I am looking for a way to defeat nmap OS-fingerprinting. This article describes a few approaches and mentions the tool IP Personality, which seems quite promising because it can trick nmap to detect a certain OS. However, the most recent version of this tool only works for the Linux 2.4 kernel.

I've been googling for a long time to find a tool that is capable of making nmap detect a different OS for more recent Linux kernels but couldn't find any.

Does anyone know of such a tool?

I too am looking for something similar to IP Personality.

I'm not sure if it meets your requirements, but honeyd can do similar. You can set a "personality" in the configuration such as:

set default personality "Linux 2.2.14"
