Network Device Finder For Mac

Network Device Finder is a great portal and revealer of the web server connections with other devices connected to the same network. This is useful when performing logistics and maintenance checks, as long as identifying intruders or trespassers on your connection.

The file is ridiculously small and installation isn't required in order to run it. Instead, it can be directly opened after unpacking the archive, and to introduce an entry to the system, you might want to drag and drop it into the Mac OS X Application cluster folder. Due to its negligible size, it can find its way on just about any storage or portable device, regardless of the capacity or age.

At startup, a prompt greets you, informing you and giving instructions in how to operate it. The application finds HTTP servers on the network, and a port number is required to list all servers that are found. Double-clicking on one will open it in a web browser window. A standard for HTTP servers is port 80.

On another note, it would have greatly benefited from some kind of whitelisting and blacklisting settings, to keep an evidence and mark recognized devices, allowing to quickly identify missing ones as well as intruders or trespassers on your connections.

Another great addition would have been the ability to Ping the respective devices and check for latencies within the connection. Also the user can connect to the respective domains and devices with usernames and passwords, according to each one.

Even though Network Device Finder is designed to aid the setting up of video network devices in tandem with the video surveillance software SecuritySpy, you can assign it any compatible purpose. It's a decent utility, worth taking into consideration when mingling with your devices and network setups.
