[ddp] xprobe : Remote OS identification

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package xprobe, which is
part of the net section, and maintained by Richard Atterer
<atterer at debian.org>. 

This package contains : Remote OS identification.

Xprobe2 allows you to determine what operating system is running on a
remote host. It sends several packets to a host and analyses the
returned answers.

Xprobe2's functionality is comparable to the OS fingerprinting feature
in nmap (written by a different Fyodor):
 - Outputs its level of confidence about the OS on the remote host.
 - Remains usable even if intermediate systems (routers, firewalls) make
   slight modifications to the packets.
 - Can list the type of intermediate device (e.g. "Linux IP masquerading").
 - Modular architecture allows new fingerprinting tests and new OS
   signatures to be added.
