ibook G4 12 inch running mac os 10.4 with: 60 gb HD+256 mb ram+Radeon 9200
So I was doing an nmap scan on my network and I noticed this in the os report about my airport extreme:

Running: FreeBSD 4.X|5.X, UTStarcom embedded
OS details: FreeBSD 4.9 - 5.1, UTStarcom F1000 wifi voip phone

I know most of you probably already knew that but I was wondering if its possible to hack the airport (I noticed some open ports) and find out more about the version of FreeBSD it runs? I'm sorry if this is illegal, though I don't see how it could be since it is MY airport extreme.

i dont see how hacking a hardware piece that you OWN would be illegal, all it would do would be void the warranty. sorry i cant help, just wnated to address that concern of yours
