1/20    If you know a person's IP address at which they're connected to
        the Internet, is there some sort of way to find out what kind of
        computer system they're using?
        \_ newest release of nmap will do this reasonably well by
           examing differences in tcp/ip stack.  There is another
           prog called queso that does this as well.  See also
           latest issue of phrack if you care about implementation
           details.  --sky
           \_ of course there's like a 90% chance they're running some wintel
              machine, so you could skip all that and try the wintel hacks
              to see what works.
              \_ esp. since nmap/queso can't distinguish btwn 95/98/NT...
                 \_ actually, 95 has fucked up timestamps.  Its about
                    the only way to distinguish btwn 95/NT -sky
           \_ Are nmap or queso installed on soda anywhere?
              \_ I doubt it...and even if it was, it uses raw ip
                 so you are not 31337 enough to run it. -sky
                 \_ ~sky/bin, but you can't execute them
        \_ BTW, how come "nslookup -q=hinfo <ip addr>" doesn't work?
                \_ maybe the dns admin didn't bother putting in the information
                   there?  I dont know of many how do that any more. Its a
                   minor security risk.
                \_ Lotsa dns admins don't even know about it.
                   \_ Some even fake the data there.
                        \_ GASP!  Fake data on the net?!  Heavens, no!
                           \_ the net is always right. Your perception of
                              reality is wrong
                                \_ Adam?  I thought you went to M$ and became
                                   a borg.
                                   \_ once again, your perception of reality
                                     is wrong. -- notAdam
