Re: [orca-list] ot ssh and accessibility

I agree with monitoring IP assignments via the router. How to do that
depends on your router.

In my case I'm running OpenWRT which writes logs into a fixed amount of
RAM and also provides a utility to read those logs called logread. Since
(presumably) we're looking for dhcp assigned addresses, we can see
addresses assigned while the target device boots like so:

logread -f |grep dhc

If your logs are systemd, you can apply a similar strategy by tailing
and filtering journalctl:

journalctl -o cat -f |grep dhc

The problem, imo, with the nmap approach is that it assumes a class C
address in a particular subnet. Perhaps that's an accurate
representation of the facts, but I suspect it's more an unwarranted
assumption. Unless you have reason to know the subnet is 192.168.1.*,
that range won't avail.

Best,

Janina
