I had been long wondering how are these subsitute batteries that you can find all around the web and why there are so cheap compared to the laptop constructor ones.
I was affraid about the quality, the design and even the safety.
I often buy substitute ink for my printer, but that is not exactly the same kind of thing nor the same price.
I usually avoid using Webmin, but I had to set it up for a company I worked for.
The guys there were not familiar with Linux and they needed an interface to keep configuring the Postfix server I settled (with Spamassassin as an antispam and Amavis as content filtering).
I had to face a problem while I was trying to get the Postfix Webmin module working.
Here is the update of my previous test of SinFP.
I compared then the output of SinFP and Nmap on different machines, and found out that SinFP made a slightly better job than Nmap in OS detection, though it is not the primary goal of Nmap whereas it is the one of SinFP.
However, I made a mistake that the author of SinFP made me aware of.
I conducted the tests of Nmap using the package of my distribution, thinking it was the latest one.
Actually, it was only the version 4.10. Moreover, the current version, 4.20, brought up a new OS detection engine.
Therefore, a new test with version 4.20 was absolutely needed.
Last week, I found out a very interesting program, SinFP (those who are french and read the Misc magazine must already know ;) ).
Its goal is to help you detecting what operating system a remote machine is running.
Well, you will tell me that we already have many programs that does this job, starting from the so famous nmap… but the approach is quite different this time.
