In Depth Network Discovery Made Easy Using RunZero

[@muzogoba1618]

Thank you for exposing us to such great products. I single-handedly manage 60 users over 3 sites. This will be great a great time saver considering I picked the IT department with no handover from the previous admin. I love your content.

[@Champo0]

Looks really nice, might take a look at it later. You might also want to take a look at Lansweeper if you never have. The new cloud version is pretty but the legacy one can be hosted locally which is preferable from a security perspective. It also is a very powerful agentless scanner, so no need to install anything on the clients. Build in deployment and helpdesk is nice but rudimentary, what's really powerful is the report system which can automatically trigger emails when configured. I just recently started to use it at work and am a fan now.

[@skorpion1298]

We went the Docusnap way. Very awesome.

[@jamesreichert5637]

Really interesting use case put this together with nucleus.... to get a risk based vulnerability, management view ( you need to also feed nucleus with your vulnerability management tool) but it's a call out that goes hand in hand with this tool we'll worth mentioning.

[@BradBazooka]

Rumble (now RunZero) has been a life saver for me. I'm not shocked, but I'm disappointed in the number of comments that are upset that this thing isn't free. Yes, Tom home labs, but he also has a business. Tools like this are huge time savers. I actually use the free version of this and it's super helpful. I have to scan one /24 subnet at a time, but that's okay. Tom: Thank you for sharing Rumble when you did.

[@leeblack2103]

Ive been running Rumble for a year.....i love it!

[@TheCreat]

Just a quick heads up: At 3:49 you didn't black out your personalized explorer link properly. At the end of the segment, the hash (or whatever it is) is visible, so that I could pause and read it fine. I don't know what exactly that does, and if it's a problem, just thought I'd let you know.

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

Thanks

[@erikcarlin9538]

Rumble didn't do serial numbers before. Is that a possibility now?

[@michaelsims7728]

Nice, tested found all devices on scan very cool program. Look forward to more testing with in my lab. Thanks Tom!

[@ask_carbon]

Anyone know why the minimum requirements for the agent were increased? Was using rumble on a 1 gb VM and now it refuses to launch/scan/deploy due to ram limit.

[@ctyl5686]

Please be careful running Rumble on a home network with consumer low power grade routers/firewalls, as when I tried and almost immediately, a significant number of devices each lost their network connection, until I rebooted my router (which is also the DHCP server). Other tools including NMap and LanSweeper did not have a similar problem. RunZero were very good and replied with the following advice - "When people have trouble with Rumble knocking multiple devices offline, it's usually because they are scanning through some sort of stateful router or firewall. Unlike (say) nmap, Rumble probes large numbers of IP addresses in parallel. Devices which try to track all connections can end up running out of memory to do so, and low end devices often crash rather than dropping the oldest connections".

[@cloudcultdev]

I would love to use this in my home lab, but the $99/month fee is a stopping point. I have a decent home lab with VMs and Kubernetes. I have more than 256 endpoints. I would really like to find alternatives to products that include monthly sub fees.

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

NMAP

[@davkas19]

Trial lansweeper and monitor with prtg?

[@jordanshim380]

Advanced IP scanner and/or Nmap will do 90% of what you need this for just without the frills

[@cloudcultdev]

@@jordanshim380 Yeah, I use nmap all the time...which is great. It would be nice to have a webui that does a constant inventory/map of network devices. There was a project a few years back called Webmap, but development really fell off the map for some reason. I don't think there's been anything good ever since, although I can see a nice opportunity for something now (esp with all the new interest in eBFP-based utilities).

[@clomok]

Agreed, NMAP cronjob

[@afikzach]

nice tool, super nmap! i wounder if there a way to let it listen to all the vlan's in the network? i haven't found this option in the configurations...

[@quank32]

Prices just shot up. Curious if this effects anyone's opinions

[@JamesWimmer]

I was circling back around to this product, I had tested it last year after seeing this video and really like it and thought the price was excellent. Just went back and see the new pricing model and it is an absolute NO for me. The product is great, but they've priced themselves where my company simply will not spend this.

[@jamgotr]

Love RunZero

[@bleeb1347]

Went to the website and watched their pitch video. “No agents” is one of the first things they say in the video, and the first thing you show us is agent deployment. Lol. But in all seriousness, $490/mo for 5,000 assets? Nah. Too high when Spiceworks does 85% of what this tool does for free, or 10% the cost. Neat mapping tool, though. I’d use this just for the mapping if it were free, but if I’m managing 5,000 devices I’m not paying for this on top of my managed services platform. Unless….have you started using this as your main MSP tool for RMM?

[@xdeathoreox]

Curious how spiceworks does all of this for free or 10% of the cost. If you don't know how to utilize it, it is a lot.

[@bleeb1347]

@@xdeathoreox are you asking how spiceworks does it? Or are you saying I’m incorrect? I used spiceworks for years when I ran my own MSP, in multi site mode, and it was beautiful. I also tried NAGIOS, but even after dumping 80+ hours into it, it still didn’t perform quite like spiceworks did. I ended up using spiceworks for all my deployments, paid the laughably low cost of rebranding it, and charged all of my customers a much lower monitoring fee than all of my competitors as a result.

[@antaishizuku]

Tom! at 3:48ish it shows that key you hid for half a second at the end!

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

Oops, guess I have to delete that my lts office ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@antaishizuku]

@Lawrence Systems lols glad we found it! :)

[@markstanchin1692]

Do you know of a tool that will show if a device is DHCP or static IP address without looking into every device?

[@gaston-alegre-stotzer]

List the DHCP leases in the DHCP server?

[@rajivvishwa]

I have a different range for DHCP vs static so easy to identify looking at the IPs

[@vgamesx1]

Yeah, agree with Rajiv the easiest thing is to set a dhcp range of let's say 10 to 50, then you know anything over 50 is static and if you want to can take it step further by setting a static IP based on its usage, for example using 51-99 for cameras/IoT devices, 100-199 for personal devices and 200-255 for misc stuff such as your homelab, it helps keep a mental image of what's on your network.

[@johnstutz4458]

"I couldn't resist" Lol

[@sammo7877]

Google take note "Google Talking Box" you heard it here first

[@LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

I am just going to call it that going forward.

[@Verzox]

Holy shit. this is amazing.

[@ws6619]

wow, pretty mature tool

[@bleeb1347]

Can I use this *JUST* for my switches and routers in my network? Or will it add all of the PCs as assets and run up the bill? Edit: And does it do discovery of SD-WAN appliances? How about the pathing of SD-WAN? For my multi-site customers.

[@Stephen-wh7vl]

Love this tool.

[@berndeckenfels]

Too bad it does no vuln scanning

[@Crazy--Clown]

Overpriced
