+The osf module does passive operating system fingerprinting. This modules
+compares some data (Window Size, MSS, options and their order, TTL, DF,
+and others) from packets with the SYN bit set.
+.TP
+[\fB!\fP] \fB\-\-genre\fP \fIstring\fP
+Match an operating system genre by using a passive fingerprinting.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-ttl\fP \fIlevel\fP
+Do additional TTL checks on the packet to determine the operating system.
+\fIlevel\fP can be one of the following values:
+.IP \(bu 4
+0 - True IP address and fingerprint TTL comparison. This generally works for
+LANs.
+.IP \(bu 4
+1 - Check if the IP header's TTL is less than the fingerprint one. Works for
+globally-routable addresses.
+.IP \(bu 4
+2 - Do not compare the TTL at all.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-log\fP \fIlevel\fP
+Log determined genres into dmesg even if they do not match the desired one.
+\fIlevel\fP can be one of the following values:
+.IP \(bu 4
+0 - Log all matched or unknown signatures
+.IP \(bu 4
+1 - Log only the first one
+.IP \(bu 4
+2 - Log all known matched signatures

+You may find something like this in syslog:
+.PP
+Windows [2000:SP3:Windows XP Pro SP1, 2000 SP3]: 11.22.33.55:4024 ->
+11.22.33.44:139 hops=3 Linux [2.5-2.6:] : 1.2.3.4:42624 -> 1.2.3.5:22 hops=4

+OS fingerprints are loadable using the \fBnfnl_osf\fP program. To load
+fingerprints from a file, use:
+.PP
+\fBnfnl_osf -f ./pf.os\fP
+.PP
+To remove them again,
+.PP
+\fBnfnl_osf -f ./pf.os -d\fP

+The fingerprint database can be downlaoded from
