Description

Scans a local network with ARP requests to discover devices and identify likely vendors or device types. Administrators use it to see what is present on the same network segment.

Use it only on networks where you have permission to scan. It is a diagnostic and inventory tool, not an internet scanner, and it may need elevated privileges to send ARP packets.
