Fun story from service fingerprint integration

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Hey all,

So I was busily working through the service fingerprint submissions when I
came across a previously-unrecorded web server. On an Intelbras home router
in Brazil, a lightweight TLS implentation called axTLS is being used along
with its embedded web server, axhttpd. When I add service fingerprints, I
always search for the author or vendor of the software to make a CPE entry.
While checking out the Contact Us page [1], I recognized a name from Nmap's
history: Doug Hoyte [2].

The committers file says Doug "has his handiwork throughout the Nmap
codebase. He has worked on almost every subsystem." I know of him primarily
through his work with service fingerprint integration, so this was a fun
meta-loop.
