What steps can be used to prevent "OS Banner Grabbing" by the client? Also,
what is the best method or "attack" to get to a banner on MS and non MS
Operating Systems?


You can do banner grabbing or OS finger printing(according to
discussion going on here) in two ways.
active and passive.
Active OS fingerprinting is risky but more reliable then passive and vice versa.
You can have a look in irongeek's passive OS fingerprintig video. its
pretty good.
