detecting foreign OS

Hello,

I have a task to detect with some probability which OS runs on the target machine.

I know there isn't API or a trustworthy method to do this and get 100% correct result, but I am searching for some clues that say with more or less probability that the target machine is under, say, Windows.

In my personal opinion, trying to connect to some ports on a foreign host and analyzing the results can give one reasons to judge that this host is probably Windows. In other words, after connecting to some ports on a host it's still possible to say that 60% chances are that it's Windows, 30% Linux and only 10% Mac.

I would appreciate your ideas on this

Regards,
Igor
