Troubleshooting

MAC Address / Manufacturer is inaccurate/unknown

The program does an ARP lookup to determine the MAC address. This lookup can sometimes require admin-level permissions to retrieve accurate results. Try elevating your shell before execution.

The accuracy of the devices found is low

I use a combination of ARP, ICMP & port testing to determine if a device is online. Sometimes the scan settings can use some tuning to maximize both speed and accuracy.

Recommendations:

• Adjust scan configuration
• Configure ARP lookup ARP lookup setup
• Create a bug
