Since when?

If I'm auditing an intrusion detection system on my LAN, I would consider that I'm penetration testing, not performing a vulnerability assessment.

Hello Jure,

Performing scans from within target LAN is called Vulnerability
Assessment, and doing the same thing from other LAN or outside IP
Address/Addresses is called Penetration Testing.

I have clearly mentioned that the scenario is applicable for
Pen-Testing. Kindly suggest the same answer from Pen-Testing point of
view.

Thanks for your suggestion. This suggestion will be usefull for
Vulnerability Assessors.

Hello List,

I need some suggestions and inputs from all Pen-testers around the
world on this issue.

Hello Nikhil,

if you are on the same LAN as machines you do pentest, you should try
arpping.

Regards

      Jure
