Hi, Here's a summary of interesting changes from the latest round of 563 OS submissions and 31 corrections from October 27 to December 8. First some aggregate statistics. Line count went from 29286 to 31569 (+2283, +8%). Fingerprint count went from 1635 to 1761 (+126, +8%). New vendors: Brocade, Decru, Netgem, Patton, Quarterdeck, Revo, WAGO, Western Digital, WowWee. Removed vendors: WebVOIZE, Westell. (WebVOIZE was subsumed into an embedded Linux print. Westell was just commented out in a print that has many classes; I left only the most popular ones.) New device types: proxy server (13). Removed device types: web proxy (10). (I changed the specific "web proxy" to the more general "proxy server" to encompass a new new prints.) Here are interesting or noteworthy new prints. Apple Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.5.6 (Leopard) (Darwin 9.0.0 - 9.6.0) 10.5.6 was released in December. uClinux 2.4.19-uc1 (ARM) It's great when someone finds out the name of an embedded operating system and the print can be more specific than "embedded." WAP: Airnet AWR014G; D-Link DI-524, DI-604, DI-624, or WBR-2310; or TRENDnet TEW-432BRP or TEW-452BRP (ThreadX) A submitter dug through the firmware of one of these WAPs to find that it runs ThreadX. That's dedication for you, and one less "embedded" for everyone. I assumed that the other WAPs already on the list run the same OS. http://rtos.com/page/product.php?id=2 Linux 2.6.17 - 2.6.28 2.6.28 was released in December. This release puts TCP options back the way they were in 2.6.26 (see http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q4/0471.html). WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 automation system I called this an "automation system" with device type "specialized," but I'm still not sure exactly what it does. http://www.wago.us/products/337.htm Sony FWD-40LX2F display card This is a display card built into TVs and monitors. http://b2b.sony.com/Solutions/product/FWD40LX2F/B Quarterdeck DESQview/X 2.10 This is a multitasking program running on top of DOS. The first version of DESQview predated even Windows but I couldn't find a date for DESQview/X, which includes an X server. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview Planet VIP-154T VoIP phone (MicroC/OS-II) An embedded real-time OS. So far this phone is the only thing in the database it's known to run on. http://www.micrium.com/products/rtos/kernel/rtos.html Cisco CRS-1 router (IOS XR 3.4.1 - 3.6.2) IOS XR is the successor to IOS but has a quite different fingerprint. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5845/index.html Microsoft Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs (XP Embedded derivative) Microsoft sells a stripped-down OS for businesses whose older hardware can't run XP but don't want to run earlier (unsupported) versions of Windows. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/sa/benefits/fundamentals.mspx WowWee Rovio mobile webcam Some kind of weird webcam on wheels. http://wowwee.com/en/products/tech/household/rovio David Fifield _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
