hostmac.py

Description

When run, user has two available options:

• Attempts detection of host IP address, then iterates through subnet current host is on (x.x.x.1 - x.x.x.254) and outputs:

  • IP Address, ping ms response time, Hostname and MAC address for each device found

• Enter any IP address (in subnet range host is part of), and output (for that device):

  • IP Address, ping ms response time, Hostname and MAC address

Results are optionally written to /YYYY-MM-DD_output/HH_mm_{AM/PM}.csv
