Re: [NSE] Minor feature enhancement for nbstat.nse

[Ron <ron () skullsecurity net>]

Hey,
 
That's really cool! 

A thought on the similar vain -- is it possible to set the MAC address in Nmap from a script? And if not, can it be 
added? The same way we set the version and state for ports, it'd be useful to set the remote MAC address so Nmap (and 
other scripts) can use it.
