Network Mapper
The Network Mapper enumerates the live hosts on a range and renders them as an interactive topology graph, so a flat list of IPs becomes a picture of your network you can actually reason about.

What it does
It sweeps a subnet to find which hosts are up, gathers basic details (open ports, OS hints), and lays them out as nodes and links in a graph you can pan, zoom, and click. It is the fast way to answer "what is even on this network?"
How to use it
1
Enter a range
Provide a CIDR range such as
10.0.0.0/24.2
Discover
Click Map. Hosts appear on the canvas as they are found.
3
Explore
Click a node to see its details; drag to rearrange; zoom to focus on a segment.
Options
- Target range — the CIDR or host list to map.
- Discovery depth — quick ping-sweep vs. a richer scan that adds ports/OS to each node.
What you get
An interactive topology graph plus the underlying host list, which flows into Asset Inventory. Use it before a Port Scanner deep-dive to decide which hosts are worth a closer look.
Tips
- Start with a quick sweep to size the network, then enrich only the interesting hosts.
- Large ranges produce dense graphs — filter to a smaller subnet for clarity.
- No Nmap yet? A demo map lets you preview the visualization before installing it.
