hi there I agree with Zdmja, NMAP do about 7 tcp port test, 1 udp port test and 1 tcp seq num test. One could not only change TTL to cheat NMAP. I am not exactly know what you intend to do. If you want NMAP false positive report your OS, you could start a firewall. If you want to do other thing, tell me. 2006/3/13, Bojan Zdrnja <bojan.zdrnja () gmail com>:

A simple example would be to changing the TTL value from the default windows 128 to 64 through the registry.It's not that simple. Nmap will do multiple tests on the machine. Find the file nmap-os-fingerprints on your system - it contains description of test results that match every OS nmap can guess. What you have to do is make your Linux machine give back results so they match with some other system.
