Hi Stephen, I am trying to find a replacement for an important tool I use on a frequent basis. I have been very clear about what I am after. If you do not understand what I am after, please just ask me instead of insulting me. > 2) nmap is a very complicated swiss army knife tool.

But, if you are looking for stray or misconfigured devices with a different network on the same interface, they will be dark to nmap. In this scenario, the only tool I have found that can do this is Autoscan. > 3) what you are wanting is actually a multi step process.

Hopefully, I do not have to go that route. This can be done from software, as Autoscan demonstrates. I may have to keep a copy of SL7.2 and FC23 around for years just to run Autoscan. Oh well, what is a one more flash drive to add to the pile I already have. Tip: keep a dd copy of your flash drive. Windows machines tend to eat them. "mac-ping". That sounds interesting. I should put Autoscan on Wireshark and find out exactly what it does.
