What is Fing FOR LINUX?

Fing

Fing is an awesome tool for discovering and scanning networks! It helps administrators troubleshoot their networks super quickly. Once you install it on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer, you can check out your home, office, or corporate network with just one click.

Easy Installation for Administrators

You'll need to be an Administrator to get Fing up and running on your machine. And guess what? It's completely free!

A Little Background on Fing

Fing comes from the original Look@LAN project. It's a powerful command-line tool designed for discovering networks and services. With its new cross-platform engine, it's ready to help you explore your network like never before! The team of IT pros behind it has put in a lot of work, and this is just the beginning. They plan to roll out even more features for network monitoring and management soon.

Command-Line Tool with GUI Coming Soon!

Right now, Fing is a command-line tool, but they are working on a graphical user interface (GUI) that will be available soon!

Smart Network Discovery

The smart discovery feature gives you a complete view of any network really fast. It automatically detects the type of network and picks the best way to scan it.

Perfect for Ethernet Networks

The best results come from Ethernet networks (yep, WiFi too!). Fing's special data-link layer discovery engine makes scanning super sharp and quick. No matter how many firewalls or blockers you have installed, Fing's going to find them in seconds!

Create Multiple Outputs Instantly

You can start as many discoveries as you want! For each one running, Fing can give you different output formats. Want an HTML view of your network table plus a CSV log? You got it! There are also console reports available during regular system administration tasks.

Dive into Service Discovery

The service discovery feature quickly identifies active TCP services on any target host or network. It works even better with Ethernet-based networks using TCP SYN scan techniques.

Easily Export Discovered Services

You can export discovered services in various formats like text, CSV, XML, or HTML. This means you can use Fing not only as a command line tool but also integrate it with other applications!
