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,

Olivier
