Network behavior analysis of selected operating systems
Július Baráth · 2019
The aim of this paper is to obtain characteristic behavior patterns of operating systems with a focus on the communication observed by a remote observer. Network communication of selected operating systems is observed, and the list of contacted targets is recorded. Based on the list, we try to identify the type of operating system used or a group of installed applications. Obtained data can be used for passive reconnaissance of remote networks, detection of possible undesirable leaks of information, filtering of selected communication, etc.
