Re: Regarding the project "Machine Learning in Networking"

Hi Divesh,


There is a paper we wrote about using ML for OS detection (in IPv6), you 
can find it here: https://www.bamsoftware.com/papers/ipv6-os.pdf

This will give you a good idea on the first steps we took.

For the latest work, I think the email-thread "Request for Comments: New 
IPv6 OS detection machine learning engine" in the Nmap-dev archives 
gives a nice overview on what we tried to achieve this summer:

http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q3/82


The current status of the project is that we still have to finish some 
small things. We hope that there is soon a first experimental version 
that we can provide.

The reason we are doing this only for IPv6 at the moment is simply that 
we have to start somewhere: The OS detection system for IPv4 is working 
well as it is. For IPv6, a new system was designed, this time by using ML.

Once the OS detection with ML is working well with IPv6, we will 
consider also using it for IPv4.


The question about how to contribute to Nmap have already been answered 
for example here:

http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q1/80


However, if you have any specific questions regarding the IPv6 OS 
detection system, we will be happy to hear them of course. In case you 
want to know more details about the IPv6 OS detection project this 
summer, I recommend reading Prabhjyot Singh Sodhi's status reports.


Cheers,

Mathias
