Presence detection for your whole Network. Helps to keep an eye for new devices through an interactive web interface.
- Scans at a configurable interval or manually.
- Highlights the new unrecognized devices.
- Custom fields for personalise each device.
- Custom icons through Google Fonts.
- [TBD] Will send notifications on MQTT and Mail.
Sends ARP requests to get the IP and MAC of each device through the arp-scan command and for each offline device, it checks if it is actually offline with ICMP (ping). There were more pythonic ways to run the arp scan like the scapy, but the results on Linux were not so accurate.
Every ARP scan needs root permitions because it is using a promiscuous mode to monitor the network and create custom packages, so you need sudo to run this app.
The installation process is still on development, but the basic installation is as follows:
git clone https://github.com/bkbilly/mqtt-network-scanner.git /opt/mqtt-network-scanner
cd /opt/mqtt-network-scanner
vi config.yaml
sudo apt install arp-scan
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo cp networkscanner.service /etc/systemd/system/networkscanner.service
sudo systemctl enable networkscanner.service
sudo systemctl start networkscanner.serviceI wanted a tool like fing which could scan my network, but it doesn't support linux systems and I couldn't find any other easy to use alternatives.
