Nmap Development: RE: Finding real host in Nmap -D Scans

["Lampe, John W." <JWLAMPE () GAPAC com>]

just off the top of my head, if the Decoy hosts are live AND use simple incrementing IP IDs, then you could possibly 
use IP IDs to weed out decoys....

Subject: Finding real host in Nmap -D Scans


Hi All,

I was wondering about the decoy scan in nmap.  Is there a way to tell
which host in a decoy scan is the real host?  I found a post by Dug Song
(http://www.geek-girl.com/ids/1999/0057.html), but these methods won't
work anymore.

First, as Dug Song said nmap now randomizes the ttl fields, and secondly
you can't narrow it down to a host that can run nmap, because nmap can
now be run on Windows systems as well.
