    Abstract: A set of possible device IP addresses is determined. The list of IP devices is pinged and split into responsive and unresponsive devices. The responsive devices are scanned to determine which provide administrative access rights. Of those devices that provide administrative access, the devices are further separated into managed and unmanaged devices. The unmanaged devices are scanned for specific software and services, including if those software and services are the most current or up-to-date versions. An administrator may then be presented with a network report based on the scan at the level of detail desired by the user.
