How to get all the details of a device using IP address in Linux/Ubuntu ?

Install nmap on Ubuntu,

$ sudo apt-get install nmap

Now, if you know the IP address of the machine whose details you want to know, use that IP in below command, in our case its 192.168.1.105 ( you can replace this, with IP you want )

$ nmap -v -Pn -A 192.168.1.105
