nbtscan - NETBIOS nameserver scanner

A very useful tool to scan NetBios name instead of basic IP Scanning. A Linux / Network Admin must-have-tool. Thumbs Up!!!

This is a command-line tool that scans for open NETBIOS nameservers on a local or remote TCP/IP network, and this is a first step in finding of open shares. It is based on the functionality of the standard Windows tool nbtstat, but it operates on a range of addresses instead of just one. I wrote this tool because the existing tools either didn't do what I wanted or ran only on the Windows platforms: mine runs on just about everything.
