NetSpot is a software tool for wireless network assessment, scanning, and surveys, analyzing Wi-Fi coverage and performance. [1] It runs on Mac OS X 10.6+ and Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11.
Nmap is used for network reconnaissance and exploitation of the slum tower network. It is even seen briefly in the movie's trailer. The command Nmap is widely used in the video game Hacknet, allowing to probe the network ports of a target system to hack it. In Snowden, Nmap is used in the aptitude test scene about 14 minutes into the movie.
When IPv6 hosts configure their network interface controllers, they multicast router solicitation (RS) requests onto the network to discover available routers. Radvd answers requests with router advertisement (RA) messages. In addition, radvd periodically multicasts RA packets to the attached link to update network hosts.
Kismet differs from other wireless network detectors in working passively. Namely, without sending any loggable packets, it is able to detect the presence of both wireless access points and wireless clients, and to associate them with each other. It is also the most widely used and up to date open source wireless monitoring tool. [citation needed]
ZMap is a free and open-source security scanner that was developed as a faster alternative to Nmap. ZMap was designed for information security research and can be used for both white hat and black hat purposes. The tool is able to discover vulnerabilities and their impact, and detect affected IoT devices.
Network Device Interface (NDI) is a software specification developed by the technology company NewTek.It enables high-definition video to be transmitted, received, and communicated over a computer network with low latency and high quality.
Monitoring: This function enables the network management software to monitor the network for problems and to suggest improvements. [2] [3] The software may poll the devices periodically or register itself to receive alerts from network devices. One mechanism for network devices to volunteer information about itself is by sending an SNMP Trap ...
This category is for general information on device discovery protocols [1] which reside on the data link layer. Those protocols are used to inform neighboring devices about each other and to provide (data link layer) parameters to network a new device.
