Re: run nmap automatically from index.html (??)

Personally, I wouldn't depend on employees visiting a web page to
determine if unauthorized equipment is attached to the network.  While
spoofable, the best way to determine attachment is using MAC
addresses.  For nmap to accomplish this, it needs to be on the same
subnet as the target system.  Depending on network segmentation, this
may not be possible.

Aside from that, I would watch DHCP logs to determine when a new
system is added to the network.  In conjunction with regular nmap
sweeps, this should help find all of the systems on the network.

Just my 2 cents.

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
