p0f v3

And I though MZ gave up on p0f after no updates to v2 in years. I guess I'm proven wrong....

== What's new ==

Version 3 is a complete rewrite, bringing you much improved SYN and SYN+ACK fingerprinting capabilities, auto-calibrated uptime measurements, completely redone databases and signatures, new API design, IPv6 support (who knows, maybe it even works?), stateful traffic inspection with thorough cross-correlation of collected data, application-level fingerprinting modules (for HTTP now, more to come),
and a lot more.

----

On my list to test in the near future and provide some new fingerprints. Assuming time permits and how well it works (I have no doubts well, but...), I will look at what it is doing and see if I can incorporate new stuff/ideas into a newer tcp plugin for Satori.

SANS Reading room

Not sure how new the article is based on the fact that all referenced material is from 2002 or before, but here it is. It is about using Telnet Negotiation Data to passively fingerprint a system.

Being that telnet isn't used much anymore, it may be a little dated now, but it popped up in my Google Alerts, so figured I'd at least put it here so I could find it easier in the future if need be.

While looking around SANS reading room I also came across this article which also appears to be dated, but still somewhat useful. It is about using passive fingerprinting to audit and discover network vulnerabilities.
