I've recently setup a new linux server with an ASMB9-iKVM motherboard with IPMI/BMC on our premises.Everything works great :-)
Today I've discovered that the BMC interface is listed on Windows 11 under the Network->Other devices (i'm a Linux user by trade, so don't usually have a Win-machine ready, which explains why it took me a while).What is listed is actually just the name/IP/mac of the device along with the manufacturer (+ homepage), the model (+ modelnumber) and a link to the "device website" (using http:// even though the device only listens on https://, so it's probably just a generic value)
Now I think that the system is pretty secure; however, I see no reason to to actually display the management device to all Windows users in my network:
- it is just noise for most
- for the rest it is an invitation to (try to) explore/hack the system
as a result i have tried disabling all network announcing services on the management interface that might be able to announce the device (like mDNS) - to no avail.
On my linux box i do not see the device, with either of the following:
- BonJour/ZeroConf (using
avahi-discover) - SSDP (using
wsdd) - uPNP (using
python3 -m netdisco)
So my question is: how do I find out which service (on the management interface) announces the device for service discovery?or put otherwise: which service discovery protocols are used by Windows to list ("other") "devices"?(and how can I discover the same devices on my Linux box, possibly using multiple different tools)
