Need a ping sweep, but don't have fping?
Try nmap:
nmap -sP 10.0.5.0/24 > whadaya-think-about-that.out For ipv6, (if you have all day): nmap -6 --script=targets-ipv6-multicast-* - or - ping6 -c2 -I wlan0 ff02::1 Scan top 10,000 ports: nmap -6 --script=targets-ipv6-multicast-* --script-args=newtargets -PS --top-ports=10000
Thanks https://blog.philippklaus.de/2012/01/ipv6-tools-on-the-command-line/ for the ping6 -c2 -I iface ff02::1 trick!
Need to check out a dhcp server to gather info, but don't want to obtain a lease?
Nmap to the rescue:
Info from here: https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/dhcp-discover.html
nmap -sU -p 67 --script=dhcp-discover <target>
