    I gather you mean this paper:

    http://www.caida.org/outreach/papers/2005/fingerprinting/

    It's an interesting read.

    As to how vulnerable FreeBSD is to this I do not know nor do I know if
    we should bother to do anything about it. What, in particular are you
    worried about here? Also, if you consider this a security issue you
    should probably also include the security team in this discussion.

    Later,
