It queries devices for attributes such as MAC address, build version, CPU temperature, and system information, and logs results to a file. The script is optimized for embedded systems, using the `websockets` library for WebSocket communication (see `requirements.txt`).\n\nThis utility is intended for network administrators monitoring network performance and infrastructure health with NetScout’s nGeniusPULSE solution.\n\n## Features\n\n- Scans an IPv4 network for nGeniusPULSE devices with WebSocket port 8000 open.\n- Queries devices for attributes like MAC address, build version, and system status.\n- Supports filtering by MAC address suffix.\n- Logs detailed debugging information to `bigred_websocket.log`.\n- Outputs results to the console with customizable detail levels (0-9).\n- Supports English and Spanish output.\n- Uses asynchronous I/O (`asyncio`) for efficient scanning.\n- Provides verbose console output option for real-time feedback.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.6 or later.\n- Dependencies listed in `requirements.txt` (install with `pip install -r requirements.txt`).\n- Access to the target network.\n- Write permissions for the log file.\n- Network configured for bridged connections (for VMs).\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Install Python 3.6 or later on your system.\n2. Clone or download the project repository.\n3. Install dependencies:\n   ```bash\n   pip install -r requirements.txt\n   ```\n4. Ensure the script has executable permissions:\n   ```bash\n   chmod +x BigRedWebSocketClient.py\n   ```\n\n## Usage\n\nRun the script with optional command-line arguments:\n\n```bash\n./BigRedWebSocketClient.py -i 192.168.1.0/24\n```\n\n### Command-Line Options\n\n- `-i, --network NETWORK`: IPv4 network in CIDR notation (default: 129.196.196.0/23).\n- `-m, --mac-filter MAC`: MAC address suffix filter (e.g., 330030).\n- `-t, --timeout SECONDS`: Timeout in seconds (default: 0.10).\n- `-d, --display-level LEVEL`: Info level (0=minimal, 9=full; default: 0).\n- `-l, --language {EN,ES}`: Language (EN=English, ES=Spanish; default: EN).\n- `-v, --version`: Display the script version (3.0.1).\n- `--verbose`: Enable verbose console output.\n\n### Example Commands\n\nScan the 192.168.1.0/24 network with default settings:\n\n```bash\n./BigRedWebSocketClient.py -i 192.168.1.0/24\n```\n\nScan with a MAC filter and verbose output:\n\n```bash\n./BigRedWebSocketClient.py -i 192.168.1.0/24 -m 330030 --verbose\n```\n\nScan with Spanish output and full detail:\n\n```bash\n./BigRedWebSocketClient.py -i 192.168.1.0/24 -l ES -d 9\n```\n\n## Output\n\n- **Log File**: `bigred_websocket.log` contains detailed debug and info messages, including scan progress, errors, and a summary.\n- **Console Output**: Displays discovered nGeniusPULSE devices with attributes based on the display level.\n\nExample console output (display level 0):\n\n```\nScan IP Network: 192.168.1.0/24\nScan Begin Addr: 192.168.1.1\nScan End Addr:   192.168.1.254\n\nIP Address= 192.168.1.100\nMAC Address= 00:c0:17:33:00:30\nBuild Version= 2.1.3\n\nDONE\nTotal nGeniusPULSE devices found= 1\n```\n\n## Project Structure\n\n```\nbigred-websocket-client/\n├── archive/\n│   └── v2.10/\n│       └── BigRedWebSocketClient.py  # Original script (version 2.10)\n├── BigRedWebSocketClient.py          # Current script\n├── requirements.txt                  # Dependency list\n├── README.md                         # Project documentation\n├── changelog.txt                     # Version history\n└── .gitignore                        # Git ignore rules\n```\n\n- The `archive/v2.10/` folder contains the original script for reference.\n- The root folder holds the active development files.\n\n## Development\n\n### Installation for Development\n\n```bash\ngit clone \u003crepository-url\u003e\ncd bigred-websocket-client\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n### Versioning\n\nVersioning and changelog updates are automated via release-please using Conventional Commits.\nNo manual version bump script is required.\n\n### Git Workflow\n\n- **Branches**:\n  - `main`: Stable, production-ready code.\n  - `develop`: Integration branch for new features and fixes.\n  - Feature/bugfix branches: Named `feature/\u003cname\u003e` or `bugfix/\u003cname\u003e`.\n- **Commit Messages**:\n  - Format: `\u003ctype\u003e(\u003cscope\u003e): \u003cdescription\u003e`\n  - Types: `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `refactor`, `chore`.\n  - Example: `feat(scanning): Add IPv6 support`\n\n## Notes\n\n- **WebSocket Dependency**: The script uses the `websockets` library (see `requirements.txt`). Ensure it’s installed or bundled for embedded systems.\n- **Original Script**: The original version (2.10) is archived in `archive/v2.10/` for reference. It relies on `websocket-client` and `netaddr`, which are not used in the current version.\n- **Async I/O**: The script uses `asyncio` for efficient scanning, suitable for large networks.\n- **Log File**: The log file is overwritten on each run to manage storage.\n- **Interrupt Handling**: Use `Ctrl+C` to stop scanning gracefully.\n\n## Known Limitations\n\n- Only IPv4 networks are supported.\n- No support for IPv6 or non-WebSocket protocols.\n- The `uptime` query is disabled due to incorrect system clock reporting.\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis script is maintained by Kris Armstrong.
