PasswordSafe Discovery Scan returns IP instead of hostname

I would verify if reverse DNS is functioning correctly for the targets that are being acquired with IP addresses as their Asset Names vs targets that are being added correctly with their hostnames as the Asset Names.

Yeah, so none of the devices have reverse DNS entries. During the scans it can resolve the hostnames,  that means the hostname is in fact associated with the IP address but then it creates an Asset with IP Address as asset name.  Is there any way we can turn off the reverse DNS checks for at least lest say IP discovery scan (and even for SSH proxy ).

I have the same question: Is there any way we can turn off the reverse DNS checks?

Any update on this?

Hi,

How to filter assets without hostname from discovery process | Community

Hi.

I've also seen this happen when Discovery Scan didn't have credentials defined that allow access to the assets presented as IP addresses. What are the Discovery Scan credentials?

​@feralton  We are running just the IP discovery scans which do not require any credential

Hi ​@bt101 .

Using IP Discovery does not guarantee that the FQDN of the assets will be discovered. If the FQDN of the assets is important to you, I recommend performing a test by creating a Discovery scan with credentials and checking the result.

Best regards.
