NAME

       nbtscan —  program for scanning networks for NetBIOS name information

SYNOPSIS

       nbtscan  [-v]   [-d]   [-e]   [-l]   [-t  timeout]  [-b bandwidth]  [-r]  [-q]  [-s separator]  [-h]  [-m
       retransmits]  [-f filename | scan_range]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the nbtscan command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does  not
       have a manual page.

       nbtscan is a program for scanning IP networks for NetBIOS name information. It sends NetBIOS status query
       to  each  address  in  supplied  range  and  lists  received information in human readable form. For each
       responded host it lists IP address, NetBIOS computer name, logged-in user name and MAC address  (such  as
       Ethernet).

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -v        Verbose output. Print all names received from each host.

       -d        Dump packets. Print whole packet contents. Cannot be used with -v, -s or -h options.

       -e        Format output in /etc/hosts format.

       -l        Format output in lmhosts format. Cannot be used with -v, -s or -h options.

       -t timeout
                 Wait timeout seconds for response. Default 1.

       -b bandwidth
                 Output throttling. Slow down output so that it uses no more that bandwidth bps.  Useful on slow
                 links, so that ougoing queries don't get dropped.

       -r        Use  local  port  137  for scans. Win95 boxes respond to this only.  You need to be root to use
                 this option.

       -q        Suppress banners and error messages.

       -s separator
                 Script-friendly output. Don't print column and record headers, separate fields with separator.

       -h        Print human-readble names for services.  Can only be used with -v option.

       -m retransmits
                 Number of retransmits. Default 0.

       -f filename
                 Take IP addresses to scan from file "filename"

       scan_range
                 What to scan. Can either be single IP like 192.168.1.1 or range of  addresses  in  one  of  two
                 forms: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx or xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-xxx.
