Different approaches have been developed for TCP/IP fingerprinting, but none
of these approaches is suited for Internet-wide fingerprinting. In this work, we develop
approaches that rigorously tackle the issue of noise and packet loss while carrying out
Internet-wide fingerprinting. We then carry out an Internet-wide scan to determine
the distribution of different operating systems on the Internet. The results of our
scan indicate that there are approximately 8.9 million publicly accessible web-servers
on the Internet running Linux, while there are nearly 9.6 million web-servers with
different embedded operating systems.
