Network Enumerators

Network Enumeration is the discovery of hosts/devices on a network, they tend to use overt discovery protocols such as ICMP and SNMP to gather information, they may also scan various ports on remote hosts for looking for well known services in an attempt to further identify the function of a remote host and solicit host specific banners. The next stage of enumeration is to fingerprint the Operating System of the remote host.  Whilst products that accomplish this are beyond the scope of this page, they can be found on the Active OS Fingerprinting Page.  Most vulnerability Scanners will also perform network enumeration task and a whole lot more, if you are looking for vulnerability scanners go to Network Mapping Tools
