+p0f v2 is a passive operating system fingerprinting tool.  
+It can identify the OS on:
+   - machines that connect to your box (SYN mode),
+   - machines you connect to (SYN+ACK mode),
+   - machines you cannot connect to (RST+ mode),
+   - machines whose communications you can observe.
+
+P0f can also detect or measure the following:
+   - firewall presence, NAT use,
+   - existence of a load balancer setup,
+   - the distance to the remote system and its uptime,
+   - other guy's network hookup (DSL, OC3, avian carriers) and his ISP.
