Hi.

(PLEASE REPLY TO MY MAIL AS WELL, I'M NOT SUBSCRIBED)

As of 2001/03/22 we have the following :

cat /usr/src/crypto/openssh/version.h 
--
/* $FreeBSD: src/crypto/openssh/version.h,v 1.1.1.1.2.4 2001/03/22
00:30:56 green Exp $ */
/* $OpenBSD: version.h,v 1.13 2000/10/16 09:38:45 djm Exp $ */

#define SSH_VERSION	"OpenSSH_2.3.0 green@FreeBSD.org 20010321"
--

And sshd prints the complete SSH_VERSION to anyone.

--
telnet somewhere.running.latest.stable

Connected to somewhere.running.latest.stable.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.5-OpenSSH_2.3.0 green@FreeBSD.org 20010321
--

Why this "green@FreeBSD.org 20010321" has been added ?

With that, there is no need for OS Fingerprinting.
You've got the OS that the host is running AND
its sshd EXACT date of last modification by freebsd team.

My 0.1 cent...
