“ASPXErrorPath in URL” Technique in Scanning a .Net Web Application

When a .NET site redirects every failure to one custom error page, 404 and 500 become indistinguishable to a crawler. Adding ?aspxerrorpath=/ to the request makes ASP.NET surface the real status code, so a scanner can tell a missing file from a broken one. The defence offered is rewriting any request carrying aspxerrorpath outside the error page.
