Xprobe V2.0: A "Fuzzy" Approach to Remote Active Operating System Fingerprinting

Tags:
network operating systems

Overview The tools used today for remote active operating system fingerprinting use a signature database to perform a match between the results they receive from a targeted machine and known operating system fingerprints. Usually, the process is done by utilizing strict signature matching to identify the type of the remote operating system. The operating system fingerprinting tools that rely on strict signature matching face several problems with their way of operation, which when present lead to false identification of the target operating system(s). This paper presents a different approach to signature matching with remote active operating system fingerprinting.
