+Responder is an LLMNR, NBT-NS and MDNS poisoner. It will answer to
+specific NBT-NS (NetBIOS Name Service) queries based on their name
+suffix (see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/163409). By default, the
+tool will only answer to File Server Service request, which is for SMB.
+
+The concept behind this is to target our answers, and be stealthier on
+the network. This also helps to ensure that we don't break legitimate
+NBT-NS behavior. You can set the -r option via command line if you want
+to answer to the Workstation Service request name suffix.
