Network Intrusion Detection vs PocketAdmin

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.

The source of truth for every network you run, at work or in your homelab. Save a switch, server or NAS once, with its logins and a photo of the rack, and every tool picks it up: SSH, Pinpoint, Topology, Uptime Watch, Backup Jobs. No more retyping IPs across five apps. Every tool is free, with no account, no ads and no analytics. You pay only to share your sites with a team. Built by a working sysadmin. SEE YOUR NETWORK • Topology: a live map of how your switches connect, drawn from LLDP and CDP • Pinpoint: which switch port an IP, MAC or device is on, even by scanning its label with the camera • Port Map, SNMP and a port sheet that can shut a port, cycle PoE or set a label • LAN Scanner, IP Manager and Subnet Calculator • Syslog & Traps: receive device events live SERVERS & BACKUPS • Hypervisor: Proxmox, vSphere and Nutanix guests: power, snapshots, migrate and clone • Out-of-Band: iDRAC, iLO and other controllers over Redfish or IPMI: power, boot, sensors, event log and fault alerts • Backup Jobs: did last night's backups run? Veeam, Veeam 365, Proxmox, Nutanix, TrueNAS, Synology, Rubrik, Cohesity, Commvault, Unitrends, Acronis and Duplicati • Vulnerabilities: known CVEs for the firmware your gear actually runs • Configs, Hardware Inventory and Bulk Run: one command across every device REMOTE ACCESS • SSH: a real terminal that runs vim, top, htop and tmux, with SFTP, port forwards and a special-keys bar • RDP, VNC, Telnet and a REST client MONITORING • Uptime Watch: HTTP, TCP, ping, DNS and any SNMP value, with alerts, Site Mode and a Live Activity • Expiry Watch: certificates and domains before they lapse • Domain Health: SPF, DKIM, DMARC and DNSSEC DIAGNOSTICS • Ping, Traceroute, Test-NetConnection, nslookup, Port Scanner, Wake-on-LAN • HTTP / TLS Checker, Whois, MAC vendor lookup, SMTP test, Bonjour • DHCP Probe for rogue servers, Path MTU, NTP, and Packet Capture reader • iperf3 and Internet Speed Test WI-FI & FIELD TOOLS • Network Info, Latency and Traffic Monitors, Link Metrics, Bluetooth Scanner, Roaming Forensics • Coverage Map: walk a room and map Wi-Fi with LiDAR • AR Measure for cable runs, QR generator, NFC reader and sound level meter PASSWORDS & FILES • Passwords: logins with one-time codes, Wi-Fi you can join, SSH keys and API tokens, behind Face ID. Imports from Bitwarden • Files: manuals, contracts, photos and clips, filed under the site or device they belong to • Active Directory: search users, unlock accounts and reset passwords, through the open-source PocketAdmin directory backend (or try the built-in demo) TEAMS Share sites, devices, logins, files and monitors with your team. Everything syncs through iCloud, with passwords encrypted end to end. Roles, a shared activity history, and a notification when a teammate changes something. Your personal logins never leave your phone. Creating a team needs the Team subscription, monthly or yearly, and the first month is free. Joining a team someone else made is free. Payment is charged to your Apple ID and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. BUILT FOR THE JOB • Favorites, recent tasks, and hide the tools you don't use • App Lock with Face ID • Shortcuts action to check your monitors • Credentials kept in the iOS Keychain, never in plain text From ping to packets, SSH to subnets, PocketAdmin is your whole IT toolbox in one pocket.
