      Hello,

      if you want a simple trick to do OS fingerprinting, I
      suggest you to use the initial window size of a TCP session
      establishement.

      If you use that, you can create a table for each OS I've
      seen by parsing the file at:
      http://www.gomor.org/files/net-sinfp-db-export.txt

      Or better, use the database in SQLite format:
      DB Schema:
      http://www.gomor.org/files/net-sinfp-db-schema.ps
      DB:
      http://www.gomor.org/files/sinfp.db

      Or even better, use SinFP:
      http://www.gomor.org/cgi-bin/index.pl?mode=view;page=net_sinfp

      Best regards,
