Feature Request: Network Discovery

Do you have an example in mind, which open source ?

Will need to double check OSS apps and see that they do what they are supposed to do. Will follow up. If anyone has any favorites, would love to check them out

As for comercial ones Visio with network discovery (discontinued) was and is still good. SolarWinds LANsurveyor is very useful http://www.solarwinds.com/products/LANsurveyor/ (expensive but the trail version is good.

Anothe free and useful one, but not open source) that draws nice pictures is The Dude by Mikrotik. Can be found at http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude.php I use it when I have to quickly document a undocumented LAN in the SOHO

SpiceWorks: www.spiceWorks.com

Oh and OpenAudit: http://www.open-audit.org/

Hey man, this one looks really cool. I have not heard of this one before. And it even has a support ticket sytem integrated, very cool FREE software.
If "dhervieux" can use this or not that, that is the question!

Think about it, you do a scan of a network and find Windows/Linux servers, telnet/putty enabled devices, ect. and connect directly to them! Cool *hit

Mabey you could ask SpiceWorks if they where interested in making the products work together natively(as in SpiceWorks had native support for RDM). Just thinking out loud here ;)


By the way I was thinking the other day :\:
Sometimes when I'm not at work and just carrying a USB pen-drive on me, is it possiable to have RDM+Putty, RDP, and other tools lying just locally in a subfolder under RDM on my USB pen-drive(RDM would use those files in the subfolder to start RDP, telnet, SSH ect. Nothing would need to be installed on the current client you plugged your USB pen-drive in)?

Thanks for your time in advance :)

Hi,
sorry for the late answer. Yes it's possible to use RDM on a USB key, just configure the data source without any absolute path. Do the same for the tools location.

Have a nice day.
