Net Scan is free, doesn’t have any ads, and the only in-app purchase is for donations to the developer. Net Scan doesn’t include any other tools, but for a quick network and port scan, this app is hard to beat. You can do either a quick port scan or a regular port scan (which allows you to specify ports to scan on a device). Once a network is discovered, you can issue a port scan on any listed device with just a couple of taps. The discovery will report name, IP address, MAC address, and device vendor (if available). Net Scan ( Figure B) is another network mapping and port scanning tool. Fing is free, but it does allow you to connect to a Fingbox account, where you can view your discovered networks anywhere. Once a network has been discovered, it is saved and can even be backed up to an SD card.
With Fing you can search attached devices by name, IP address, MAC address, Name, Vendor, and Notes. You can also run pings and traceroutes, perform DNS lookups, run a TCP connection tester, and even use Wake on LAN. But it doesn’t stop with just reporting the discovered devices. Fing will report IP address, name, and MAC address of each device found. Unlimited devices can be detected on an unlimited number of wireless networks. 1: Fingįing ( Figure A) offers one of the fastest ways to find out what devices are connected to your wireless network.

But which ones you should be using? I’ve dug into the realm of network scanners to find five that could easily wind up as your go-to mobile scanners. The Android ecosystem offers plenty of tools for network administrators. A network scan is a must and, fortunately, Android can comply. Out of nowhere your network can go five shades of wonky and you are at the other end of your campus–and the only tool you have on hand is your Android device. Things happen… especially when you’re not prepared. When you need to investigate network problems on the go, you'll be glad you have one of these mobile scanners handy.
