Primes¶
- Production Signature
- Network stack fingerprinting — two machines sending identical payloads are told apart by TCP option ordering, initial window sizes, and timing defaults imposed by their OS implementation.
This sourceDocuments how two machines sending identical payloads are distinguished by OS-imposed TCP/IP implementation defaults — TCP option ordering, initial window size, initial TTL, and timing — compared against a fingerprint database.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Supplies the principle that OS detection works by TCP/IP stack fingerprinting with probe fields such as TCP options (OPS) and initial window (WIN); the fetched text does not state the identical-payload mechanism.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
