Black hats use 'passive fingerprinting' to identify your operating system without you knowing it. But the technique is useful for white hats too.

I think the idea of feeling sleazy because you used a fingerprinting tool is rediculous. It's not the fingerprinting that makes you sleazy. It's what you choose to do with the information gathered that could potentially make you feel sleazy.

BTW the word 'ethics' is plural...
