In the nmap-service-probes file this class is indicated by a +lack of a +d//<indexterm><primary><literal>d//</literal> (device type) version detection field</primary></indexterm> +field. + +bridge (15) +A bridge combines two or more subnetworks into one. With a bridge this +happens at a lower level than with a router. This category also includes +things like Ethernet-to-serial bridges. + +broadband router (241) +Devices in this category connect a network to the Internet via cable, +ADSL, fiber optics, etc. Some of these devices provide network address +translation, a firewall, port forwarding, or other services. + +firewall (128) +A firewall controls what traffic is allowed into or out of a network. +Some also have additional capabilities. This category doesn't include +general-purpose operating systems that happen to come with a firewall, +but it does include OS distributions purpose-built to work only as a +firewall. + +game console (16) +A video game console like the Xbox or PlayStation. + +hub (1) +A hub joins network segments by re-broadcasting all traffic. Hubs are +distinct from switches, which selectively transmit packets only to +relevant destinations. + +load balancer (17) +A device that distributes inbound traffic to multiple devices to ease +the load on those devices. + +media device (150) +This category includes all kinds of audiovisual equipment, including +portable music players, home audio systems, TVs, and projectors. + +PBX (21) +A private branch exchange, or PBX, routes telephone calls within a +private organization and connects them to the public telephone network +or VoIP. + +PDA (12) +A handheld computer. Devices that are also telephones go in the "phone" +category. + +phone (22) +A network-capable telephone that is not a VoIP phone. Devices in this +category are typically mobile phones. + +power-device (45) +Miscellaneous power devices like uninterruptable power supplies and +surge protectors. + +printer (371) +Network-enabled printers, including printers with an embedded print +server. + +print server (100) +A print server connects a printer to a network. Printers that contain +their own print server go in the "printer" category instead. + +proxy server (13) +Any kind of proxy, including web proxies and other servers that cache +data or understand high-level protocols. + +remote managment (51) +Devices that allow servers or other equipment to be monitored or managed +remotely. + +router (310) +Routers connect multiple networks. They are distinct from hubs and +switches because they route packets between different networks as +opposed to extending one network. + +security-misc (43) +Any security device that doesn't fall into the "firewall" category +belongs in this category. This includes intrusion detection and +prevention systems. + +specialized (108) +The catch-all category. If a device doesn't fall into one of the other +categories, it is specialized. Examples in this category are diverse and +include such things as clocks, oscilloscopes, climate sensors, and more. + +storage-misc (101) +Data storage devices like tape decks and network-attached storage +appliances. + +switch (274) +A device that extends a network by selectively re-broadcasting packets. +Switches are distinct from hubs, which broadcast all packets. + +telecom-misc (24) +Devices used by telephone systems that aren't PBXs, like voicemail and +ISDN systems. + +terminal (9) +A device with a keyboard and monitor with the primary purpose of +communicating directly with a terminal server or mainframe. + +terminal server (24) +A device providing terminal facilities to clients over a network. + +VoIP adapter (52) +A device that converts between voice over IP (VoIP) protocols and normal +telephone traffic. Also may convert different VoIP protocols. + +VoIP phone (81) +A phone capable of a VoIP protocol. + +WAP (298) +Wireless access points offer a wireless connection to a network. Most +work with radio technology like 802.11b but some use infra-red or +something else. Devices that could also be put in another category, like +wireless broadband routers, are put in the WAP category because WAPs +require special network considerations. + +webcam (100) +Any kind of camera that stores or transmits pictures or video. This +includes everything from consumer webcams to security system cameras. + +---- + +Proposed changes + +Move X-ray machine (2) to specialized. + +Move cluster (3) to specialized. + +Move projector (3) to media device. I didn't find any projectors miscategorized +as "specialized" -David. + +Move encryption accelerator (6) to proxy server. + +Move web server (2) to general purpose or specialized. + +Put Ethernet-serial bridges in the "bridge" category. + +Put the http-proxy matches in nmap-service-probes into the "proxy +server" category if they are from a dedicated proxy device. Some of them +are "security-misc" currently. + +Merge VoIP gateway into VoIP adapter. |
