Description

Scans networks for NetBIOS information exposed by Windows or Samba-style hosts. It can help identify machine names, workgroups, and related network details during diagnostics or inventory.

Use it only on networks where scanning is allowed. NetBIOS discovery can reveal host information, so administrators should treat results as operational data.

How to run
