Thread: hostnames with Nmap for Conky?

i'm not sure if right forum this, seeing how beginner awk, nmap , conky, think might place.

i'm trying setup basic security system our open wireless channel. i've decided try use nmap detect new hosts , conky report it. i've got simple works ok:

${execi 100 nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 | awk -f " |/" '/report/ {print $5;}'}

however, tested firing windows 7 machine doesn't have more exotic windows security essentials, not show in host list. read suggestion perhaps it's rejecting pings, able find nmap -pn, doesn't work subnet scan- never reports back.

can ip report hosts, i'd rather grab hostname because system relies on me identifying hostnames sight.
considering dumping periodically table, if did that, @ minimum want both ip , hostname, whole other kettle of fish.

else doing this, or point me in right direction more comprehensive scan results? don't need told exact thing, pointing out obvious missed appreciated.

in advance.

i like

code:

sudo arp-scan -i wlan0 192.168.1.0/24|grep -o $'^[0-9.]*\t'|xargs -d\\n -i@ sh -c 'echo "$0\c"; host -i $0|awk "{print \$nf}"' @
