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?

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.

Maybe check your repos then, fping is in core: https://madb.mageia.org/package/show/na ... rch/x86_64

Please don't forget to mark the thread as solved, by editing the subject of the first post and prefix it with [SOLVED], thanks in advance.
