Doesn't Netcraft check the version string provided by your webserver? If you're using apache, try /usr/sbin/httpd -L and look for this line: ServerTokens (http_core.c) Determine tokens displayed in the Server: header - Min(imal), OS or Full Allowed in *.conf only outside <Directory>, <Files> or <Location> happy faking!

I have adjusted every HTTP header I can find. I've hacked my initial tcp sequence number generator in my kernel. I've changed my tcp window size, the default ttl of my ip packets, and everything else I can think of. I still cannot convince Netcraft that I'm something I'm not. If anyone has any idea how Netcraft determines the operating system, I would be *thrilled* to hear about it. I've changed everything I know to change and still can't figure it out.
