So in summary,
the goal of this module was to show you how to use
PowerShell for network discovery.
To do this,
we utilized multiple approaches to pinging
individual and multiple network devices,
everything from using standard ping commands to WMI to API
namespaces from .NET to even using the standard
out‑of‑the‑box PowerShell commands that exist.
We then went one step further and retrieved details from those
identified network devices, such as the name,
even retrieving things like the MAC address and the vendor.
And then we put all of that together and created an asset list of
those network devices, which we can then utilize going forward as we
want to interrogate those devices further.
Our next module will focus on enumerating services and processes on
those devices that we put into the asset list.
