All you need to do is send me a list of hosts whose OS is known to you and that I can have permission to scan. Brandon Enright already sent me a few hosts, which I used for the nmap-os tests. I'm looking for up to five hosts per person, along with their winver/uname/version information, which you can send to me in the form
I just want to second this request, as it is indeed extremely useful for our testing. We want to be sure that we have a sufficient sample size before we go making major changes such as removing seemingly-unreliable tests! While we could probably get hundreds of hosts from folks like Brandon who run huge networks, we'd prefer to get a small number from many people. That ensure that a much more diverse set of routers and other devices along the network paths are represented. So if you have five Internet-connected machines as part of your home network or work or whatever, and you know exactly what is running on them, please send those IPs and descriptions to David. Even if you just have one IP, such as for a shell account or web server you run, please send it along.
