NETworkManager

A powerful tool for managing networks and troubleshoot network problems!

You can connect to and manage remote systems via Remote Desktop, PowerShell, PuTTY, TigerVNC or AWS (Systems Manager) Session Manager.

Furthermore it contains features like a WiFi analyzer, IP scanner, port scanner, ping monitor, traceroute, DNS lookup or a LLDP/CDP capture (and many more) to analyze your network and troubleshoot network problems.

You can save your hosts (or networks) in profiles which can be used in the various features. For additional security, the profile file can be encrypted.

And the best part... it's open source!

🔧 Build

You can build the application like any other .NET Core / WPF application on Windows.

1. Make sure that the following requirements are installed:

   • SDK .NET 6.x
   • Visual Studio 2019 or later with .NET desktop development and Universal Windows Platform development

2. (optional) Install InnoSetup to create an installer.

   • Download the additional languages from the Inno Setup repository and copy the following files to %ProgramFiles%\Inno Setup 6\Languages: ChineseSimplified.isl, ChineseTraditional.isl, Hungarian.isl, Korean.isl

   NOTE: The languages files must be downloaded or cloned so that the encoding of the file is not changed (e.g. Chinese should be UTF-8-BOM).

3. Clone the repository and all submodules:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager

# Change directory
cd NETworkManager

# Clone the submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

4. Open the Source\NETworkManager.sln with Visual Studio or JetBrains Rider to build (or debug) the solution.

NOTE If you have installed the requirements from step 1 (and optionally step 2), you can also directly build the binaries with PowerShell 7 or later:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager

# Change directory
cd NETworkManager

# Clone the submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

# Allow the execution of the build script
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

# Build the binaries
& .\build.ps1
