Whosthere

Very nice tool :-) It would be great it it could show the reverse lookup of the IPs as on my LAN everything has a name and if it hasn't then it is probably an interloper!

Looks great!! I had the same idea a few days ago and am so glad you posted this now! I will be using it and will let you know of any feedback. So far works great on my network!

Love it! I already have some ideas for additional improvements, might jump in and contribute a PR or two. Great work.

Have a look at the traffic on your network with tcpdump, you might be surprised what's going on even if you don't have IPv6 internet connectivity. But yeah, bigcorp managed…

But you've got to admit that OPs tool does it quicker, except if you like to memorize flags or already have a script specifically for this. And it's much nicer on the eye than…

It means it has a dependency on X11. ``` $ go install github.com/ramonvermeulen/whosthere@latest # golang.design/x/clipboard clipboard_linux.c:14:10: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No…

That has nothing to do with the UI framework. The X11 dependency comes as part of the clipboard integration (which I'd argue should be optional or even removed). Still, I…

this stopped me from go installing it too on nixos. I'm not gonna put the effort in to run it. There should be a build tag to disable clipboard, that'd be the easiest way around…

Using brew, I got "Apple could not verify `whosthere' is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy." [Move to Trash] [Done]

This looks great! I've been searching for something like this for ever. Some feedback of what I found on my network, as compared to some other scanners I've used. I've never seen…

Seems IPv4-only, which most LANs aren't since a good while.

Overall good work. I'd request an `-i` command-line parameter to specify the interface to scan (and I'd prefer ALL params being able to be read from command line params). I think…

That's correct. To avoid overloading the local network, the initial scan has a built-in safeguard: 1. It only scans the subnet of the configured network interface. 2. The scan is…

is the only way to export the results "run in daemon mode and curl yourself"?

In the current version yes, never intended to build it as pure cli app. But if there is a lot of interest in this functionality this is something I can focus on in upcoming…

Installed on raspbian, works wonders, much better than the thing i vibecoded yesterday. One feature I'd like: recording new arrivals to a log with all the info so it can be used…

I am not a golang user. If I install as recommended via `go` command on Linux how do I make sure it is updated when new versions are released? I wish it has a .deb package..

“go install” does not have an update mechanism. I imagine most people using it would consider such an anti-feature; it is not a package manager. I certainly don’t want programs I…

Why the X11 dependency if it's a TUI? I was expecting ncurses.

There's a famous quote: ``` Those who cannot remember nmap are condemned to remake it poorly ``` Rootless nmap scan of a /24 in under 10 seconds: ``` nmap -T5 -sn -PR --script…

That nmap command does the same thing as the author's command, except for the UI, for which there are dozens of nmap-uis available.

Looks great. Discovery.app is also useful if you’re mostly dealing with Apple / Bonjour-heavy networks. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discovery-dns-sd-browser/id1381004916
