Hi Guys, So, two questions: first, is there a version of p0f that runs under Windows? I found the Unix version and I found a Windows-port version that is not compiled (and I haven't used a real compiler in at least ten years). Second question: what's the popular recommendation for DNS TTL nowaday

Hi Sandy, Thanks for the info on TTL. We don't change very often and we're pretty low volume, so 4 hours would be fine. The link you provide is what I found before: it's a Windows port but it's uncompiled. Lacking a compiler, I was looking for something precompiled. Thanks, Ben -Original
