Abstract
This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for passive OS fingerprinting to
countermeasure attacks in network systems. First of all, a passive OS
fingerprinting tool is integrated with efficient honeypot system to lure attackers in
the system. Thereafter, the collected data from the attacker undergoes an
efficient filtration algorithm to reduce the congestion in the network as well as
make fast analysis. Finally, the filtered data is sent out to an analysis tool to
grasp as much information as possible about the attacker in a short time.
Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework in
identifying the vulnerabilities in the network system as well as the ability to
countermeasure attacks through identifying their OS, and thus, escalating their
further actions.
