네트워크 핑만으로 운영체제 탐지 / Remote OS Detection Ping
네트웍 관리자라면 관리중인서버나 역추적(?)을 위해서 가끔NMAP 같은 스캐닝툴로 원격지서버를 스캔, 또 네트웍이상유무, 네크웍설정점검을 위해서 ping 을 사용하기도 한다. NMAP 사용중에 어떻게 O/S를 탐지하는 원리를 찾아보았다.
얼마전에 구글에서(인터넷의 모든정보는 구글에서 -_-; ) Ping 으로 O/S를 알수있다는 정보를 찾고 독일제사이트에서 발견한 글이다.
글내용일부중에 ping 만으로 O/S를 유추해낼수있다는 글을 보고 테스트해보았다.
물론 NMAP 처럼 정확하게 유추해낼순없지만. LINUX 계열 / Solaris / Cisco / MS Window 시스템정도의 구분의 확연히 가능했다.
단순하게 구분은 Ping 으로 확인시 TTL 값으로 찾는부분이다. 문서에서 발쵀한내용중 다음부분은 OS 별 TTL 값을 정리해놓은 자료이다.

정확하지 않은 정보이더라도 TTL 값이 운영체제별로 고유하다는 것만 알았으니.. 참고하길바랍니니다.

Remote OS Detection
Detecting OS (operating system) is another most important step towards hacking into a system. We can even say that after tracing the IP of the system it is the most prior thing that should be done to get the root on a system cause without having knowledge about the OS running by the target system you cannot execute any system commands on the target system and thus your mission wont be accomplished. In here I have figure out the basics of detecting OS remotely without having physical access to the system. There are various method of detecting OS like by trace routing the victim's IP , by pinging the IP , by using telnet and also by using a terminal. But from my research I have concluded that detecting OS through ping or tracerout is the most simplest but effective way of determining the operating system running in the remote computer without having physical access to the system. Since my aim of writing articles is to make things clear for beginners and intermediate so I will explain remote os detecting through ping method which is very easy to understand even for peoples totally new to computers.. yeah yeah.. I know you call them newbies..right ?? J J J
REMOTE OS DETECTION USING PING METHOD
What is PING and what is its utility ?
Ping is an MSDOS utility provided for windows version of DOS and for Unix and operating systems having UNIX as the core kernel. It runs in dos box in windows and directly in UNIX platform. In this manual I will give more stress on the MSDOS version of ping.
Ping is an utility used for sending and receiving packets of data to a target system using its IP and thus from the outputs you can figure out many information about the target system.
In remote os detection we are mainly concerned with the TTL values of the received data packets.
Note: When you send or receive a file over the internet it is not send at once. Instead it is broken down at the source system and these broken fragments of data know as data packets are send through the internet and these data packets are gathered together by the target system according to an algorithm constructed by the source system.
For example if I send a picture of size 400 KB to my girl friend (hey girls out there remember I don't yet have a gf in reality) then what actually happens is that my system breaks the data into data packets, say the file of 400 KB has been broken down into 4 data packets each having a size of 100 KB and having a name. These data packets are assigned a code known as the TTL value of the data packets by my operating system. Then these data packets are gathered and the original file is formed from these data packets at the target system.
Example:
C:\windows>ping/?
Usage: ping [-t] [-a] [-n count] [-l size] [-f] [-i TTL] [-v TOS]
[-r count] [-s count] [[-j host-list] | [-k host-list]]
[-w timeout] target_name
Options:
-t Ping the specified host until stopped.
To see statistics and continue - type Control-Break;
-a Resolve addresses to hostnames.
-n count Number of echo requests to send.
-l size Send buffer size.
-f Set Don't Fragment flag in packet.
-i TTL Time To Live.
-v TOS Type Of Service.
-r count Record route for count hops.
-s count Timestamp for count hops.
-j host-list Loose source route along host-list.
-k host-list Strict source route along host-list.
-w timeout Timeout in milliseconds to wait for each reply.
there are various switches available for ping. Above I have given a list of all the switches available in the DOS version of ping. Using the -t switch you can continuously ping a target until it is crashed down. I am sure you are probably wondering how will it crash down the remote system. The answer is quite simple. If you ping the remote system continuously then what happens is that slowly the RAM of the target system is overloaded with these stack data and compels the system to restart or crashes it. You can also use the -l switch to specify the amount of data packet to be send at a time.
But in this article I am not concerned with crashing down a remote system cause its not that easy as it seems to be, there are many other tricks for it and its not possible to crash down a system of present technology just by simple ping. I am concerned with the TTL values of the output that you will get after pinging a system. You can use -n switch with ping to specify the number of echo (ie data packets) to be send to the target system. The default number is 4.
Example:
C:\windows> ping -n 10 127.0.0.1
This command will ping 127.0.0.1 with 10 packets of data and after that will give you an output.
Now I think its time for a real example which I have executed on my system.
C:\windows>ping 127.0.0.1
Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Ping statistics for 127.0.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
Here I have pinged the IP 127.0.0.1 (offline ip of any system) with default ping. Here I am getting TTL value as 128. This is the thing what we need for remote os detection.
What is TTL value ?
TTL value is nothing but a simple code assigned to the out going data packets by the operating system of a computer. The TTL value assigned to the out going data packets depends on the operating system and it is the same for a particular operating system. As for example if you ping a system running windows 98 or earlier versions of windows NT with service packs (I don't know exactly about the TTL values of recent versions of Windows NT but from my research I think it's the same as previous versions cause the TTL value even in Windows XP is 128) you will get the TTL value as 128, thus from this TTL value you can easily say that the target system is running Microsoft Windows.
TTL values of commonly used Operating Systems

Windows 2000 Intel 128
DigitalUnix 4.0 Alpha 60

Solaris 2.x Intel/Sparc 255
Well these are not all. There are many more TTL values of many other operating systems. But generally most systems lies within this list.
Now lets try this manual practically and find out the operating system running by the IP 202.178.64.19.
C:\windows>ping 202.178.64.19
Pinging 202.178.64.19 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 202.178.64.19: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 202.178.64.19: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 202.178.64.19: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 202.178.64.19: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Ping statistics for 202.178.64.19:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
Well from the output you can figure out many informations. First 4 packets of data each of 32 bytes has been send to 202.178.64.19. In response the target system has responded with data packets of TTL value as 128.
Now we can easily say that the system 202.178.64.19 is running windows.
ERROR CORRECTION IN SOME CASES
There is a possibility of error in TTL values that you receive. Even though the source system send a TTL value of 128 you may receive the TTL value as 120. Well nothing to worry cause its due to the fact that routers reduce the TTL value by 1.
Don't worry I'll explain and made things much clearer for you.
It's a fact that some times routers may reduce the TTL value assigned to the data packets by the source OS by 1.
In that case you have to find out how many routers are there in between your system and the target system and then simply add the number of routers to the received TTL values and you will get the original TTL value.
To find out how many routers there are in between your system and the target system just perform a normal and simple tracert to that IP.
For more information about tracing an IP read my article 'TRACING IP" in http://hackersclub.focusindia.com
After tracing the IP using tracert tool of dos suppose you find that there are 10 routers between you and the target system then just simply add 10 to the TTL value that you have received and you will get the original TTL value.
And once you get the original TTL value then its as simple as changing girl friend to find out the operating system running by the remote computer. Just match the TTL value with the above chart and you will find out the operating system info.
Well dear readers, that's it for now. But I'll BE BACK with many more exciting and important articles.
