Free Cinema Tools: Device Discovery & MONITORING

[@intmarine]

Well Done James! Keep advancing this project. Perhaps another version could show you surreptitiously adding a wifi router to the system, something that might be done innocently by someone doing tests in a facility, or with malice by someone trying to get control of the system from outside the booth, or even facility if they were extremely clever. …then showing your system detecting it.

Umm. That's a little more advanced then the purpose of the tool. I would need to, of the top of my head, also do an arp table (ethernet IP to hardware address) inspection as any hacker trying to secretly jump onto a network would block any unneeded traffic like ICMP packets that could announce its presence easily. I would need tondo some homework to figure out the exact and best way to detect such a insidious devices...

Ok. I do remember looking I to this as I wanted to do this. I would need to do an arp-scan, and to do that I need direct access to the native ethernet device. Meaning I cannot to it from a container, which this tool is based on. An arp scan software needs to run natively on the system on the network. That would introduce an Incredibly amount of complexity and limitation to the software. So, not really possible.
