This script scans a specified network, discovers hosts, and collects information about each host including IP address, MAC address, host name, and manufacturer. It prints the gathered data in a CSV-like format that can be redirected into a CSV file.
The ability to determine MAC addresses and Manufacturer is limited to scanning a locally attached LAN. You cannot collect this information from a distant subnet.

To run the script, use the following command:
poetry run python src\main.py <network>Replace <network> with the network you want to scan in CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24).
The script will print the information about discovered hosts in CSV format:
IP Address, MAC Address, Host Name, Manufacturer
192.168.1.1, 00:11:22:33:44:55, my-router, Netgear
192.168.1.2, 66:77:88:99:AA:BB, my-laptop, Dell
...
To save the output to a CSV file, you can redirect the output of the script to a file:
poetry run python src\main.py <network> > output.csvThis project is licensed under the terms of the MIT license.
