Abstract
The operating system fingerprint is a factor that can help determine a target operating system and version through network scanning. There are two methods of discrimination: Internet Control Message (ICMP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). In this study, we analyzed whether it is possible to categorize the operating system version (e.g., Windows 7, 8.1, 10) in a manner that the operating system can be determined using ICMP. Using ICMP, we could successfully classify the operating systems into Windows and Linux.
