#### LAN Device Scanner - Discover Devices, MACs and Open Ports on Your Network

LAN Device Scanner discovers the devices connected to your local network and shows their IP address, hostname, MAC address, vendor and latency. A lightweight Linux alternative to Wireless Network Watcher for finding unknown devices on your Wi-Fi or LAN.

It performs a real scan of the local /24 subnet of each active interface (TCP connect and UDP probes that make the kernel resolve neighbours), then reads the kernel ARP table (/proc/net/arp), the routing table (/proc/net/route) and reverse DNS. Vendor names come from the OUI database when it is installed on the system, and randomized (private) MAC addresses are recognised.

Key Features:

* Devices tab: IP, hostname, MAC, vendor, interface, role (this computer / gateway / device) and latency.
* New-device alert: devices not seen in previous scans are highlighted as NEW (history kept in the app's data folder).
* Port Check tab: real TCP connect test of 22 common service ports on the selected device.
* Wake-on-LAN magic packet sender, copy IP/MAC and CSV export.
* Network tab with local interfaces, netmasks, default gateway and the live ARP table.
* Bilingual donate banner (Vietnamese / English).

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install LAN Device Scanner

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
