While not the most popular scanner, the Angry IP Scanner was created by Anton Keks, and it is a tool that is very fast and can provide us with a listing of the IP addresses and live machines on the network. It is not installed by default on the Kali distribution, so the first thing we have to do is download the tool onto our Kali machine, navigate to http://angryip.org/download/#linux, and download the tool for the version of Kali that you have; the Debian package is the one you will need. Once you have downloaded the tool, you can install it with the dpkg
tool. Enter the following:
dpkg –i ipscan_3.3.3_amd64.deb
This will install the package on the machine; an example of the results of this is shown in the following screenshot:
Once the package is installed, the next thing to do is start the program. In a terminal window, enter the following:
ipscan
Once the program opens, it will default to the class C networking address of your eth0
interface, and for our purposes, this is acceptable. If you want to change it, then you can. Once you have configured the IP addresses that you want to scan, click on Start. An example of a completed scan is shown in the following image:
