Nmap can provide further information on targets, including reverse DNS names, device types, and MAC addresses. [13] Typical uses of Nmap: Auditing the security of a device or firewall by identifying the network connections which can be made to, or through it. [14] Identifying open ports on a target host in preparation for auditing. [15]
WiFi Explorer is a wireless network scanner tool for macOS that can help users identify channel conflicts, overlapping and network configuration issues [1] [2] [3] that may be affecting the connectivity and performance of Wi-Fi networks.
The MAC address that is hard-coded on a network interface controller (NIC) cannot be changed. However, many drivers allow the MAC address to be changed. Additionally, there are tools which can make an operating system believe that the NIC has the MAC address of a user's choosing. The process of masking a MAC address is known as MAC spoofing.

ZMap also speeds up the scanning process by sending a probe to every IP address only once by default, whereas Nmap resends a probe when it detects a connection delay or fails to get a reply. [8] This results in about 2% of IP addresses being missed during a typical scan, but when processing billions of IP address, or potential IoT devices being ...

Wireshark is very similar to tcpdump, but has a graphical front-end and integrated sorting and filtering options.. Wireshark lets the user put network interface controllers into promiscuous mode (if supported by the network interface controller), so they can see all the traffic visible on that interface including unicast traffic not sent to that network interface controller's MAC address.
