Wsdiscovery

WS-Discovery protocol automatically scans your network to find ONVIF cameras and compatible devices, returning their IP addresses, device types, manufacturers, firmware versions, and management URLs for immediate security assessment or further testing.

WS-Discovery identifies ONVIF cameras, NVRs, printers, and other WS-Discovery-enabled IoT devices on local and wide-area network segments by querying the multicast address and extracting device metadata including UUIDs, serial numbers, and service endpoints.

Yes, WS-Discovery automates device enumeration across your network by broadcasting discovery requests and collecting responses with comprehensive metadata like hardware versions, locations, and XAddrs, eliminating manual IP-by-IP inspection.

WS-Discovery outputs results in text, JSON, or verbose XML formats, allowing you to parse device data programmatically, integrate with security tools like onvifscan, or generate reports for network audits and inventories.

Yes, WS-Discovery discovery requires multicast and broadcast support enabled on your network segment; it scans the 239.255.255.250 broadcast address to reach compatible devices on the LAN or WAN.

Discovery returns IP addresses, ports, device UUIDs, types, manufacturers, models, hardware and firmware versions, serial numbers, locations, and XAddrs—comprehensive metadata needed to target subsequent security assessments and vulnerability scanning.
