“We finally tackled our backlog of OS and service detection fingerprint submissions.

We’re not talking about dozens or hundreds of them – we processed more than 6,500 fingerprints,” stated Lyon, reflecting on the monumental task.

This enhancement includes adding 9 new soft matches, further refining the tool’s ability to identify services and their versions accurately.

The update now supports detecting 1,246 protocols, incorporating new entries such as grpc, myself, asset, remote mouse, and tuya, thereby expanding its utility in diverse network environments.
