-- Posted by mephisto mortis at 2:07 pm on Oct. 18, 2004 (this is more a question for anyone who knows for sure...) Doesn anybody know what OS the LW servers run on?  If its Linux, what disrtobution?  If windows, what version?  Something just piqued my intrest about this... -- Posted by XxCrazyDawg69xX at 2:36 pm on Oct. 18, 2004 You should ask the administrator David that question.  (davjs) I really have no clue.   -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 3:00 pm on Oct. 18, 2004 Yea i was wondering that but i figured he had more important things to do..... -- Posted by sriehl at 4:26 pm on Oct. 19, 2004 its win32 with a mysql backend database. -- Posted by mephisto mortis at 11:50 am on Oct. 20, 2004 Where did you find this out?  In Dave's profile it says his computer is a Mac, but I assume this isn't the LW server.   -- Posted by Macropiper at 9:18 pm on Oct. 20, 2004 Some form of linux. -- Posted by sriehl at 11:43 am on Oct. 21, 2004 Quote: from mephisto mortis at 12:50 pm on Oct. 20, 2004 Where did you find this out?  In Dave's profile it says his computer is a Mac, but I assume this isn't the LW server.   here is what I found out: Interesting ports on 66-194-152-50.dimenoc.com (66.194.152.50):                 (The 1649 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: filtered)             PORT     STATE  SERVICE                                                                                                           21/tcp   open   ftp                                                                                                                       80/tcp   open   http                                                             110/tcp  open   pop3                                                                                                                     143/tcp  open   imap                                                             443/tcp  open   https                                                   995/tcp  open   pop3s                                                           3306/tcp closed mysql                                                           6666/tcp closed irc-serv                                                                                               TCP/IP fingerprint:                                                             SInfo(V=3.75%P=i686-pc-windows-windows%D=10/21%Tm=41780255%O=21%C=20)           There is more but that is all I felt was nesicesary to make my point.

It's very easy to fake that, in fact faking banners is quite common as it throws hackers off. also, it is quite common for apache to be mistaken for windows by lots of tools The way the tool sriehl used works is that it looks for distinctive ways in which different operating systems handle TCP/IP. The results from that are generally a lot more reliable than what a server says it's running, and a lot harder to spoof. For the record, a test here with a old version of that tool gives "Linux 2.4.X" as the os. Sriehl, either you typoed or the internet ate some of the fingerprint stuff. -- Posted by pleaseremove at 4:59 pm on Feb. 25, 2005 ok, you win on that one...*takes note* -- Posted by sriehl at 11:32 pm on Feb. 26, 2005 I showed you scans that I did quite a few months back and pointed you to a site who *should* have current information.  Yes it does contridict, but they were taken at different times, and with different tools. -- Posted by BoggyB at 6:03 am on Feb. 27, 2005 Quote: from sriehl at 7:43 pm on Oct. 21, 2004 here is what I found out: Interesting ports on 66-194-152-50.dimenoc.com (66.194.152.50): (snip)                                     TCP/IP fingerprint:                                                             SInfo(V=3.75%P=i686-pc-windows-windows%D=10/21%Tm=41780255%O=21%C=20) After tinkering around with that utility on my network, I think I know why you got that. That's part of the response given when it finds a service not in the list. The i686-pc-windows-windows refers to your computer, not LW's servers. -- Posted by sriehl at 12:35 pm on Feb. 27, 2005 Except I was using Debian.
