Has anyone written a script that will scan a range of IPs and return ‘alive’ ip addresses, host names, mac addresses, open ports?
Thanks!
No, because there are other tools already existing on linux and windows to do it,
and it takes less time to use them directly than to write your own for no reason.
nmap -sn -T5 -A -v 8.8.8.8
It seems like it might be useful to have it run on the router, but maybe my intuition isn’t perfect on this.
I’d like to run nmap, but my PCs run Windows. I know it’s available, and I’ll install it, but then I have to install it on multiple machines.
I went ahead and installed and received:
“WARNING: OS Scan is unreliable without a port scan. You need to use a scan type along with it, such as -sS, -sT, -sF, etc instead of -sn”
This works:
“nmap -sS -T4 -A -v 192.168.2.0/24”
I’ve wanted to set up a linux machine and have done so a few times, but each time I do I find myself spending a lot of time trying to figure out (learn) how to do each thing I want done (as opposed to Windows, where I know how to do things already).
@Josephny,
I hate windows ; but you can use the graphical version called zenmap if you are scared of the command line.
