Research direction
No repository file or test is named; begin by locating the Bash entry point responsible for host discovery. Review the requested history, ARP table, NIC and private ranges, /etc/hosts, and iptables sources, then check each discovered host with ssh-keygen -F against ~/.ssh/known_hosts. Done means the requested IPs and hosts are gathered and matching known_hosts entries are identified.
