1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | The version of Nmap you have installed will affect the
performance of PBNJ 2.0. If you are running a version older than
Nmap-4.20ALPHA3, then Nmap won't be able to properly identify the OS
when no services are running. Thus, if you scan a machine that is
running services, then scan it when all the services are off,
PBNJ 2.0 will consider the operating system to different as the OS
for the 2nd scan is unknown. This is because there is nothing for
Nmap to connect to, so Nmap is not able to return a proper
fingerprint. Therefore, this would cause the machine from scan 1 to
show all services as still running and the machine from the 2nd scan
to be inserted as a new machine with no running services.
