Abstract
Many recent malware implementations employ virtual machines to carry out their malicious activities. These are hard to detect because their states can´t be accessed by antivirus software running in the native OS. An approach for OS fingerprinting using TCP SYN packets in an enterprise environment can detect the presence of unauthorized OSs.
