Or
lynx http://www.istop.com/
and press the '=' key for similar info. Or echo the HEAD request
to a program that opens a TCP socket. Or go to www.netcraft.com.
Of course, firewalls munching on TCP/IP can screw up IP stack
fingerprinting, causing nmap et al. to report "IIS on <favorite
*ix flavor>" when it really means "IIS on ??? behind firewall
running <favorite *ix flavor>".
I wonder how many people enjoy recompiling their *ix httpd to
report itself as IIS? Watch for requests matching certain IDS
strings... what was that again about mad fast honeypots? ;-)
