Mit Netpeek und Netalertx stehen für Linux zwei Programme zur Verfügung, die auch Laien die Überwachung ihres Heimnetzwerks erleichtern. Beide sind recht schnell eingerichtet und für jeden Administrator verständlich.

NetPeek is GTK4/libadwaita app for fuss-free network scanning on Linux desktops. A user-friendly alternative to nmap for finding devices and open ports.

Hier soir, je suis tombé sur **NetPeek ** et franchement, ça m’a fait plaisir de voir qu’enfin quelqu’un s’attaque au problème de la complexité de nmap pour les utilisateurs normaux. NetPeek, c’est donc cette nouvelle application qui vient d’arriver sur Flathub et qui promet de simplifier drastiquement le scanning réseau sous Linux. Développée par ZingyTomato avec Python et GTK4/libadwaita, l’app adopte le design moderne de GNOME pour offrir une alternative graphique aux outils en ligne de commande comme nmap.

**Curious about what devices are connected to your local network? Beyond your laptop and phone, there may be a fair few chattering away to each other and the web at large — each a potential point of interest, or a vulnerability.** For many system admins and curious Linux users, mapping a local network often means firing up a _Terminal_ and using a command-line tool like `nmap` — a smart, capable choice for those who know what they’re doing, and why. Not everyone likes the terminal, so plenty of GUI network scanning apps are available for Linux. Angry IP and Nmap’s official GUI, Zenmap, are two of the best known open-source tools. But, again, those tools give info-dense readouts that casual users may find overkill and off-putting for trying to answer a simple question, like “what ports are open on which devices on my local network”. Which is where _NetPeek_ comes in. ## NetPeek is a Nifty Network Scanning App Clean and straightforward UI is a contrast to similar tools NetPeek is a modern network scanner for GNOME, built in Python with a GTK4/libadwaita interface. It is free, open-source software with code available on GitHub. The app pairs a simple, easy-to-understand interface with an equally set of features — to wit: it isn’t out to rival nmap et al, simply handle the basics: * **Network scanning** to find active devices on your network * **Port scanning** to see open ports on all detected devices * **Multi-threaded** for fast concurrent scanning * **Flexible input** with support for CIDR notation, IP ranges, and single IPs * **Automatic IP detection** to find your local IP range The IP of each device detected by NetPeek can be quickly copied your system clipboard for pasting/use elsewhere. IP addresses are shown in ascending order, which makes it easier to see devices between scans without them jumping around. NetPeek scan results is ordered and easy to understand And that is all there is to it. While network scanning apps are often used by hackers, they’re equally useful to anyone who wants to learn more about their own network to improve security, diagnose network issues, or generally nerd out doing network management in a homelab. Though, obviously, users should only probe networks they have permission to. Network scanning doesn’t have be a terminal-bound, terminally-intimidating task on Linux, as _NetPeek_ shows, meaning you don’t need to use dodgy ‘free’ mobile apps or or websites to get an easy-to-parse readout of what’s connected around you. **Get _NetPeek_ on Flathub**
