My IP address is 172.20.35.3, I'm trying nmap -sn 172.20.35.100
and monitoring the traffic using wireshark. The ping is successful, however wireshark only shows a DNS query request sent from 172.20.35.3 to the DNS server and the DNS replies with no such name! Monitoring the traffic on my target IP address shows no incoming frames. So I'm curious about where nmap
is getting the information from (MAC address for instance).
P.S: I thought nmap
might be simply searching in the ARP table for a suitable entry. So I tried again after flushing the ARP table, but the result was the same.
