Network Intrusion Detection

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.

Description: AI Diagnostics — Describe the problem. Get the answer. Something's wrong with your network but you're not sure where to start? Just type or speak what's happening. The AI diagnostics assistant analyzes your problem, selects the right tools, runs them on your device, and explains the results in plain English. Tell it "I can't connect to my work VPN" and it will ping your VPN server, check DNS resolution, probe the required ports, trace the route, and tell you exactly where the connection breaks — whether it's a DNS misconfiguration, a blocked port, or a routing issue. Ask "Why is my internet so slow?" and it measures latency, checks for packet loss, tests download speed, scans for WiFi interference, and identifies the bottleneck. The assistant uses 18 diagnostic tools under the hood: ping, traceroute, DNS queries (A, AAAA, MX, NS, CNAME, TXT, SOA, PTR), TCP port probing, WHOIS lookups, TLS certificate inspection, HTTP security header checks, CORS validation, subdomain enumeration, directory scanning, email security checks, wireless scanning, and local device stats. It chains multiple tools together automatically — a single question might trigger a ping, a traceroute, a port scan, and a DNS check without you naming a single command. Choose on-device mode for complete privacy (Apple's model runs locally, your data never leaves your device) or cloud mode for deeper reasoning with a more capable model. AI SSH Client — Speak to your servers in plain language. SSH into any Linux or macOS server and tell the AI agent what you need. It translates your goal into the correct shell commands, runs them, and explains the results — no memorizing flags or syntax. Tap one of the quick-start tasks or just type: "Find files over 500MB on this server," "Check which services failed to start," "Show me disk usage on every mount," or "List the top 10 processes eating memory." The agent runs the right commands (find, systemctl, df, ps) and explains what each result means. It handles multi-step workflows — "Install nginx and configure it to serve on port 8080" becomes a sequence of commands it executes and verifies step by step. Use your voice to speak commands naturally. Real-time speech recognition transcribes into terminal input, and the agent interprets intent even when you're imprecise. Say "make sure the server's firewall isn't blocking port 3000" and the agent checks iptables rules directly. SSH connections sync across your devices when signed in, so your server list follows you from Mac to iPhone to iPad. Everything Else You Need Ping hosts, trace routes with geolocation, resolve DNS records, query WHOIS registration data, scan port ranges, test your download and upload bandwidth, discover every device on your local network, and analyze WiFi signal quality — all from one app. Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with full iPad multitasking support. • Privacy first: on-device AI never sends your data anywhere. No tracking, no analytics. • Sign in with Apple for optional cloud AI and connection sync. • Free to use with all diagnostic tools included. NetworkTools is for anyone who needs to know what's happening on their network — whether you run servers, fix WiFi for family, or just want to understand why a website won't load.
