Network Scanning
Discover and scan devices on your Ethernet network.
Use Ethernet scanning tools to discover devices, services, and open ports on your network.
Device Discovery
Network Fingerprinting
Identify devices using service announcements (mDNS, SSDP, NBNS):
ethfp
See Network Fingerprinting for detailed information.
ARP Scanning
Discover active hosts on the network using ARP:
etharp
Returns a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses of devices responding to ARP requests.
Ping Scanning
Scan for active hosts using ICMP ping:
ethping
Sends ping requests to discover which hosts are online.
Service Discovery
Banner Grabbing and Service Detection
Probe a host for running services and grab banners:
ethserv <ip>
Example:
ethserv 192.168.1.1
Attempts to connect to common ports and retrieve service information (HTTP, SSH, FTP, etc.).
Port Scanning
TCP Port Scanning
Scan specific ports on a target:
ethports <ip> <port>
Examples:
ethports 192.168.1.100 80
ethports 192.168.1.100 22,80,443
Scan Gateway
Scan the gateway (DHCP server):
ethports local 80
Scan All Ports
Scan all common ports on a target:
ethports 192.168.1.100 all
Traceroute
Trace the network path to a host:
ethtrace <ip>
Example:
ethtrace 8.8.8.8
Shows each hop (router) between your device and the target.
DNS Resolution
DNS Lookup
Resolve a domain name to an IP address:
ethdns <domain>
Example:
ethdns google.com
Statistics
Network Statistics
Display Ethernet interface statistics:
ethstats
Shows packet counts, errors, and other interface metrics.
