We use p0f (3.06b, 3.08b iirc is last) coerced to compile under solarish oses that we use (tweaks should be on my github). Depending on platform release we had libpcap issues that it processed packets by larger buffers at once, so p0f might not yet have answers when needed. 

Dialin rbl's work to an extent, but corrupted office workstations on commercial IPs are just as noisy ;p So p0f makes sense as one more factor to consider in our scoring setup.
