Broadcast Address Misinformation

Scan range: 192.168.1.127/25
Options: none of the additional resources

The resulting scan always lists the Broadcast address 192.168.1.127 as active,
(in my case) with the name belonging to IP 192.168.1.19 (name twice in the list) and
with the MAC address of the scanning Windows computer (MAC twice in the list).

This item "127" in the scanned list is shown as active (blue icon) but of course not reachable by ping.

In my opinion this entry should have no name or should be signed as broadcast, show something like FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as MAC address and maybe get an extra icon. Then it would be easier for everyone to understand.


Or you could leave it out completely which would at least be better than showing false information.

Consequently it could be a good idea to implement an extra check if the scanned data belong to any broadcast address.

At least it is easy to fill the list correctly in the case of a correctly given scan range like in my example.
