQOA.DLL
Security functions are in MQSEC.DLL.
For example:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;821144
Can use certificates ASN.1 DER encoded format 
It's available on servers you need to add it from Add/Remove Windows
Components.

Same tools that exploit RPC weaknesses can do the work for MQ
