Cannot Detect OS reliably

I am running a scan nmap -T Aggressive -A -v <target> It returns the message OSScan results may be unreliable because we could not find at least 1 open and 1 closed port. Is there any remedy for this, or does the target have itself hardened too much to prevent this? The Unix & Win32 report very different guesses on the OS. Nessus uses a remote HTTP Banner to guess the OS, which comes up with yet another result. _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
