From an IP address, can I tell what OS is running ?
Case in point, AT&T DNS server IP addresses - do they have a virus ?
Thanks, Duaine
You can't tell from the value of the IP address itself, but you can attempt OS detection by running
nmap -O IP.ad.dr.ess
as root in a terminal window. That, however, won't tell you anything about whether they have a virus.
