You're charging money for this? And you're not providing source code?

This would be a nice little freeware project, and (we thought) a decent
topic for a technical report. However, you should be aware of the fact
that this is A.) by no means a new idea (see Comer and Lin's TCP paper,
and Vern Paxson's thesis [note "tcpanaly" program, which does essentially
what you do via scanning with packet traces]) and B.) something that lots
of people are working on in their spare time.
