I used this self-hosted tool to scan my network and you won’t believe what i found

With the sheer number of devices on my network, it's all too often that even I forget everything I’ve connected to it. Now, most of us rely on our router’s built-in analytics or basic scanning tools to tell us what’s connected to our network. But those tools rarely go beyond listing out IP addresses and MAC addresses. Figuring out what these devices are, and what they can access can be frustrating. That’s what drew me to this new self-hosted project. Dubbed Reconya, the tool offers a combination of network reconnaissance and visualization. Despite the rather tactical-sounding feature set, it’s surprisingly approachable. Reconya aims to give users an accurate, real-time view of every device on their network, backed by nmap-based scanning tools and a modern interface.
