SOLVED: How to list all devices on the Windows or Linux home network

It seems that there are versions of the Fing app available for desktop

Thanks Whiskers for figuring out how to finally list all the devices on the network from the desktop/laptop computer.

This worked: $ wget "

" $ mv "download?plat=lx64&ext=deb" fing_lx64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i ./fing_lx64.deb $ sudo fing -n 192.168.1.0/24 -r 1

Here is the result on the unrooted mobile phone:

Here is the result on the desktop/laptop:

--------------------------------------------------------------- | State | Host | MAC Address | Last change | |-------------------------------------------------------------| | UP | 192.168.1.1 | 84:1B:5E:CC:A3:FF | | | UP | 192.168.1.2 | 5C:0A:5B:C4:22:51 | | | UP | 192.168.1.3 | 00:18:61:00:A4:CE | | | UP | 192.168.1.4 | 00:1F:3B:AA:D0:4A | | | UP | 192.168.1.5 | 40:B0:FA:88:33:A1 | | | UP | 192.168.1.8 | 40:B0:FA:88:33:A1 | | | UP | 192.168.1.9 | F8:D0:AC:DD:5A:FF | | | UP | 192.168.1.10 | 00:14:22:FF:56:31 | | | UP | 192.168.1.11 | 00:80:05:AA:43:55 | | | UP | 192.168.1.116 | 00:10:83:00:8A:FF | | | UP | 192.168.1.200 | 00:16:B6:53:66:91 | |

These failed to report *all* devices (hence they're useless): $ sudo netdiscover -i wlan0 -r 192.168.1.0/24 $ sudo arp-scan --interface=wlan0 --localnet

Now we finally have a way to list *all* the devices on the network!

Of course it is also a closed source program, as far as I can see, so for all we know, it reports all those devices back "home"

So start 'etherape' or some other packet sniffer before running fing.
