Original Summary

For years I have used Excel to document my Home Network. If you have switches, servers and many sevices i know you know what i mean by that. There was also no good way to know which patch panel cable runs to witch outlet and what&#x27;s connected to it.<p>So I started building my own Angular app to map my network. I quickly wanted to automate the process of discovering new devices so i don&#x27;t have to add every device manually. So I built a Docker agent that runs nmap to scan the Network. With the Scanning agent I also got the benefit of tracking all the devices and its state.<p>After some development and testing, I wanted to share my app with others. The most important thing for me was then to implement E2E Encryption because nobody wants to have their whole network in a cloud readable by anyone. All data gets encrypted locally on your device and then gets transmitted to the backend.<p>A big problem was and still is, the whole nmap discovery. Different vendors use different methods to broadcast the hostname (mDNS, NetBIOS, pure DNS).<p>Now, four months later, I finally have a production version. Feel free to test my app and i would like to get your opinions and feedback.<p>Live App: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vnetmap.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;app.vnetmap.com</a><p>GitHub (Docs &amp; Agent Setup): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;vNetMap&#x2F;vnetmap-issues" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;vNetMap&#x2F;vnetmap-issues</a>

中文标题： Show HN：VNetMap——零知识端到端加密的网络拓扑映射器

作者多年用Excel记录家庭网络，遂开发Angular应用映射网络拓扑；通过运行nmap的Docker代理自动发现设备并跟踪状态，数据在本地端到端加密后传至后端。nmap发现因厂商使用mDNS、NetBIOS、DNS等不同主机名广播方式仍有困难。四个月后推出正式版，提供在线应用与GitHub文档/代理设置，欢迎试用反馈。
