PistonScan

About

PistonScan is a cross-platform network scanner built with Wails (Go + React). It provides comprehensive network discovery using multiple protocols for device detection, service fingerprinting, and security assessment.

Core Network Probes

  • ICMP Echo (Ping) - Host reachability and latency measurement with TTL-based OS fingerprinting
  • ARP Sweep - MAC address resolution and manufacturer identification via OUI lookup
  • TCP Connect Scans - Service detection on common ports with banner grabbing
  • UDP Port Probes - UDP service detection (DNS, DHCP, SNMP, SSDP, etc.)

Service Discovery Protocols

PistonScan supports multiple discovery protocols for maximum compatibility across different platforms:

  • DNS - Standard DNS reverse lookups (all platforms)
  • mDNS/Bonjour - Zero-configuration networking (macOS, iOS, Android, Windows 10+, Linux)
  • DNS-SD - Service discovery with 30+ service types (cross-platform)
  • NetBIOS (NBNS) - Windows name resolution, also via Samba on Linux
  • LLMNR - Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (Windows, some Linux)
  • SSDP/UPnP - Universal Plug and Play device discovery (routers, printers, IoT devices)
  • SNMP v1/v2c - Network device management protocol queries with common community strings
  • TLS Certificate Inspection - Extract certificate details from HTTPS services

For detailed information about each protocol, see PROTOCOLS.md.

This is based on the official Wails React-TS template.

You can configure the project by editing wails.json. More information about the project settings can be found here: https://wails.io/docs/reference/project-config

Live Development

To run in live development mode, run wails dev in the project directory. This will run a Vite development server that will provide very fast hot reload of your frontend changes. If you want to develop in a browser and have access to your Go methods, there is also a dev server that runs on http://localhost:34115. Connect to this in your browser, and you can call your Go code from devtools.

Building

To build a redistributable, production mode package, use wails build.
