it’s been a while since i ran nmap on windows. i like the gui util that it comes with – “zenmap”. i played around scanning various devices on my network. particularly, my linksys wet54gs5 wireless workgroup bridge. it’s one of the few devices i have that i wasn’t sure what the OS was. knowing linksys/cisco i figured it would be vxworks or linux. it is indeed linux as the details below prove:

MAC Address: 00:12:17:C8:26:A3 (Cisco-Linksys)
Device type: general purpose
Running: Linux 2.4.X
OS details: Linux 2.4.18 – 2.4.32 (likely embedded)
Uptime: 0.015 days (since Fri Jul 11 14:13:49 2008)
Network Distance: 1 hop

there’s no real community around this device and linksys has abandoned it as well. i still find it useful though 🙂 however, it only supports WPA1 and not WPA2 🙁

planning on putting the unslung firmware on my nslu2 today. details will follow…
