Using NMAP to find active devices • Arnav Jain

In a recent post i mentioned using NMAP for Windows to find out the ip addesses of devices connected on the network. In this post I wish to lift that section out specifically.

The command for finding all active devices in the selected subnet is:

nmap -sP 192.168.8.0/24

The output might be somthing like:

C:\Users\Arnav>nmap -sP 192.168.8.0/24
