Host Discovery

Netdiscover

For wireless networks without dhcp server, it also works on hub/switched networks.

Ping Sweep

It is possible that a ping sweep may not result in successful replies on the first attempt, especially when communicating across networks. This can be caused by the time it takes for a host to build it's arp cache. In these cases, it is good to attempt our ping sweep at least twice to ensure the arp cache gets built
