AMAP

Amap has been designed to correlate the applications that are running on a specific port or ports residing on a host. Amap does this by connecting to the port ( s ) and sending packets that will hopefully trigger an automatic response in reply. These packets typically encompass a standard attempt by an application to carry out a handshake between both hosts. A lot of network daemons only respond to when a connection is attempted utilising an appropriate handshake (i.e. SSL). Amap then correlates this response with its in-built library and verbosely prints to screen.
