Hi,

I want mask my server so nobody knows what's my site is running. Is it IIS or apache? Windows or Unix?

There is lot of services where you could find that info, example http://news.netcraft.com/

Quering webwiz.net I get this information:
The site webwiz.net is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on Windows 2000

How to fake my server/os information? Does anybody know?

For extra security! Many hackers get wrong information and try to use wrong security holes.

response.addheader allows you to add or change a pages' header info that is sent to the browser. There are other ways of querying a site though. You'd be better off to ask this question in an IIS news group. With apache it's well documented, but don't know about IIS.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

There's nothing stopping people pinging your server to get the OS either...
