MDNS Scanner
mdns-scanner
## Purpose
Scan a network and create a list of IPs and associated hostnames, including DNS-SD service instances, mDNS hostnames and other aliases.
## Demo
> [!NOTE]
> The DNS-SD services are resolved at the end of the gif, about 30 seconds in.
## Install
### Prebuilt binaries
Prebuilt binaries for Linux, MacOS, and Windows can be found on [the releases page](https://github.com/CramBL/mdns-scanner/releases).
```console
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CramBL/mdns-scanner/trunk/scripts/install.sh \
| bash -s -- --to ~/bin
```
### With `cargo`
```console
cargo install mdns-scanner
```
### Quickstart
Simply run it.
`mdns-scanner` will start scanning any non-loopback network interfaces for IPs with a host on the other end, and resolve the hostnames for those IPs.
> [!TIP]
> Inform your resident sys admin that you're about to run hundreds of IP scans per second.
### Runtime dependencies
