## What is LanternScan?

There's usually more smart devices around you than you think: a neighbour's speaker, a ring, a wifi plug you forgot about or a phone that isn't yours sitting on your WiFi.

LanternScan finds BLE and WiFi devices near you and tells you what it thinks they are. For each device you get a best guess at the make and model, plus the evidence behind that guess so you can decide for yourself whether it makes sense. Anything you recognise, mark as familiar. Anything you don't, flag it and monitor closely.

Features
- device recognition or best guess
- blacklist feature
- distance from the source (BLE only)
- advanced sensing with FingerBank (opt-in)
