QOTD

QOTD

The Quote Of The Day (QOTD) service is an Internet protocol defined in RFC 865. It is intended for testing and measurement purposes.

A host may connect to a server that supports the QOTD protocol, on either TCP or UDP port 17. The server then returns a short arbitrary message. This was traditionally a random selection from a list of notable quotes.

The QOTD service is rarely enabled, and is in any case often firewalled to avoid 'pingpong' attacks ( [http://www.securityspace.com/de/smysecure/catid.html?id=10198 www.securityspace.com] ).

Current testing and measurement of IP networks is more commonly done with ping and traceroute.
