This tutorial shows how an attacker can perform a Topology disclosure attack on the Internet. Topology disclosure is an attack to discover how networked devices are connected and  which systems act as servers. Topology disclosure can not only be used to find open ports, but also to discover which operating system and versions are installed on specific systems. A good tool to discover this is nmap.
