How can I recognize someone by doing a portscan?

http://www.insecure.org/nmap

It slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries.

(I'm assuming you mean in the same sense as "you can identify a machine's
vendor based on the EUI-64..." - neither a portscan or a MAC address will
tell you who's machine it is, as far as I know (although doing an nmap to find
ports that will tell you who it is... hmm... ;)


I am inclined to agree. I am pretty sure I will find out more about the
user with a portscan than I will by knowing the type of his NIC...
