Universal Network Scanner is a multi-brand ultra-fast network discovery tool based on multicast and broadcast discovery. This network discovery scanner is implemented based on a flexible framework to ease implementation of any vanilla discovery IP protocol such as SSDP/UPnP, mDNS, proprietary discovery protocols, etc.

All the implementation is done during my free time and are my own work and released under the above LGPL license. All protocols are analysed by reverse engineering in territory of French Republic (France), by observation of network packet traffic and without any decompilation of code, in order to aim of system interoperability.

If you own some device that are currently in the implementation list, you can contact me if you want to help for technical tests. If you want to propose a new protocol, you can send me relevant data following this procedure.
Current helps is wanted for: Foscam cameras, Dlink cameras, Hid access control, Lantronix device (such as Vauban acces control).
If you have such devices, and are happy to help, please contact me.
