Inspecting WLAN and surrounding networks? That's for the passive types. If you really want to get the job done, you gotta go active and let those networks know you mean business.

Scanning the network? Nah, that's way too subtle. I want my wireless discovery tools to have the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Bring on the probe requests!

Broadcasting a probe request frame sounds like the right move to me. It's like throwing a net out there and seeing what you can catch. Simple, yet effective!

Definitely! It's like sending out a signal to see what responses you get back.

I think passive scanning is more about listening and observing the network traffic.

Active scanning? Yeah, that's where you're basically shouting 'Hey, anyone out there?' and waiting for the wireless networks to yell back. Gotta love that direct approach.
