The students will be probably not be using more than basic scanning
and I'm going to do the application level faking with things like web
servers pretending to be IIS so all I need is the OS level changes
that I'd need to make. Anyone got any tips on this?

Robin,

Setting your default TTL (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl) to 128 will
make it look enough like windows that Nmap is completely confused and fails
to give an OS match. With --osscan-guess, though, it shows 96% correct match
for Linux 2.6.32-3.6.

I tried tracking down other tuning values that could improve the "fakeness"
here, but nothing came close. Chances are that your students will not bother
with --osscan-guess, and this will be sufficient to preserve the illusion.

Dan

I'll give it a try but ideally I want it to come back with Windows
version Blah for some boxes.
