Re: Strange response from network

try running nc in verbose mode instead of stunnel and then send the get request.

The get request also has more options which you can use...I think
instead of relying on tools..manual techniques give you a much better
output which you can rely on....

There are certain cases where Nmap detected 2003 as Linux also..so
dont trust blindly..

and try to connect to that port using browser also..and see whts
happening..which can give you some more inputs or ideas..

Cheers
