    If the remote host has perl you login (via ssh) and use $OSNAME or $^O, see perlvar. man uname on a *nix host may be what you're looking for.

    I would use nmap to do that.
        What a fascinating article ! Modifying the kernel's tcp stack to fool nmap, that's some level of extremism i had not seen before :)
