I think nmap uses the tcp packet sequence number to determine the uptime of the remote machine... why don't you want people to get your uptime? Stou ----- Original Message ----- From: Florian Effenberger Sent: 12/25/2002 11:20:05 AM To: nmap-dev () insecure org Subject: querying uptime
Hi everyone, I have a question which I hope you can help me to answer. ;-) nmap can query the uptime of a host, even if all time services are disabled. I have been googling around a bit, but didn't find anything on that topic, so maybe you can help me. Is there any possibility of disabling the uptime query on Linux and *BSD boxes? I don't want anyone to get my uptime...
