Quick and dirty network sweeps.. Angry IP Now for MAC / Linux

As everyone already knows nmap is the scanner of choice, unless perhaps you are performing simple scans from a Windows environment. In my experience running nmap from Windows is painful if you are used the speed you get while running it from unix. I would often suggest that Windows users move to a real OS (*nix based) or switch to a different scanner. The scanner I enthusiastically recommend is Angry IP, it's lightweight, free, and quick. While discuss scanners with a peer today I became aware that Angry IP has been ported to OS X and Linux. While this will have a smaller audience (due to the fact that nmap does such a great job here) it's still nice to have. My wife is an entry-leven network tech and she's mac based, so while she can use nmap, she does not share my passion for the CLI (understandibly) and while the nmap GUI is really nice, it's more function than she needs. So for a slick easy scanner I can recommend Angry IP for all platforms now.
