Hello,

I remember I once had a program which showed the os ( linux, windows ), ip etc. of a server, e.g.
mydomain,.com saying redhat 6,0, 123.123.123.123 etc.

Does anybody know about it ?

thanks sunny

Scanning servers that don't belong to you, or to which you don't have permission, will likely land you some unwanted attention.

Scanning servers is done all the time.
I don't even consider that unethiacal, since I look at the internet as a public place. As long as someone just looking at the window and not entering the shop.

Why sure it is. Nmap is a fine tool for finding network vulnerabilities and such.

Your ISP or network provider may not have such a liberal view.

It's also a great tool to find network problems, like traceroute or ping. Do you consider them also to be "bad" tools?

Of course not. I never said nmap was a "bad" tool. I said it was a "fine" tool. I use it frequently to audit my own servers.

If you scan servers that don't belong to you, eventually some admin that is paying attention will eventually get pissed off. Then they start sending emails to abuse. Then guess what... your network provider is sending emails to you.

The reason is that customer have an account at a competitor and I get no info aboutnwhat system they are running. To transfer the site to my own server, I have to know whether I can mak it cheap or whether maybe some more work is to do. Thatīs all.

I see some suspect more criminal intensions.
