Description: Remote OS identification using ICMP packets
Xprobe allows you to determine what operating system is running on a
remote host. It sends several packets to a host and analyses the
returned ICMP packets. The tool automates a logic of OS
fingerprinting methods called "X".
.
Xprobe's functionality is comparable to the OS fingerprinting feature
in nmap, but has several advantages over it:
- Faster: A maximum of 4 packets are sent to determine the remote OS.
- Can detect whether the host is up, so pinging is no longer necessary.
- Stealthier: Does not send any malformed datagrams.
- Can distinguish between many variants of Microsoft operating systems.
