      XProbe - Active OS Fingerprinting Tool
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DETAILS

     <http://www.sys-security.com/html/projects/X.html> Xprobe is an
    alternative to some tools that are heavily dependent upon the usage of the
    TCP protocol for remote active operating system fingerprinting.

    Xprobe I combines various remote active operating system fingerprinting
    methods using the ICMP protocol, which were discovered during the "ICMP
    Usage in Scanning" research project, into a simple, fast, efficient and a
    powerful way to detect an underlying operating system a targeted host is
    using.

    Xprobe2 is an active operating system fingerprinting tool with a different
    approach to operating system fingerprinting. Xprobe2 rely on fuzzy
    signature matching, probabilistic guesses, multiple matches
    simultaneously, and a signature database.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    The tool can be downloaded from:
