Hi,

Quoting tjan () PLANETARYMOTION NET (tjan () PLANETARYMOTION NET):
Does anyone has any good suggestions of OS fingerprinting tools beside,
nmap, nessus or queso?
If used properly, 'sing' (send nasty icmp garbage) can do some nice
fingerprinting/os identification stuff based on ICMP.
The 'ICMP usage in scanning' and other papers by Ofir Arkin are a good read
on ICMP scanning techniques, and the usage of 'sing' as well.
Also check some of the posts by Ofir (and others) on [bugtraq] .

Greets,
        Robert
