Zenmap - part of net-analyzer/nmap can do that for you. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
It lists all hosts found. When clicked you can access their scan data. |
| 38 |
You can import & export those scans in a XML format. It draws a |
| 39 |
topological chart of the network. It uses only circles as icons, so it's |
| 40 |
not apt for presentations, but to get a quick overview. It's handy to |
| 41 |
make a thorough scan at customers and make its export accessible to your |
| 42 |
colleagues in your admin-firm. |
