arp-scan:tldr:0c7b0
The command "arp-scan ${192-168-1-1}/${24}" is using the arp-scan tool to scan the range of IP addresses in the 192.168.1.1 network using a CIDR notation.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
"arp-scan": This is the name of the tool being used, which is arp-scan. It is a command-line utility used to discover and scan MAC addresses and associated IP addresses on a local network.
-
"${192-168-1-1}/${24}": This part of the command specifies the IP address range to scan. The IP address range is expressed using CIDR notation.
-
"192-168-1-1" represents the base IP address from where the scan will start. In this case, it is the IP address 192.168.1.1.
-
"/${24}" represents the CIDR notation for the subnet mask. The number 24 indicates that the first 24 bits of the IP address represent the network portion, while the remaining 8 bits are reserved for host addresses. This means that the scan will cover all IP addresses in the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255, where the last octet can vary from 1 to 255.
