TCP Options Probe

Detailed Software Likelihood: Medium Typical Severity: Low

Parents: 312

Threats: T60 T80 T258 T288 T291 T302 T334 T392 T407

Description

This OS fingerprinting probe analyzes the type and order of any TCP header options present within a response segment. Most operating systems use unique ordering and different option sets when options are present. RFC 793 does not specify a required order when options are present, so different implementations use unique ways of ordering or structuring TCP options. TCP options can be generated by ordinary TCP traffic.
