Once a legitimate user connects to the AP, the AP will eventually send out a SSID in cleartext. By impersonating this AP by automatic altering of the MAC address, the computer running the network discovery scanner will be given this SSID by legitimate users. Passive scanners include Kismet and essid jack (a program under AirJack).

[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 ...
Step 1 – SAINT screens every live system on a network for TCP and UDP services. Step 2 – For each service it finds running, it launches a set of probes designed to detect anything that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access, create a denial-of-service, or gain sensitive information about the network. Step 3 – The scanner ...
The ZMap software takes every number from 1 to 2 32-1 and creates an iterative formula that ensures that each of the possible 32-bit numbers is visited once in a pseudorandom order. [3] Building the initial list of numbers for every IP address takes upfront time, but it is a fraction of what is required to aggregate a list of every sent and ...
Nmap (Network Mapper) is a network scanner created by Gordon Lyon (also known by his pseudonym Fyodor Vaskovich). [5] Nmap is used to discover hosts and services on a computer network by sending packets and analyzing the responses.
