Just a clarification on NeVO ...

NeVO does do passive OS fingerprinting with p0f2 fingerprints, but
that's only one of the checks it does, and the OS it finds has nothing
to do with the vulnerabilities it finds. For a vulnerability to ping
in NeVO, we really need to see evidence of it on the wire. We've built
a similar detection engine into NeVO as with Nessus. For example it
can detect an anonymous ftp server running on a high port.
