# The security/p0f port

## p0f-2.0.8p2 – passive OS fingerprinting tool

## Description

    Passive OS fingerprinting technique based on information coming from a
    remote host when it establishes a connection to our system. Captured
    packets contain enough information to determine the remote OS. Unlike
    active scanners like Nmap or QueSO, p0f identifies the remote OS without
    sending anything to it.
