SYNOPSIS

mdns-scanner [options]

DESCRIPTION

mdns-scanner is a TUI application that scans local networks and maps IP addresses to their multicast DNS hostnames. It automatically discovers active devices on non-loopback network interfaces and resolves their addresses to mDNS hostnames or DNS-SD service instances.
The TUI displays discovered hosts in a navigable list with their IP addresses and resolved hostnames.

CAVEATS

Only discovers devices that respond to mDNS queries. Devices without mDNS support will not appear in results.

HISTORY

mdns-scanner was created by CramBL and is written in Rust.
