Passive operating system fingerprinting runs as a daemon that Momentum communicates with over a socket, /tmp/p0fd. This daemon is started using the command: /etc/init.d/msys-p0f start . The fingerprints are all included in the msys-p0f package and are located here: /opt/msys/3rdParty/etc/p0f/. These fingerprints do not need to be modified.
