I just would like topoint out that to determine a service on a port it is not enough just to complete a full TCP hand-shake and Telnet to it if there is a response.
I think the main focus of the comments were to determine which of two tools were right about whether or not a port was in fact open, and not anything beyond that. I think you're right about testing HTTP with HTTP interactions, etc, but the scope here was just figuring out if there was an open port.
I think that's why you got the response you did from the list. -- Daniel R. Miessler M: daniel () dmiessler com W: http://dmiessler.com G: 0x316BC712
