There's just one problem with the theory here guys -- Reverse DNS of www.microsoft.com is showing "unknown.Level3.net" hence they are having Level3 filter traffic for them, they might even be co-located at Level3's facilities. I presume that you all know who Level3 communications is? (www.level3.net) Also I would assume that for load balancing purposes, that DNS entries are round-robining to at least two different hosts. So, keep probing! -----Original Message----- From: Fyodor [mailto:fyodor () insecure org] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 4:23 PM To: nmap () rugh org Cc: nmap-dev () insecure org Subject: Re: Microsoft Is Using Linux To Protect Its Own Web Site - hehe On Thu, Aug 21, 2003 at 10:28:14AM -0700, Dave Rugh wrote:
Hi Fyodor, Can I prove out the story below using NMAP? If I can, what params

have used? The params I used, and the results (via NMAPWIN) are below)
[ Cut story from http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/cmp/13100775 on Microsoft using Linux ] Yes, you can. The problem is that you are using a year-old version of Nmap. Download 3.30 Windows .zip binaries instead of Nmapwin. It should show the same (pleasing) results as this: nmap -sS -O -p80,81 www.microsoft.com Starting nmap 3.40PVT10 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2003-08-21 13:15 PDT Interesting ports on unknown.Level3.net (166.90.133.198): PORT STATE SERVICE 80/tcp open http 81/tcp closed hosts2-ns Device type: general purpose Running: Linux 2.5.X OS details: Linux Kernel 2.4.18 - 2.5.70 (X86) Uptime 8.740 days (since Tue Aug 12 19:30:43 2003) Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 5.782 seconds Cheers, Fyodor PS: The above is a test version of Nmap that I hope to release in the next week, but 3.30 gives the same OS detection results. PPS: I copied this resposne to nmap-dev, 'cause I think it is interesting to see www.microsoft.com served by a Linux machine, even if there is a good explanation (using Akamai). --------------------------------------------------------------------- For help using this (nmap-dev) mailing list, send a blank email to nmap-dev-help () insecure org .
