Hi everyone,

as Honeyd now supports passive fingerprinting, it is possible to use
it for generating the Operating System Distribution of hosts scanning
the Internet randomly.  The main page at

  http://www.honeyd.org/

has a top list of operating systems seen randomly scanning the Internet.
It should come as no surprise that Windows hosts are at the top of that
list.

Niels.
