I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of xprobe2 0.1 
Release.

xprobe2 is an active operating system fingerprinting tool with a 
different approach to operating system fingerprinting. The tool relies 
on fuzzy signature matching, probabilistic guesses, simultaneous 
multiple matches, and a signature database.

More information on xprobe2’s technology can be obtained from [1] and 
[2].


Changes from previous versions:

- A lot of new signatures were added
- xprobe2 0.1 sends RFC compliant icmp query packets
- Support for IP ID = SENT was added (please see [3] for more 
information)
- Added documentation on "how to add your own signatures"
- No more “xprobe” in the data portion of the icmp queries
- A lot of bug fixes
- An extensive Source code cleaning


The source code can be obtained from:

MD5 (xprobe2-0.1.tar.gz) = 91e79394e82d6742532be17670d88427
