Hi All, I am running the command "nmap -O -oX test.xml <IP addresses>" ,it is not giving the MAC address and Mac vendor deatils. Some times it is providing the MAC details & some times it is not providing. Can you please tell me if there is any other option to finding out the MAC details.
MAC address scanning only works over layer 2 networks. As soon as the packets pass a router it can no longer be determined. I haven't looked at that particular piece of code, but I suspect nmap detects this and doesn't print the MAC-address for routed packets. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson () op5 se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev
