Re: bridge detection

[Danux <danuxx () gmail com>]

You could use nmap with the -O option enable and it will identify if
it is a pc, switch, router and sometimes will give you the versión and
brand.

Also you could use ettercap and start sniffing the network and it will
show you the devices it can identify as.


Good Luck.
