Netfox 0.13.0 the endpoint that refuses to be careless
Netfox can expose a read-only metrics endpoint, so your own monitoring can scrape your network. Handy and, it turns out, far too easy to leave wide open.
Just shipped Netfox 0.14.0, and this one started with a bug report I couldn't stop thinking about.
I turned on my Apple TV and it wasn't in the list. Except it was sitting there as a phone, with no manufacturer, under the name I'd given it years ago.
Netfox 0.16.0 is out and this one finds what a network scan structurally can't.
Here's the blind spot. Netfox checks every device by connecting to it across your network. Perfect for a printer, a NAS, a phone. Wrong for the Mac you're sitting at
Netfox 0.5.0 just shipped, and it's the release that makes the menu bar the place to watch your network plus the port scanner finally checks the ports you care about.
Live traffic, one click away. The menu bar popover now charts your Mac's download and upload over the last minute a filled curve for down, a line for up, live readouts next to them. It samples for the whole life of the app, so the chart opens already full of history. No setup, no special permissions.
