Wait, you guys are forgetting the most important step - checking the web page for hidden comments! There's always juicy info in those source code comments.

Haha, definitely not option C. Telnet to port 8080? That's just asking for trouble. I'll stick with the good old banner grab, thank you very much.

I was thinking the same thing! Grabbing the banner is a classic technique for identifying the OS. Much more reliable than just looking at the web page.

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.
