AssetLoom Network Scanner 1.0.1 Release Notes

Release date: 2026-08-03

AssetLoom Network Scanner 1.0.1 is the first public release of the free local
scanner. It helps IT teams discover devices on approved IPv4 network ranges and
export a clean local inventory without installing agents on the devices being
scanned.

This release runs locally and outputs results to CSV or JSON. AssetLoom Cloud
integration is planned for a future release.

What's Included

  • Free local network discovery for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • ICMP, ARP, TCP, reverse DNS, NetBIOS, and mDNS-based discovery.
  • Detection of devices that block ping but respond to ARP or selected TCP
    probes.
  • Device classification with confidence levels and optional subtypes such as
    iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro.
  • Local CSV and JSON output.
  • Dry-run mode to preview target ranges and protocol capability before scanning.
  • Target safety checks for local, routed, public, and explicitly approved
    ranges.
  • Professional CLI output with AssetLoom branding and build metadata.
  • Cross-platform release artifacts, SHA256 checksums, and optional SBOM support.

Getting Started

Create a config file:

assetloom-scanner --init-config --config ./config.json

Preview a scan without sending packets:

assetloom-scanner --config ./config.json --dry-run 192.168.1.0/24

Run a scan to CSV:

sudo assetloom-scanner --config ./config.json --output ./devices.csv 192.168.1.0/24

Run a scan to JSON:

sudo assetloom-scanner --config ./config.json --format json --output ./devices.json 192.168.1.0/24

Check build information:

assetloom-scanner --version

Supported Platforms

  • Linux amd64
  • Linux arm64
  • macOS Intel
  • macOS Apple Silicon
  • Windows amd64

Output

The scanner writes one record per discovered device. Results include available
network evidence such as IP address, MAC address, hostname, vendor, open ports,
device type, device subtype, confidence, discovery methods, protocol statuses,
timestamps, and scan ID.

CSV is the default format. JSON is available with --format json.

Security and Privacy

  • The scanner runs locally.
  • No agent is installed on scanned devices.
  • No Cloud upload is performed in this release.
  • Output files may contain sensitive network inventory data and should be stored
    securely.
  • Existing output files are protected unless --force-output is used.

Known Limitations

  • Cloud mode is not available yet.
  • SNMP, WMI, SSH, WinRM, Nmap, scheduled scans, and credential-based inventory
    are planned for later phases.
  • Phase 1 discovery is IPv4-focused.
  • ARP is only available for local layer-2 targets; routed ranges use the
    available non-ARP discovery methods.
  • Device classification is heuristic, so low-confidence results should be
    reviewed.
  • macOS notarization and Windows code signing are planned for future release
    hardening.

Verify Downloads
