Radar
Find and identify every device on your Wi-Fi, with a signal finder.
Radar lists the devices on the network you are connected to, works out what each one is (camera, computer, phone, TV, printer, smart-home, router) and shows them on a phone-friendly page. A website cannot scan your network, so Radar is a small Python program you run on a device that is on that Wi-Fi. Nothing is installed and your device list never leaves your network.
Download wifi_scanner.pyAndroid phone (everything on the phone)
Install Termux and Termux:API from F-Droid, then in Termux:
pkg install -y python termux-api curl
curl -O https://radar.ackerworks.com/wifi_scanner.py
python wifi_scanner.py
Mac or Linux computer
curl -O https://radar.ackerworks.com/wifi_scanner.py
python3 wifi_scanner.py
Windows computer
Needs Python from python.org. In PowerShell:
curl.exe -O https://radar.ackerworks.com/wifi_scanner.py
python wifi_scanner.py
Then
Open the link it prints. Use the "From phone" link to view it on any phone on the same Wi-Fi (this is how to use it with an iPhone).
Good to know
- Only scan networks you own or are allowed to check.
- The signal finder measures from the device running Radar, and can only range devices that broadcast their own Wi-Fi radio (routers, extenders, many printers, cameras and TVs).
- Android hides hardware addresses, so scans run on the phone identify devices by name and services only. A computer scan also shows the hardware maker.
