RE: Determining Operating System or Hardware via the Internet

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the responses.  I wasn't clear in what I was trying to do.  I
would like to know if there is some way that I can tell what OS or hardware
a website is running on if all I know is the URL or the IP address.  Maybe a
command like TRACERT or PING or something?  Or a port scanner possibly?   

I'm just trying to guess what some websites are using as a web server.  It's
not that important, really.  It just occurred to me to wonder what places
like Ebay and YAHOO were using for OS software and computing hardware. 

Thanks, 


Shannon O'Donnell

Shannon,

If you have an SNMP manager up and running in your network, setup the SNMP
agent on the iSeries and poll the following MIB strings:

system.sysDescr.0 = IBM OS/400 V4R4M0
system.sysName.0 = SYSTEM.NAME.COM

The entry after the '=' is what the iSeries returns for the MIB string
(before the '=' sign) it processed.  If your have access to Linux you can
test/poll the iSeries with the SNMPWALK command. 

As for the hardware, the only thing I am aware of that you could use is the
four digit number stored in the system value QPRCFEAT.  This will return the
four digit number assigned for the interactive feature code you have on the
system.

Is there a command I can run to identify the operating system, hardware or
both of a URL or an IP address?

Thanks
