+SinFP is a new approach to OS fingerprinting, which bypasses
+limitations that nmap has.
+
+Nmap approaches to fingerprinting as shown to be efficient for years.
+Nowadays, with the omni-presence of stateful filtering devices,
+PAT/NAT configurations and emerging packet normalization technologies,
+its approach to OS fingerprinting is becoming to be obsolete.
+
+SinFP uses the aforementioned limitations as a basis for tests to be
+obsolutely avoided in used frames to identify accurately the remote
+operating system. That is, it only requires one open TCP port, sends
+only fully standard TCP packets, and limits the number of tests to 2
+or 3 (with only 1 test giving the OS reliably in most cases).
