knoppix.com

has anyone else noticed or is it just me?

knoppix.com runs on iis6...

i didnt belive it at first but after some testing im 99% sure its running on iis6.


banner inspection seems to point that its iis6 as it gives the exact same response to a GET / HTTP/1.1 request with no hostname as microsoft.com does(ie hiding server).

but really what i want to know is why?

why is knoppix.com hosted on a windows box rather then a linux box?

Does look like it's iis6: http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_rep...ww.knoppix.com

Funny; it looks like you're right, as confirmed by Netcraft....

knoppix.com is using MS IIS6 but is only as a redirector to knopper.net http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_rep...ww.knopper.net

Using 2 PCs, Knoppix, a hub, ethereal & lynx, I sniffed the http stream when connecting to http://knoppix.com and got this:

<html><head>

<title></title></head>

<frameset rows='100%, *' frameborder=no framespacing=0 border=0>
<frame src="http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html" name=mainwindow frameborder=no framespacing=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0></frame>

Thanks. Didn't think about that.

You can also get that by choosing "view - page source" in a browser.

i dont get why knopper doesnt just point knoppix.com to his ip....
its easyer to buy a domain name then to rent web space on a server i would of guessed.

[UnderScore]

I thought the same thing.

Maybe he bought it off of someone else. Maybe someone else bought it & offered it to him & maybe the html redirector is the quick & dirty way of getting it done.

knopper doesn't own knoppix.com
