FAQPage Schema
How do I scan a local network to discover devices and their MAC addresses?▼

To scan a local network for device discovery, this Skill uses nmap to enumerate active devices, collecting their IP addresses, MAC addresses, vendor names, and hostnames for local network inventories.

What safety checks prevent accidental scanning of public networks?▼

Network scanning safety is enforced through private-route verification and blocklists, ensuring the scanner only targets local, office, or lab networks and prevents accidental scanning of public networks.

Do I need nmap and dig installed to identify hostnames and vendors?▼

Yes, you need nmap and dig installed to run this network scanner, as these tools handle the underlying device discovery, vendor identification, and hostname resolution processes.

Can I use this network scanner for security audits and device documentation in a lab environment?▼

Yes, you can use this network scanner for security audits and device documentation in a lab environment, as it maps devices and outputs structured data including IP, MAC, vendor, and hostname.

What is the best way to automate network inventory collection across home or office networks?▼

The best way to automate network inventory collection is running this scanner against configured private networks, which safely gathers structured device data including IP, MAC, vendor, and hostname.
