Research on Remote Operating System Detection Using Libnet
Wentao Liu · 2009
In this paper, the remote operating system detection is discussed and some detection methods which contain active detection and passive detection are studied and compared. The implement of remote operating system detection based on Libnet is provided and the architecture of total system is presented. The principle of Libnet is studied and it can improve detection performance and scalability. The detection that combines TCP/IP fingerprinting with ICMP detection is used in the scanning system and it can get high accuracy of remote operating system detection.
