OSfooler-ng prevents remote OS active/passive fingerprinting by tools like nmap or p0f
An outsider has the capability to discover general information, such as which operating system a host is running, by searching for default stack parameters, ambiguities in IETF RFCs or non-compliant TCP/IP implementations in responses to malformed requests. By pinpointing the exact OS of a host, an attacker can launch an educated and precise attack against a target machine.
There are lot of reasons to hide your OS to the entire world:
OSfooler was presented at Blackhat Arsenal 2013. It was built on NFQUEUE, an iptables/ip6tables target which delegate the decision on packets to a userspace. It transparently intercepted all traffic that your box was sending in order to camouflage and modify in real time the flags in TCP/IP packets that discover your system.
OSfooler-NG has been complete rewriten from the ground up, being highly portable, more efficient and combining all known techniques to detect and defeat at the same time:
Some additional features are:
To get the latest versions, with bugfixes and new features, but maybe not as stable, use the the Github repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/segofensiva/OSfooler-ng.git
You need to install python-nfqueue (v0.5-1build2) linux package. Download from Ubuntu Packages:
$ wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/nfqueue-bindings/python-nfqueue_0.5-1build2_amd64.deb
$ dpkg -i python-nfqueue_0.5-1build2_amd64.deb
Install OSfooler-ng in the standard way:
$ sudo python setup.py install
To get the full list of OS to emulate, just use the flag '-n':
$ osfooler-ng.py -n
[+] Please, select nmap OS to emulate
+ "2N Helios IP VoIP doorbell"
+ "2Wire BT2700HG-V ADSL modem"
+ "2Wire 1701HG wireless ADSL modem"

+ "ZyXEL Prestige 660HW-61 ADSL router (ZyNOS 3.40)"
+ "ZyXEL Prestige 660HW-D1 wireless ADSL router"
+ "ZyXEL ZyWALL 2 Plus firewall"
To emulate an specific OS, just use the flag '-o' with the OS you want to emulate:
$ osfooler-ng.py -m "Sony Ericsson W705 or W715 Walkman mobile phone"

To emulate any p0f OS, just use the flag '-o' with the OS Genre. This will choose the main OS and custom version will be randomly loaded when a SYN packet is detected. For example:
$ osfooler-ng.py -o "PalmOS"

OSfooler-ng is also capable os emulating both OS to defeat nmap and p0f. Just combine the parameters above:

You can search inside nmap/p0f database for a specific OS, instead of getting the whole list. Just use the flag '-s' and enter the keyword you want to search for (case insensitive). You'll get any match found, and if it belongs to nmap or p0f databases:
$ osfooler-ng.py -s playstation
[+] Searching databases for: 'playstation'
[nmap] "Sony Playstation 4 or FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE"
[nmap] "Sony PlayStation 2 game console test kit 2.2.1"
[nmap] "Sony PlayStation 3 game console"
[nmap] "Sony PlayStation 3 game console test kit"
[nmap] "Sony PlayStation 2 game console"
[p0f] OS: "Sony" DETAILS: "Playstation 2 (SOCOM?)"
Use the flag '-u' to check if there's a new version of nmap's database avaiable and to download it
$ osfooler-ng.py -u
