react-native-lan-port-scanner

A simple port scanner for react native.

Installation

This package requires react-native-tcp as dependency. Please follow below steps to install:

yarn add gajjartejas/react-native-tcp react-native-lan-port-scanner

or

npm install gajjartejas/react-native-tcp react-native-lan-port-scanner

after you have to install pods

npx pod-install

For Android

You have to add below permission to AndroidManifest.xml file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

For iOS

Make a sure you have to add NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads to localhost in case of insecure connection info.plist.

<dict>
  <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
  <dict>
    <key>localhost</key>
    <dict>
      <key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
      <true/>
    </dict>
  </dict>
</dict>

Usage

Scan network's hosts with specific ports

import LanPortScanner, { LSScanConfig } from 'react-native-lan-port-scanner';

//Returns `LSNetworkInfo`
const networkInfo = await LanPortScanner.getNetworkInfo();
const config1: LSScanConfig = {
  networkInfo: networkInfo,
  ports: [80, 8085], //Specify port here
  timeout: 1000, //Timeout for each thread in ms
  threads: 150, //Number of threads
};

//OR

const ipRange = ['192.168.1.1', '192.168.1.112'];
let config2: LSScanConfig = {
  ipRange: ipRange, //If you provide this params then it will only scan provided ipRange.
  ports: [80, 8085], //Specify port here
  timeout: 1000, //Timeout for each thread in ms
  threads: 150, //Number of threads
};

//Either config1 or config2 required
const cancelScanHandle = LanPortScanner.startScan(
  config1, //or config2
  (totalHosts: number, hostScanned: number) => {
    console.log(hostScanned / totalHosts); //Show progress
  },
  (result) => {
    console.log(result); //This will call after new ip/port found.
  },
  (results) => {
    console.log(results); // This will call after scan end.
  }
);

//You can cancel scan later
setTimeout(() => {
  cancelScanHandle();
}, 5000);

To scan specific host with port

//Returns `LSSingleScanResult`
let result = await LanPortScanner.scanHost('192.168.1.1', 80, 1000);

To get network info

//Returns `LSNetworkInfo`
const networkInfo = await LanPortScanner.getNetworkInfo();

Types

LSScanConfig

Used to scan multiple hosts/ports.

Property	Type	Description
networkInfo	LSNetworkInfo	Contains ip address and subnet mask to scan.
ports	number[] or undefined	Ports to scan, default: [80, 443]
timeout	number or undefined	Timeout for each thread in ms, default: 1000 ms
threads	number or undefined	Number of threads, default: 150
logging	boolean	Enable or disable logging, default: false

LSNetworkInfo

Used to generate ip ranges for scanning.

Property	Type	Description
ipAddress	string	IP Address
subnetMask	string	Subnet mask

LSNetworkInfoExtra

Contains ip ranges for scanning purpose.

Property	Type	Description
ipAddress	string	IP Address
subnetMask	string	Subnet mask.
subnetConv	string or null	A CIDR prefix length for a valid IPv4 netmask or null if the netmask is not valid.
firstHost	string	The network address for a given IPv4 interface and netmask in CIDR notation.
lastHost	string	The broadcast address for a given IPv4 interface and netmask in CIDR notation.
firstHostHex	string	First host address in hex representation.
lastHostHex	string	Last host address in hex representation.
ipRange	string[]	Array of ip addresses.

LSSingleScanResult

Returns after host/port found.

Property	Type	Description
ip	string	IP Address
port	number	Subnet mask

LSScanResult

Returns after scan complete.

Property	Type	Description
ip	string	IP Address
ports	number[]	Subnet mask

Methods

getNetworkInfo()

Returns LSNetworkInfo object.

Example:

const networkInfo = await LanPortScanner.getNetworkInfo();

getNetworkInfo()

Takes LSNetworkInfo and scan all hosts for specified ports.

generateIPRange()

Takes LSNetworkInfo, generates ip address, ports array and return LSNetworkInfoExtra object.

Example:

const networkInfo = await LanPortScanner.getNetworkInfo();
const ipRangeInfo = generateIPRange(config.networkInfo);

scanHost()

Scan single host with port, returns LSSingleScanResult

Example:

const result = await LanPortScanner.scanHost('192.168.1.1', 80, 1000);

TODO

• Better scan handling and canceling.
• Add abort signal for cancelling.
