your script gives a lot of false positives. Actually it supposedly finds client on every possible IP address ( which is not the case )

The following however works quite well with the latest beta ( 4.85Beta7 )
nmap –script=smb-check-vulns –script-args=safe=1 -p445 -d

where target is something like 192.168.1.2-254 ( 192.168.1.1 would be the gateway ).

I wrote a script that parses the nmap output and uses nbtscan to retrieve the netbios name. I wrote it for Linux, but it should be trivial for someone with scripting skills to adept to work with OS X.

DO NO RUN NMAP on your network if it’s professionally managed by IT staff. It’s a port scanner and in some work environments it can be cause for termination! In an enterprise network it will set off alarm bells in the NOC and they will hunt you down quick fast and in a hurry!

That being said, if your network is unmanaged and you feel you wouldn’t be fired for port scanning computers on the LAN then go ahead.
