Attached is an update to icmp_timestamp.nasl. This to includes details of the time on the remote system, and a guess of the system type. Unix systems send the most significant byte of the time first. Windows systems send the most significant byte of the time last. Cisco systems send the most significant byte first, but set the first bit. The most significant byte cannot exceed 0x05. The script could get the format wrong if the remote systems is Windows and the first (least significant byte) happens to be 0x05 or lower or if it has just the top bit set. The solution would be to query the system twice and look for the difference. -- Dennis Jackson Senior Security Consultant Peapod Consulting Telephone: +44 (0)20 8606 9990 Email: Dennis.Jackson@private Web: www.peapod.co.uk/consulting Peapod Consulting is a unit of Peapod (UK) Limited at Lindbergh House, Navigator Park, Southall Lane, Southall, Middlesex, UB2 5NH This email and any attachments are intended solely for the recipient or entity to which they are addressed and may be of a confidential nature.
