Hmm, I think option D is the way to go. Telnet to an open port and grab the banner - that should give us some good clues about the OS.

I think John should also consider option A, connecting to the web server with a browser. Sometimes the web page can provide clues about the operating system being used.

I agree with Margart. Option D sounds like the best way to identify the OS on the remote web server. John should definitely give it a try.

I think John should try option D, telnet to an open port and grab the banner. It might give him more information about the operating system.
