Modern IP scanner — Tauri + Svelte rewrite of Angry IP Scanner (Windows-only)

ipscanner

A modern Windows rewrite of Angry IP Scanner — same core idea (sweep a range of IPs, see what's alive), but with a fast Rust backend, a streaming UI, native Excel export, and clickable hostnames that open devices straight in your browser.

Built with Tauri 2 + SvelteKit + Tailwind CSS v4, in Rust.

Grab the latest installer from the Releases page:

File	Use it if
`ipscanner_x.y.z_x64-setup.exe`	You want the normal installer (adds a Start menu shortcut, ~2 MB)
`ipscanner_x.y.z_x64_en-US.msi`	Your IT department deploys software via SCCM / group policy
`ipscanner_x.y.z_x64-portable.exe`	You want a single `.exe` you can drop on a USB stick — no install

Windows will show a SmartScreen warning on first launch since the binary is not code-signed. Click More info → Run anyway.

Requires WebView2 Runtime, which is preinstalled on Windows 11 and most modern Windows 10 builds. If missing, the installer will offer to fetch it.

Features

Range syntax — single IPs (10.0.0.1), CIDR (192.168.1.0/24), short ranges (10.0.0.5-50), explicit ranges (10.0.0.254-10.0.1.5), or any mix separated by commas / newlines.
ICMP ping — Windows IcmpSendEcho API, no admin required.
Reverse DNS — system resolver lookup for .in-addr.arpa PTR records.
NetBIOS — UDP/137 NBSTAT query returns the workstation name and workgroup for any Windows host that has it enabled.
TCP port probing — pick from presets (Common, Web, Top 20) or specify custom ports.
Live results — rows stream in as each host completes; progress bar, alive count, elapsed time always visible.
Clickable IPs — for alive hosts, click the IP to open the device in your default browser. URL is picked smart: https on port 443/8443, http on 80/8080, defaulting to http://<ip>.
Native Excel export — writes a real .xlsx (styled header, frozen top row, autofit columns) via rust_xlsxwriter. No CSV-blob shenanigans.
Filter & cancel — text filter across IP/hostname/NetBIOS/ports, plus a Stop button that cleanly cancels in-flight workers.
Configurable concurrency and timeouts — defaults work for /24-sized scans, knobs for everything else.
