Subject: Preventing OS Detection
If I go to http://uptime.netcraft.com and enter my website, Netcraft
will
display my web servers OS, determined from the TCP/IP packet. Is there a
way
in the windows registry to prevent Netcraft (or anyone else) from
identifying my OS? On the page http://www.webhostgear.com/36,1.html in
paragraph titled "Netcraft is Watching", it briefly describes that
registry
changes can be made. Can someone please give me some specific registry
changes to prevent others from identifying my web servers OS?
Thanks,
Paul Kurczaba
