Night Watch: A Logbook for the Devices on Your Network
A practical comparison of three network scanners, tested on home and small-office LANs to record what each tool finds and misses.
Field notes
The site organizes its comparison around one LAN, three scanners, and the same evening, then separates fast discovery from deeper inspection. Angry IP Scanner is presented as a USB-portable option that can clear a home subnet in about half a minute, while LizardSystems is aimed at finding shared computers, printers, and folders. The roster page extends the comparison into a recurring monthly record of devices, addresses, names, and MAC vendors.
