Remote OS detection via TCP/IP Stack FingerPrintingAdded by Papergrl
Description:
While Nmap has supported OS detection since 1998, this article describes the 2nd generation system which debuted in 2006. When exploring a network for security auditing or inventory/administration, you usually want to know more than the bare IP addresses of identified machines. Your reaction to discovering a printer may be very different than to finding a router, wireless access point, telephone PBX, game console, Windows desktop, or UNIX server. Finer grained detection (such as distinguishing Mac OS X 10.4 from 10.3) is useful for determining vulnerability to specific flaws and for tailoring effective exploits for those vulnerabilities.
