Using nmap and wicd
IP Scanner with Command Line
Nmap is an aplication like angry ipscanner, you can install by using command :
sudo apt-get install nmap
if you want to scan the address, you can use command
nmap -v -sP ipaddress/subnet-mask
We can change ipaddress to the address that we want ( example: 192.168.1.1/26 ), it will scan user from 192.168.1.1 until 192.168.1.63 . it’s depend from subnet mask that we enter
Wicd
We use wicd For Wireless and Wired Manager . It simple and easy to use. I’m using this application to connect to my office WIFI and Other network. there’s no more prompt to ask for password cause we can save it on it conf file.
For installation, first off all, edit your sources.list
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
add the line :
deb http://apt.wicd.net hardy extras

wget -q http://apt.wicd.net/wicd.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
