Not only will this utility detect more Back Orifice 2000 server variants (and plugins / related programs), but it also has server analysis built into it, allowing you to view the configuration of the BO2K server. Simply point to the drive, directory or file you want to scan, and let the BO2K Server Sniper do the rest.'
