Hello all, I'm reading this thread with interest. Wasn't it frowned upon at some point, to do such widespread network scanning using nmap, and aren't some firewalls/software set-up to detect such network scanning and block it automatically? In which case, results are unlikely to show all devices. Kindest regards,
