No, I think it is entirely appropriate here. Thanks for posting, even though I was already familiar with SinFP. I took a look at it in March while Zhao Lei and I were working on a 2nd generation fingerprinting system for Nmap. It is a great little tool, though I dispute the web page statement that Nmap's "approach to OS fingerprinting is becoming to be obsolete" due to "stateful filtering devices, PAT/NAT configurations and emerging packet normalization technologies". I agree that those obstacles can be a challenge, but Nmap is pretty resilient to most of this. It has to be, given that people use it across just about every sort of network available. But I hope the new system will be even more powerful. I hope to release a paper very soon to nmap-dev documenting that upcoming system. We would of course appreciate your input.
