Linux isn't Windows. So at least in some cases, while there are ways to get the information, Linux doesn't spray the network constantly with sensitive information like Windows does. In particular, what a host calls itself isn't necessarily easy. At best you can do IP to DNS name correlation, but that's really outside of the host itself.

For the rest, e.g. port scanning and service information...

nmap is your friend.

rpc.sprayd(1M)						  System Administration Commands					    rpc.sprayd(1M)

NAME
rpc.sprayd, sprayd - spray server SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/netsvc/spray/rpc.sprayd DESCRIPTION
rpc.sprayd is a server that records the packets sent by spray(1M). The rpc.sprayd daemon may be started by inetd(1M) or listen(1M). The service provided by rpc.sprayd is not useful as a networking benchmark as it uses unreliable connectionless transports, (udp for exam- ple). It can report a large number of packets dropped when the drops were caused by the program sending packets faster than they can be buffered locally (before the packets get to the network medium). ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWrcmds | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO

The rpc.sprayd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier: svc:/network/rpc/spray:default Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil- ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config- uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command. SunOS 5.11 4 Nov 2004 rpc.sprayd(1M)
