The Take

LAN Detection and Custom Scan modes combine ICMP, ARP and TCP socket checks to quickly enumerate hosts and probe common ports, plus exportable TXT logs and a Windows EXE for non‑Python users. It’s a handy, pragmatic tool for quick local audits or lab work; not groundbreaking (nmap/masscan still win for deep fingerprinting or high-performance scanning) but convenient and easy to drop into workflows.

Target Audience

System administrators, IT/security professionals, and network hobbyists who want a lightweight local scanner

Post Description

Its designed for ethical diagnostics and administrative auditing.

Cross-platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
