Description
Since NetBIOS discovery is not supported by Windows anymore, wsdd and wssd2 daemons make hosts to appear in Windows again using the Web Service Discovery method.
I'm listing both of them because, while they serve the same thing, the first is just a python script, while the second is C implementation, and one may be easier to port and maintain than the other.
