[Solved]How to use nmap to discover NAS

[Spinnifex]

Hello

I want to find the IP Address of my NAS System which is attached to my Router.
I forgot the router PW so one of my friends told me to use nmap.
But I am too low skilled to use this.

Can anyone help me?

regards
Spinni

You don't need nmap for that, usually something like fping is sufficient to show all responding IP adresses if they respond to ICMP echo.
For nmap see e.g. https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/quick-nmap-inventory or https://nmap.org/book/host-discovery-sp ... rgets.html

Code: Select all

nmap -sn 192.168.0.1/24

would scan the 192.168.0.1/24 network for IPs that respond.
