Description: active/passive network address scanner using ARP requests
Netdiscover is an active/passive address reconnaissance tool, mainly
developed for those wireless networks without dhcp server, when you
are wardriving. It can be also used on hub/switched networks.
.
Built on top of libnet and libpcap, it can passively detect online
hosts, or search for them, by actively sending ARP requests.
.
Netdiscover can also be used to inspect your network ARP traffic,
or find network addresses using auto scan mode, which will scan for
common local networks.
.
Netdiscover uses the OUI table to show the vendor of the each MAC
address discovered and is very useful for security checks or in
pentests.
