    Nmap may !seem! slow due to three things:

            1. you are trying to resolve reverse dns
            2. you are using a slow scan method
            3. the system you are using is SLOW

    * You can turn off dns resolution via the -n option

    * You can scan at different speeds using the -T option going from SLOW
    to FAST {Paranoid|Sneaky|Polite|Normal|Aggressive|Insane}

    To scan at the fastest speed possible, your command would like so:

    nmap -sP -T Insane -n x.x.x.x/8

    Hello List,

    I want to know if some tool is available for generating the Host-list in
    the LAN(nmap takes a long time for Class-A range.) .The extra feature I
    want is this tool should be capable of updating the list when new hosts
    come up in the LAN , and should delete the Hosts from the list which are
    not responding for a long time.

    How do I write such a utility, any pointers ? or any links for any such
    tool already available.

    Thankyou and regards
    Sonika
