nmap can return enough informatin to surmize that. It may even be
able to tell you straight out. I'm not that familiar with all its
switches.
Running nmap -v -P0 host will give you enough to make a good guess.
So maybe parsing nmap output can be done programmatically.
There is... in the August issue of SysAdmin, there was an article on how
to write a PERL frontend for NMAP... it was pretty cool and pretty easy
(for the simple stuff). The article name is "Vulnerability Assessments
with NMAP & Nessus".
I know the code you can find online, and maybe by now you can find the
article itself.
