Greetings...
I don't know much about scripting but i tried to write one to scan my
local network using the net/arping port.
here is the script:
<sciprt start>
#!/bin/sh
IP=3D1
while [ $IP -le 20 ]
do
echo -e ".\c"
if ( arping -c 1 -q -i rl1 10.0.0.$IP ) then
echo -e "\n10.0.0.$IP Online"
fi
IP=3D$(( $IP +1 ))
done
echo -e "\n"
<script end>
The script runs and reports OK but it is very slow and takes a lot of
time to scan a large network. Does anyone have an idea on how to
improve it or provide an alternate way to do it?
PS: I used the arpscan port in the past but it is reported as broken:
Unfetchable.
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 Stable.
--=20
Kind regards
