• Scanning Apps For Mac

IP Scanner for Macintosh scans your local area network to determine the identity of all machines and internet devices on the LAN. Powerful results, yet easy and intuitive to use. IP Scanner is all about customizing the way you view your network.

You may apply custom names and icons to the devices on your network and adjust the type and amount of information you see in the network overview; don't need to see the MAC address column.don't display it! Text too small.make it larger! IP Scanner can be used in several primary modes: as a way to get a quick overview of which devices are currently on the network, including seeing which devices are actively and passively present, or view network changes over time with IP Scanner's 'cumulative mode', including options to display devices which were once present but now no longer visible.

Finally, by using the whitelist feature you may filter out known and trusted devices to reveal new or unexpected ones, a great way to easily identify unwanted network visitors. Other notable features:.Sort network list by device name, IP address, MAC address or Last Seen.Growl support for notifications of newly discovered devices and changes in device state.Right-click a device to obtain additional contextualized tool options, including Ping and Port Scan tools.Local network segments are scanned automatically; custom ranges may be added manually IP Scanner is free to use on small networks (up to 6 devices).

To see the results from networks of more than 6 devices, please consider the Home or Pro versions of IP Scanner. Visit for more details. For scanning on-the-go, consider IP Scanner mobile: http://itunes.apple.com/app/ip-network-scanner/id335517657?mt=8.

Scanning Apps For Mac

I just recently learned that there is a police scanner app for the IPhone/IPod Touch. I don't own either. But I am wondering if there is a similar app for Macs. Is there one?

Those apps don't really turn the iPhone/iPod Touch into a police scanner, they just act as streaming audio players that tap into feeds from various websites. And apparently the people who operate those websites are not pleased about these police scanner apps leeching their feeds. Leeching? Why do they have an audio stream if they're going to get upset when people listen to it? Leechers consume server bandwidth while bypassing the web ads that are intended to help pay for that bandwidth. Even if the person providing the audio stream doesn't expect to make a profit, he's likely to resent app authors who make a profit by selling access to his audio feed.

Just curious-what is the purpose of listening in on law-enforcement communications? Need to know what is happening in real time? Davoud - usenet.at. davidillig dawt cawm kurtu.@sprintmail.com 17/7/2009, 8:17 น.

I asked because police radio would be the last place on earth I would turn for entertainment-sometime after I finished re-gritting my roof shingles and transplanting the grass from my front lawn to the back, and vice-versa.;-) Your answer makes perfect sense, however, as practically everyone older than 21 understands nostalgia, and I'm waaay over 21!

And everyone over about 10 understands being nosey. For many, the police band really is the ultimate gossip place. You know instantly when Mrs. Smith's kid down the street has gotten into trouble again, where all the really neat-o car accidents are, whose house is burning, etc.

Some just their own little thrill from living the life of a cop, even if one generation removed. Some just find the non-stop talk fascinating. Probably as many reason as people listening. Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.

Need to know what is happening in real time? There are more reasons than one can dream of. One of my friends is an EMT, and he monitors EMT frequencies as he drives around because he has a personal interest. I'm a ham radio operator and a member of an emergency communication team; many of our members listen in on police, fire, and EMT frequencies so they have a heads up that our team may be called up to volunteer.

I've been at events where we provided communications for the staff running the event and accidents happened. Monitoring fire frequencies (they respond to accidents) let us know how long it would be till help arrived when we otherwise wouldn't have known. It's nice to be able to tell staff that the fire engine should be here in x number of minutes - staff people need all the calming they can get. I'll put that in the happening in real time category. I suspect most people who listen in (and the original poster gets to have his reasons apart from my speculation) is that they're wannabe cops or firemen who want to fantasize. I'll put that into your entertainment category.

And I'm sure some people committing crimes scan to see if they've been detected. That's evasion, of course. And I'm confident that I have no clue what other reasons, nefarious and otherwise, people listen in. Davoud 17/7/2009, 12:22 น.

Having been saddled with a secure handie-talkie for many years, I'm a bit surprised that the police, etc. Do not have secure voice channels by now.

It's illegal to use emergency frequencies - fire, police, EMT - if you're not one of them. It's illegal for them to use ham frequencies (unless they're hams with their own radios). Our volunteers provide off-band communications support so we don't tie up their emergency frequencies with our support traffic.

When the phone lines were cut in the San Jose, CA, area, hams were stationed at fire houses with ham radios to replace non-working phone lines. Having us on their frequencies to tell about fire calls would have disrupted their dispatch and other traffic on actually handling a fire - it would be similar to having fire departments do fire dispatch and communications on a party line with neighbors calling in to report fires and check status on existing fires. And I'm sure some people committing crimes scan to see if they've been detected. That's evasion, of course. Having been saddled with a secure handie-talkie for many years, I'm a bit surprised that the police, etc. Do not have secure voice channels by now.

So far, they haven't been able to do anything right. The Reno state police had to completely undo their entire statewide radio network because it was inadvertently put in the wrong band and infringed on the legal users of those frequencies. Many police departments have paid millions for new radio systems only to find they don't work as well as existing systems. After September 11, police, fire, and emergency radio systems were supposed to integrate so users would have access to life-saving information in real time, and I'm unaware of any successful systems - they still can't communicate directly to each other. Everything goes out to the lowest bidder in public contracts. I've seen that go horribly wrong in many situations (road construction, heavy equipment, etc.; not just radios).

This is one of the things hams provide when they're stationed as 'shadows' with the commanders at emergency scenes: we hear all the traffic and can relay as appropriate between fire, rescue, and police (we hear it all when we have scanners on us or when we have shadows in all three command posts who can relay to a net control operator). It's happened to me a time or two in non-emergency events that I've heard traffic on a non-ham frequency that cleared up confusion on some problem or other or other people heard police traffic and were able to clear stuff up for me. I have the Mac scanner on my iPod touch and I've checked to make sure it's working for me, but I haven't listened in since favoriting the right feeds.

I have a broad band receiver which I can use to listen in on police, fire, and EMT, but it's not an area of interest to me unless I'm actually in need of it at one of the fund-raising events we do communications for, and as I said it's very nice to have then. It's a tool for me, not a hobby. Davoud 19/7/2009, 17:49 น.

I meant that, since you are somehow affiliated they might have made you 'one of them' and included you on the net. But you have explained that as well. It's a tool for me, not a hobby. Davoud - usenet.at. davidillig dawt cawm Fred Moore 20/7/2009, 5:30 น.

Well, Davoud, speaking of nostalgia, remember the CB craze? 'Roger, one-niner-bravo. I'm pushin' a double nickel down the mo-fo and dodgin' a bear-in-the-air.' Not my entertainment, but it was for millions; and there were, and still are, legitimate uses for CB. Actually, if you want a good source of info on ham, emergency, and other RF monitoring and possibly an answer to 'why?' , let me suggest The Monitoring Times.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and CBs are useless here. But we go camping in the hinterlands frequently, and CBs and truckers are a hoot. Lots of great entertainment, but also lots of great information when there's trouble on the road. Actually, if you want a good source of info on ham, emergency, and other RF monitoring and possibly an answer to 'why?' , let me suggest The Monitoring Times. I read Monitoring Times a few times a year. If anyone is interested in that iPhone app, I'd suggest picking up a copy of Monitoring Times at what used to be your local newstand, what may be your national chain bookstore now and see if it floats your boat.
