Well, first off, I am guessing you are trying to access the machine without the owners permission - and FD does *NOT* support, endorse, or condone unauthorized "hacking"... But, as for an answer to your question, there are two possible answers that pop to mind... 1) the IP address you are hitting is actually some sort of load balancing server, and so while one request might go to the BSD machine, another request might go to the win2k3 machine... 2) or, more likely, it is a win2k3 box running some form of VirtualPC or VMWare with FreeBSD as the client OS (or vice versa)... just an idea, but... this is a lot like what I would do if I wanted to set up a honeypot *grin*.

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] A FreeBSD server that is converted in
a MS 2003 Server... and viceversa
Hi all... I have a problem that I can't understand... lets see
if you guys
can help me with it.
I have access to a FreeBSD server, I accessed and look a little.
The problem
is when sometimes I have not access anymore, and its because the
server is
not a FreeBSD, is a MS 2003 Server... :(
I mean, the server looks not to be the same, and the user/pass
that I got
before, dont work anymore. And then nmap tells that is a FreeBSD
server, and
I can access like before. But then I can't access, and nmap
tells that is a
MS 2003 Server.
This server is aparently a hosting server, I saw many webpages
in there... and
I supose it has static IP. But this problem happening many times
already.
Anyone can tell me why is happening that? is this a extrange
technique of
security? I mean... is more easy patch the server, is full of
holes... :)
Anyway... sorry but my english is very bad. Thanks a lot.
