Can I read IDENTD with CF ?
Hi Gang Just a little security type question .. was wondering if its possible to grab the ident@ip from a user logging onto a webpage. I can get the ip .. i just need the ident part. I know i need to send a ident request to port 113 (identd) but i was just wondering if anything exists to do this (CFX / custom tag / trained monkey). Would be greatful for any help on the matter.

Re: Can I read IDENTD with CF ?
I don't know that I'd expect to get an identd response from the ip address from an http request... I know that IRC clients (mIRC) have configuration options to enable and disable identd repsonses which gives me the impression they have an internal identd client to listen and send on that port, which a browser likely wouldn't have. So the odds are good that you'd only get an identd response if they happened to have something like mIRC running at the time they hit the page and likely only if they weren't yet connected to an IRC server (because at least mIRC disables identd after connecting by default)... Beyond that, you'd probably need a cfx tag written in C++ or Java in order to send the request and get the response, though I'm not aware of any for identd.

Re: Can I read IDENTD with CF ?
I found that 'fsockopen' in PHP does what i need .. ie fsockopen ($ip,113, &$errno, &$errstr, 10); Does anyone know if there is a tool similar to this for ColdFusion ?
