Tracking Operating System

Hi,

Is it possible to know the os running on a system(connected in LAN) if IP address is known?Let me know how to do it.

For example on local system we can know by System.getProperty("os.name").Like wise can we know for other system?

Regards,

Mansi

No, there are ways to try to guess, but it's quite complex and quite unreliable (even nmap rarely guesses the OS these days).
