Just an idea for nmap... A lot of admins and other fun ppl use nmap to scan their own networks looking for security issues and other stuff. When you're scanning at your own physical network layer you can see MAC addr's. So why not add a option to allow nmap to look these up? It's great fun to do so, as you can often get a lot of info. First of all, you're sure to get the type of network card in use (well, almost anyway), and often you can get a few pointers about the OS too. Just an idea... Friendly greetings, Terje Elde
