Let's talk today about a very technical topic, such as scanning ports and IPs used within a network. What does it mean? And why should we care about something like this? The possibilities it offers Port Authority there are many, we will try to analyze only the simplest ones and truly within everyone's reach.
So why should we be interested in this application? Why Port Authority it is really very simple to use and even the least experienced can see who is connected to your network without any technical knowledge. There are many reasons to be interested in this possibility. We give you some practical examples.
You have always suspected that neighbor connects to your network despite your repeated and continuous password changes? With Port Authority you can control all electronic devices connected to your network! Not only that: it will also tell you the name of the connected device! For example, if there is a cell phone it will tell you the name of the cell phone, if there is a computer it will tell you the name of the computer!

We often read requests for applications on various forums to find any disturbing hidden cameras. It is one of the fears of these modern times. A video camera can be hidden very well and can have any type of appearance (from shampoo to the classic cell phone charger). However, if it is connected to the wireless network, with this app you can find out in no time. Furthermore scanning is really super fast!
If you are a little more technical, Port Authority has tons of cool options like the scan all ports, The wake up host (to “wake up” sleeping computers), the DNS Lookup and really much more.
We also know that there are many applications that do this job on the Play Store. It goes without saying that they are packed full of tracers and advertising, right? For example, one of the most famous is called Fing: contains ads And as many as 12 Trackers among which, guess what, Facebook and Google.
In short, as often happens for all these "small" convenient applications in everyday life, there is one alternative Open source without tracers and without advertising!
