NetProbeX shows you what's actually on your network β€” not just that a device exists, but what it's running and what it's exposing. WHY NETPROBEX Most network scanners tell you "a device is here" and stop. NetProbeX goes further: tap any open port and see the exact raw data the service sends back, in hex and ASCII, just like a professional network tool. No other consumer scanner shows you this. Everything runs on your device. There's no account to create, no cloud backend, and nothing about your network is ever sent anywhere except the one optional, manual public-IP check you can trigger yourself. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ Discover every device on your Wi-Fi β€” routers, phones, laptops, printers, smart speakers, cameras β€” with real names via mDNS/Bonjour, not just IP addresses. β€’ Raw Response Inspector β€” tap an open port and see the exact bytes the service returns. Copy it, export it, or send your own custom probe. β€’ Hidden Camera Finder β€” scan for exposed RTSP/DVR camera ports, the kind hidden cameras and unsecured IP cameras commonly leave open. β€’ Router Vulnerability Check β€” a read-only look at whether your router has UPnP, NAT-PMP, or Telnet left open, the three most common home-router misconfigurations. β€’ Real diagnostics β€” actual ICMP ping and traceroute (not an approximation), DNS lookup, and an internet speed test. β€’ Wake on LAN β€” save a device's MAC once and wake a sleeping PC or NAS on demand. β€’ Rename, label, and hide devices β€” keep notes on a busy network so you can identify the culprit fast if something causes a slowdown or an IP conflict. β€’ Save scans and revisit them anytime. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CAN'T DO Apple restricts what any app β€” including NetProbeX β€” can see about other devices' real hardware (MAC) addresses, as a privacy protection. NetProbeX respects this rather than trying to work around it: device identification relies on network behavior, hostnames, and mDNS names, which is what makes NetProbeX reliable where other scanners overpromise. Built for anyone who's ever wondered "what is that device on my network?" β€” from home users curious about their smart devices to IT-minded people managing a busy office Wi-Fi.
