active/passive address scanner using arp requests

The netdiscover tool is an active/passive address reconnaissance program, mainly developed to gain informations about wireless networks without dhcp servers in wardriving scenarios. It can also be used on switched networks. Built on top of libnet and libpcap, it can passively detect online hosts or search for them by sending arp requests. Furthermore, it can be used to inspect your network's arp traffic and find network addresses using auto scan mode which will scan for common local networks.
