If you are running Microsoft IIS, install URLScan and read the
instructions.

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
