nmap scan hosts for IP, MAC Address and device Vendor/Manufacturer

In the field, I needed to script a process to scan a specific vendor devices in the network. With the help of nmap, I got all the devices of that particular vendor, and started a scripted netcat session to download configuration files from a tftp server. This is the nmap loop (part of the script). You can however, add another pipe with grep to filter the vendor/manufacturer devices only. If want to check the whole script, check in http://pastebin.com/ju7h4Xf4 Show Sample Output

10.0.0.1 AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF (Vendor)
10.0.0.2 BB:CC:DD:EE:FF:AA (Manufacturer)
10.0.0.3 FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (Unknown)

simulates the DOS tree command that you might be missing on your Mac or Linux box

NOT MINE! Taken from hackzine.com blog. It creates a tree-style output of all the (sub)folders and (sub)files from the current folder and down(deeper) Quoting some of hackzine's words "Murphy Mac sent us a link to a handy find/sed command that simulates the DOS tree command that you might be missing on your Mac or Linux box. [..split...] Like most things I've seen sed do, it does quite a bit in a single line of code and is completely impossible to read. Sure it's just a couple of substitutions, but like a jack in the box, it remains a surprise every time I run it." Show Sample Output
