[PacketFence-devel] DHCP fingerprint DB with mobile OS name

[James He]

Hi There,

I'm trying to use DHCP fingerprint to detect OS name (like iOS or Android) for mobile devices. Is it possible to work with the dhcp_fingerprint.conf? Looks it only presents the device models like Samsung Galaxy ... Is there any way I can find out the OS name? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello James,

I suggest you have a look at our other solution - Fingerbank
(http://www.fingerbank.org).

The dhcp_fingerprints.conf file has been superseded by Fingerbank -
which is much more than just DHCP fingerprints. Fingerbank will give you
the device model, user agent, DHCP v4 fingerprint and vendor, DHCP v6
fingerprint and enterprise, MAC vendor and more, like a weighted score
on all these information forming a combination.

Fingerbank is heavily used in PacketFence.

Feel fee to contact me if you need more information.

Thanks,
