lanscape 1.2.6a12

A python based local network scanner

LANscape

A python based local network scanner.

Local Run

pip install lanscape
python -m lanscape

Flags

• --port <port number> port of the flask app (default: 5001)
• --nogui run in web mode (default: false)
• --reloader essentially flask debug mode- good for local development (default: false)
• --logfile save log output to lanscape.log
• --loglevel <level> set the logger's log level (default: INFO)
• --headless similar to nogui but doesnt try to open a browser (default: false)

Examples:

python -m lanscape --reloader
python -m lanscape --nogui --port 5002
python -m lanscape --logfile --loglevel DEBUG

Troubleshooting

MAC Address / Manufacturer is inaccurate/unknown

The program does an ARP lookup to determine the MAC address. This lookup can sometimes require admin-level permissions to retrieve accurate results. Try elevating your shell before execution.

Message "WARNING: No libpcap provider available ! pcap won't be used"

This is a missing dependency related to the ARP lookup. This is handled in the code, but you would get marginally faster/better results with this installed: npcap download

Unable to start webview client. Try --nogui (Linux)

Linux and QT (GUI package) dont seem to play well with each other very well. If you really want the gui (python -m lanscape --nogui is almost as good) I had success on ubuntu desktop by running these:

sudo apt install libcairo2-dev libxt-dev libgirepository1.0-dev
pip install pycairo PyGObject qtpy PyQt5 PyQtWebEngine
