Does not apply to this question. I asked only about adding an unused Tor hidden service port. No http server software. No other server software.

The pure hidden service shouldn't tell anything about the operating system. Actually it wouldn't even reply anything?

The only added vulnerability were the Tor virtual hidden service port, which were running vs. not running. No additional non-Tor software.
