Scan by device type and OS
2 posts · Closed
Is it possible to scan with SoftPerfect Network Scanner by the device type and by OS?
I already use the "Lookup network card vendor" setting at the Additional settings tab, but can the Network Scanner distinguish between a printer and a workstation, etc.? For example, this is what shows up when I scan a printer:
192.168.43.235 F4-30-B6-F1-63-2A 0 ms HP_ITM452 WORKGROUP Unknown platform (0x0) Hewlett-Packard Company Workstation Service
I would like to also see the device type and the OS.
Thank you!
This should be possible in version 7.2.1 released yesterday. This release features integration with Nmap, a free console-based tool, which can amongst other things detect the OS and device type on a target IP address.
You can download the latest version from NetScanner product page. You will also need to install Nmap if it's not already installed on your computer. Then go to Options - Integration with Nmap and set the options as shown below:
After that, you should have the OS and device type listed in the output:
