Scanned Mac Information
Lansweeper scans Mac computers through the Secure Shell or SSH protocol, similar to other Unix based assets. When you enable SSH, a cryptographic network protocol, Lansweeper can run the system_profiler command on the asset. This System Profiler or System Information tool is a software utility which can gather technical data about installed hardware, devices, system settings and more.
