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.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
