XML OS fingerprint output question - futher information: msg#00156

Subject: XML OS fingerprint output question - futher information

I am sorry, I neglected to add the following information
to the previous email.

Example command line: nmap -O2 -F -sSU <targetip>

Result: Text indicating no exact OS match found,
fingerprint printed to StdOut.

Example command line: nmap -O2 -F -sSU -oX test.xml <targetip>

Result: Text indicating no exact OS match found,
fingerprint printed to StdOut.
An osclass entry in the XML output, 86% in
this case. No OS fingerprint output in the
XML.


Further digging in output.cc shows that line 1410 may be
responsible for printing the fingerprint to StdOut if
version 2 of the OS fingerprinting is used, regardless if
verbose or debugging output is requested. Should the log_write
entry be changed to include output to LOG_XML? It is already
written to LOG_NORMAL, LOG_SKID_NOXLT and LOG_STDOUT.

Please correct me if I am reading the code incorrectly.

Tom Sellers
