Hi Listers,

This is a bit off topic, but i thought I would share the funny results I got
back from an Internal Network Scan I performed earlier today... ( Note the
'on the internal network' -> I was looking for internal security holes)

The scan performed an OS detection as part of its audit of the network.. and
this is what is returned for my bering box (*confused look*)

[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]
NETBIOS/SMB is not enabled on this computer.
Resolving XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX...

UDP scanning thread started ...
TCP scanning started ...
2 open port(s).
Gathering banners ... 80 - Trying to determine web server type
Server : Microsoft-IIS/5.0 <--------------------| What the??
Operating System : Windows 2000 <----------------|


Has anyone seen similar results in scans performed? ( f.y.i: I used GFI
LANguard http://www.gfisoftware.com/lannetscan/ )

That's pretty funny. The shell webserver I extended for use with LEAF dutifully reports it's identity in the headers:


<code snippit from sh-httpd>

VERSION=0.4.1
NAME="ShellHTTPD"

print_header() {
        echo -e "HTTP/1.0 $1\r"
        echo -e "Server: $NAME/$VERSION\r"
        echo -e "Date: $REQ_DATE\r"
        echo -e "Connection: close\r"
}

</code>

While you could easily change the server name and version to IIS, I don't think this was done by deafult for Bering.

I suspect your network scanner is confused by non-windows systems. I suggest you try some linux based tools for serious scanning capabilities.
