Analysis of System's Applications
This section provides a report detailing any Internet services that may be running on the target computer being traced.
The type of applications running on a target system is useful information as it can provide insight into the ownership and geographical location of the target. The most common applications on the Internet are web servers (websites, HTTP), mail servers (email, SMTP) and file transfer servers (file downloads, FTP). As an example, web server applications (such as www.visualware.com) are particularly useful because web pages along the lines of ‘contact us' often exist to provide details such as names, phone numbers and other contact related information. |
