DeviceGuide Scan: The Second Half of a Network Scan
A field guide for identifying the devices that answer when you scan a small network.
Field notes
The guide treats a scan as the beginning of an investigation rather than the finished answer. Its example contains 41 responding rows, including three undocumented cameras and five hosts with no name. The proposed method compares four sources—address, name, hardware vendor, and published services—while warning that each can be wrong alone. The site organizes the follow-up into nine device classes and a four-stage sequence covering acquisition, installation, scanning, and row-by-row identification.
