#### Find devices on your local network - IPs, MACs, names and services

LAN Device Scanner is a Linux alternative to Advanced IP Scanner. It discovers
the devices on your local network using real network probes and shows their IP,
MAC address, host names and open services.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by Famatech Corp.

FEATURES (all implemented with real sockets, no sample data):
• Auto-detects your local subnets from /proc/net/route and the interface addresses
• Parallel discovery: unprivileged ICMP echo (when the kernel allows it), non-blocking
TCP connect probes on configurable ports, plus the kernel ARP cache for MAC addresses
(also finds hosts that drop every probe but answer ARP)
• Names: reverse DNS, NetBIOS name table query (UDP 137) and mDNS unicast PTR query
• Services: HTTP/HTTPS page titles and Server header, SSH/FTP/Telnet/SMTP banners,
SMB 445, RDP 3389 and other open TCP ports
• MAC vendor names are shown only when a real IEEE OUI file exists on the host
(e.g. the ieee-data package); no built-in vendor list
• Favourites with live re-check, Wake-on-LAN magic packets, CSV export
• Open a device in the browser (http/https) or the file manager (smb://) via xdg-open
• Interfaces, routing table and ARP/neighbour cache viewer

NOTES: ICMP ping needs net.ipv4.ping\_group\_range to include your group (default on
Ubuntu); otherwise TCP + ARP discovery is used. Opening smb:// links depends on the
desktop's URL handler; the link is always copied to the clipboard.

## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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

Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.

The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command:

```
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
```

Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended:

```
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

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