The command "nbtscan -f ${filename-txt}" is used to run the nbtscan tool with the option to read a list of IP addresses from a text file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"nbtscan": This is the command to run the nbtscan tool. Nbtscan is a tool used to scan NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT) protocol-enabled networks or hosts to gather information like IP addresses, MAC addresses, and more.
-
"-f": This is an option or flag for the nbtscan command. In this case, the "-f" option specifies that the nbtscan tool should read a list of IP addresses from a file instead of manually specifying them on the command line.
-
"${filename-txt}": This is a placeholder representing the name of the text file from which the nbtscan tool will read the IP addresses. It's written as "${filename-txt}" to indicate that you need to replace it with the actual filename and extension (e.g., "ip_addresses.txt") in your command. Make sure to provide the correct path to the file if it's in a different directory.
So, when you execute the command "nbtscan -f ${filename-txt}", the nbtscan tool will be invoked, and it will read the IP addresses from the specified text file.
