Features

• Scan for devices on a specified IP address or subnet
• Display the IP address, MAC address, manufacturer, and device model of discovered devices
• Live tracking of devices (optional)
• Save scan results to a file (optional)
• Filter by manufacturer (e.g., 'Apple') (optional)
• Filter by IP range (e.g., '192.168.1.0/24') (optional)
• Scan rate in seconds (default: 5) (optional)
