How to detect OS and apply rules?
-
Hi.
Guys, exist a way to identify a OS device automatically?
I mean, nmap can help us, by u have to run some scripts, I want to know that once a device get connected by our DHCP, pfsense detect the OS and latter run some batch that could kick the device from the network if the OS is from some X company?
Just wondering?

There is OS detection in firewall rules. It isn't perfect, but it can be reasonably accurate.
Add a block rule, pick the OS you want to block (if it's there), and if it detects them, it will block them.
