netscanner is a terminal-based network scanner and diagnostic tool with a modern TUI, written in Rust. It supports WiFi network scanning, CIDR pinging with hostname/OUI/MAC lookup, TCP/UDP/ICMP/ARP packet dumping, open TCP port scanning, and CSV export of results.

Use cases

scan wifi networks and view signal strength charts from the terminal
ping an entire CIDR range and see hostnames, MAC addresses, and OUI vendors
capture and filter TCP, UDP, ICMP, and ARP packets in a TUI
find open TCP ports on hosts in my local network
export scanned IPs, ports, and packets to CSV
count network traffic and view DNS records
switch between network interfaces for scanning and packet dumping

When to choose

you want an interactive terminal UI for network scanning and diagnostics instead of separate CLI tools
you need combined WiFi scanning, CIDR pinging, port scanning, and packet capture in one tool
you're on Linux, macOS, or Windows and comfortable running with root privileges

When to avoid

you need IPv6 scanning and dumping, which is not yet implemented
you cannot or prefer not to run tools with root privileges
you need scriptable, non-interactive output rather than a TUI
you need a full-featured packet analyzer like Wireshark
