Service

Just a reminder of what the nmap scan returned about Apache Tomcat and Coyote:

10.0.0.27  8180  tcp    http         open   Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1

JSP stands for JavaServer Pages. All this means is, web pages accessed through port 8180 will be assembled by a Java web application.

What is tomcat

Apache Tomcat provides software to run Java applets in the browser. The nmap scan didn't return the version, so that's probably the first thing we'll want to figure out.

What is coyote

Coyote is a stand-alone web server that provides servlets to Tomcat applets. That is, it functions like the Apache web server, but for JavaServer Pages (JSP).

From the description of Coyote on the Tomcat page [1], it sounds like this server will be as susceptible to denial of service attacks as the Apache web server was.
