Lunar Defense helps you understand the security of your device without sacrificing your privacy. Run a sweep at any time to verify device integrity, inspect your network environment, and identify signs that may indicate tampering, interception, or unauthorized modification. Check a suspicious link or scan a QR code before you tap through. Every result includes a clear explanation of what was checked, what was found, and what it means. Unlike many security products, Lunar Defense performs its analysis directly on your device. Your scan results and personal information stay on your phone. FEATURES • Device Integrity Checks Verify that key iOS security protections appear intact and look for indicators commonly associated with jailbreaks, code injection, debugging, or other forms of device tampering. • Network Security Analysis Inspect your current network environment for proxies, VPN-related interception indicators, and secure connection validation issues. Trust a VPN or proxy you use on purpose? Mark it as approved so it stops showing up as a concern. • Link & QR Code Checker Paste in a link that looks off, or scan a QR code before you visit where it leads, and Lunar Defense checks it on your device first. Add the surrounding message text for a closer read. Nothing about the link or message leaves your phone. Requires a device that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on. • Clear Security Reports See exactly what was checked, what was found, and why it matters. Every finding includes plain-language explanations and recommended next steps. • Privacy-First Design Analysis is performed on-device. Scan results are not uploaded or shared. WHAT LUNAR DEFENSE IS AND ISN’T Lunar Defense helps identify indicators that may suggest security risks on an iPhone. It does not claim to detect every possible threat, and a clean scan should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a device is completely secure. Instead, Lunar Defense provides transparent, evidence-based security verification designed to help you make informed decisions about your device’s security. Built by security professionals. Designed for everyone. Lunar Defense Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

About

NetProbeX

NetProbeX shows you what's actually on your network — 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 • Discover every device on your Wi-Fi — routers, phones, laptops, printers, smart speakers, cameras — with real names via mDNS/Bonjour, not just IP addresses. • Raw Response Inspector — tap an open port and see the exact bytes the service returns. Copy it, export it, or send your own custom probe. • Hidden Camera Finder — scan for exposed RTSP/DVR camera ports, the kind hidden cameras and unsecured IP cameras commonly leave open. • Router Vulnerability Check — a read-only look at whether your router has UPnP, NAT-PMP, or Telnet left open, the three most common home-router misconfigurations. • Real diagnostics — actual ICMP ping and traceroute (not an approximation), DNS lookup, and an internet speed test. • Wake on LAN — save a device's MAC once and wake a sleeping PC or NAS on demand. • Rename, label, and hide devices — keep notes on a busy network so you can identify the culprit fast if something causes a slowdown or an IP conflict. • Save scans and revisit them anytime. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CAN'T DO Apple restricts what any app — including NetProbeX — 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?" — from home users curious about their smart devices to IT-minded people managing a busy office Wi-Fi.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NetProbeX at none against Lunar Defense Mobile Security's 2. NetProbeX also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Lunar Defense Mobile Security's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
