    . The windows size is 65502 but changes for every packet. So this is probably a windows machine based on the fact that it changes.This is not a reliable method because it can be changed by a program rather than the os.
    Window size can change based on network congestion (sender based flow control IE: congestion window which is not advertised. Look into "slow start" or "congestion avoidance" in TCP/IP) or the buffer space of the designation (receiver based flow control which is advertised). This is true for all network clients , but you can make guesses as to what an OS is by it's starting advertised window size.



    5. The protocol id is 06 (TCP/IP). Where can i find a listing of the protocol id#'s?
    http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers


    Its IPv4 with 20 bytes apiece for TCP/IP
    No, that field states the IP header length period.


    8. The next word is 18 which comes to 24 in decimal. I think this means that the urgent flag and ack flags are set but I am not really sure.
    Convert to binary and do a bit placement comparison.



    Have fun

    So, Don are you ever going to tell us what the packet capture was all about or is this thread just going to die on the vine like the other one?

    Ping Companion is a network security tool designed to accompany Ping in its scanning processes. It retrieves IPs, writable directories, and OS types from Ping's log and then checks their upload access, upload speed, download access, download speed, list access, delete access, FXP access, FXP speed, and available hard drive space using a file called space.asp. Use this program to ensure that your network is secure.

    That's part of Grim (Ping Companion ) features, so I win unless you can prove you didn't read my post or we're both wrong.

    This is indeed Grim's Ping doing it's work. Sorry for the lack of responses. I have given up
    on this site due to the plethora of idiots who inhabit this space ie: TheFiend amongst others.
    The people who populate this site need to learn there is a world of difference between those
    who actually hack and the scipt kiddie idiots, and the wannabe's that compose the vast majority of this sites membership. So that rant is over and cause of that will take myself elsewhere. I don't need the aggravation.

    I know the feeling. I too joined the site looking to interact with more security pros, but instead find the site filled with students ( nothing wrong with this I'm just not in the teaching mode if you know what I mean) and wannbe hackers/crackers (most of whom don't seem to have a clue otherwise I wouldn't mind conversing with 'em).

    Not exactly what I was hoping for.
