Hi
Hi,
I would like to discover the device behind an IP Address.
For example: 192.168.0.120. The device answers to ping. But what it is?
I would like to query that device by IP (or MAC) and know something about it. If possible Device Type, Manufacturer and Model.
I need something that can work on any (or most) devices on any (or most) platforms. Is there such protocol?
What are my options? Any sample code or article will help a lot.
Should work on Delphi Tokyo.
TIA,
Clément

If the remote device doesn't have a public SNMP - you cant get that info, otherwise you could change the public SNMP
ReplyDeleteClement Doss many devices do not support SNMP, or have it disabled for security reasons because of many reasons (hard to configure properly, historically a bad vulnerability track record, etc).
ReplyDeleteThe open source nmap has a set of rules about how to detect devices in subtle ways which gets extended over time. This is especially useful if the devices you want to detect are of many forms, you cannot configure them to expose things like SNMP, or you know little about them in advance.
Jeroen Wiert Pluimers You're right. I will use the MAC to get the manufacturer. That will be enough for now. I'll implement SNMP later to detect printer, routers and the like.
