Sir, I was actually aiming to achieve OS detection feature in IPv6 protocol, for that i will have to 1)research out a module to make it a a full proof detection perhaps what i was planning was to work on the fingerprinting database as to what makes an OS detection different from the other. 2)I will actually have to start working at the very ground levels , trying to work on what makes it different between the windows and linux and its distributions 3)Perhaps i was planning to import the national vulnerability database into the detection like for example ubuntu(linux) http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search-results?query=ubuntu&search_type=all&cves=on , which has some vulnerabilities which are very specific to that OS only and not any other.This would be done on real time , even trying to reduce the time lag which Nmap takes for a normal scanning. 4)Thus i was trying to refine the way Nmap could possibly use its database as to refine its catch on OS detection feature.

What led me to take up this topic was i found that wheniwas using Nmap for multiple scanning the same host, a lot of times i came across that there was a different OS which was detected , and that got me into a very messed up situation as i being a penetration tester was very much dependant on the authenticity of Nmap Hence i really want to take up this topic and contribute to Nmap and open source community so as to develop a full proof OS detection module forIPv6support which would help a lot of penetration testers. Please let me know how else i can improve my project, looking forward for mentors.You need to provide more information about your project. As it is, you haven't told us anything to comment on. You need to state your ideas here, not only on the google-melange site, because many more people can see them here. Please double-check the page at http://nmap.org/soc/apply.html and make sure you've answered all the questions we require of a proposal. David Fifield
