Hi,

Thanks for replying.

No portscan logs et al were found in the log files. This is what amazes me.

I also think that Nmap could have been used. I tried to run Nmap on my IP. It did not detect much but for the BFTP server that I am running. Could this be the reason for the Windows OS detection?

And how can this FTP server detection be taken care of, since I myself saw NMAP detecting the FTP server running on my comp. Though Sygate does not ask for trusted IPs, however I tried NMap on Keiro also, but again the FTP server is being detected.

We have no idea who this person is, who ran the scans on our IPs. We just got an email from a yahoo address with the IP and OS information in it. I think its someone on the campus only who is trying to be a little mischievous. But still, the whole thing makes the adequacy and efficiency of a firewall questionable.

Thanks.
Bluzky.
