Port scanning is a real and established thing that anyone who is even thinking of security has known about normally for decades, but port scans don't tell everyone what your whole stack consists of. Maybe you'd like to share why sharing your stack with everyone is a good idea? I'd really like to know. Thank you.
- Quekid5 7y agoDo you think that fingerprinting is quantitatively different from port scanning? My main point was just that a port scan can immediately identify the 0.1% (or whatever) of the Internet that you're interested in and then try more "invasive" probing. (I should add that I forgot to mention that IpV6 does make the whole "PortScan the Internet" business a tad more complicated, so that's than argument against me.)
