Mark,

I think you should look at NTOP (ntop.org). If you run ntop prior to
pen-test on a span port, you should be able to get a better glimpse of
traffic and network before engaging your analysis. Etherape is another
tool of choice prior to network mapping.

Hi all,
I thought Cheops would do this, but it doesn't do as well as I thought.
I want to find out what computers are connected to which switches. I
don't care if it tells me what type of switch it is, but accurately tell
me what IP addresses are hanging off it. Is there a mapping software
out there that will discover this stuff?

Thanks!
