<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAD"></A>


<PRE>
 Genlist is a program that returns a list of hosts that responding 
 to ping probes. Thus, this list can be used to perform an scan of 
 these machines using PBNJ or Nmap.

 Apart of PBNJ 2.0 suite of tools to monitor changes on a network.

<H2>EXAMPLE OF GENLIST USED WITH PBNJ</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAF"></A>


<PRE>
 $ ./genlist -s 10.0.0.\* &gt; iplist

</PRE>


<P>



<PRE>
 $ sudo ./scanpbnj -i iplist

</PRE>


<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>EXAMPLE OF GENLIST USED WITH NMAP</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAG"></A>


<PRE>
 $ ./genlist -s 10.0.0.\* &gt; iplist

</PRE>


<P>



<PRE>
 $ sudo ./nmap -iL iplist

</PRE>


<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>INPUT TYPE</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAH"></A>
<A NAME="lbAI">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>-s &lt;target&gt;  Ping Target Range ex: 10.0.0.*</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAI"></A>


<PRE>
 The ping scan is a useful method of only scanning the host that are 
 responding to ICMP echo requests. This scan basically takes the host 
 that respond to ping and prints them. This is useful in combining 
 the result with a PBNJ or Nmap scan because no time is wasted in 
 scanning hosts that do not respond.

</PRE>


<A NAME="lbAJ">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SCAN OPTIONS</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAJ"></A>
<A NAME="lbAK">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>--interface &lt;intface&gt;</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAK"></A>


<PRE>
 This option sets an alternative interface for performing the scan.
 This is useful when you have multiple interfaces on a machine
 with restrictions on which devices can access certain IP ranges.

</PRE>


<A NAME="lbAL">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>-n --nmap &lt;path&gt;</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAL"></A>


<PRE>
 Use an alternative Nmap rather than Nmap located in the your  path. 
 This is useful if you have multiple version of Nmap installed on
 a system or if you are testing a new version of Nmap. Remember that if
 you are using a newly compiled version of Nmap that you need to 
 export NMAPDIR to the location that Nmap was compiled in. Thus, if
 you have compiled Nmap in your homedir, use the following notation to
 run it with Genlist:

</PRE>


<P>



<PRE>
 $ export NMAPDIR=$HOME/nmap-VERSION/

</PRE>


<P>



<PRE>
 $ sudo genlist -s 10.0.0.\* --nmap $HOME/nmap-VERISON/

</PRE>


<A NAME="lbAM">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>General Options:</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAM"></A>
<A NAME="lbAN">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>-v --version</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAN"></A>


<PRE>
 Prints the Genlist version number and exits.

</PRE>


<A NAME="lbAO">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>-h --help  Display this information</H2>

<A NAME="ixAAO"></A>


<PRE>
 Prints a short help screen with the most common command flags.
 Running Genlist without any arguments does the same thing.

 reported.

</PRE>


<P>



<PRE>
 When reporting PBNJ bugs, it is important to include a reliable way to
 reproduce the bug, version number of PBNJ and Nmap, OS
 name and version, and any relevant hardware specs. And of course,
 patches to rectify the bug are even better.

 It should also be noted that PBNJ has occasionally been known to crash
 poorly written applications, TCP/IP stacks, and even operating systems.
 While this is extremely rare, it is important to keep in mind.  PBNJ
 should never be run against mission critical systems unless you are
 prepared to suffer downtime. We acknowledge here that PBNJ may crash
 your systems or networks and we disclaim all liability for any damage
 or problems PBNJ could cause.
