Mobile Intrusion Detection System -Deep Network Visibility, Mobile-First Stop wondering what's on your network. NetScanner gives you instant, detailed visibility into every device on your LAN with two scan modes: Turbo Scan - Sub-minute sweep of your subnet. ARP discovery + top ports (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, RDP). Fast enough to run on every WiFi connect. Deep Scan -Full protocol analysis across 60+ ports including Kubernetes API, Docker, Grafana, Prometheus, ESXi, databases, and message queues. Probes each web port for HTTP response headers and page titles. Discovers services via mDNS/Bonjour, SSDP/UPnP, LLMNR, NetBIOS, and WSD. Smart Device Tracking - Devices are assigned a permanent UUID on first discovery and matched across scans using weighted trait-based similarity scoring (hostname, Bonjour name, MAC, open ports, web server signatures, page titles, vendor, IP). No more lost devices when an IP changes or a service restarts. Change Detection & Alerts - Push notifications for new devices, IP changes, and devices going offline. Per-device change logs track every detected change with timestamps and old/new values. Devices offline for 7+ days are flagged for cleanup. Built for Home Labbers - Recognizes VMware ESXi, Kubernetes NodePorts, Docker, NFS, iSCSI, Grafana, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, and dozens more. Vendor identification from MAC OUI lookup. Auto-classifies Apple, Samsung, Google, Amazon, Raspberry Pi, and smart home devices. Privacy-First - Runs entirely on your device. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. Export your device list as JSON. Scheduled background scans with configurable intervals (1h / 6h / 24h). Multi-network aware - only scans the network you've selected. Authorize & Monitor - Mark trusted devices as verified. Nickname your devices. Spot the unknown ones instantly.
