About Scany

Scany is the Swiss army knife of apps for home, office, corporate LAN and Wi-Fi hotspot owners, network administrators, security specialists, developers and everyone who needs to diagnose and resolve network issues and easily do everyday network tasks.

Scany finds computers and devices connected to a LAN or Wi-Fi shows their names, addresses and manufacturers, and includes a wide set of network analysis tools, specially crafted to transcend existing analogs, including ping, trace, WHOIS, DNS lookup, port scanner and many more.

Built from the ground up for mobile by an experienced network administrator, Scany outmatches other apps in many respects.

*** NOTE ON FURTHER UPDATES ***

The production cycle of all our navigation and networking apps is being switched to more frequent updates. It’s clear by now that the old cycle of rare updates delivering much features doesn’t work well. Basically working for a long time on many features of one app only lead to significant delays in updating other apps. The new cycle is set to deliver small feature updates each one or two months or even as soon as a new feature is ready – we do have really big plans for all of these apps.

Also we now have a dedicated full-time staff member that works on improving manuals for all apps. They are all to be completely rewritten to be simpler to understand in clearer English and to be translated to 10 more languages. Besides new manuals our plan includes writing and recording a set of articles and videos.

We already got a lot of feedback from you. All of it is recorded and has found its place in our plans. If you have some more feature suggestions or corrections to the app translations please tell us using the contact form on our website.

Next feature updates are scheduled for January.

Documentation, articles and videos are set to be update as soon as they are ready.

Thanks for your great support!
1.9.3
Nov 6, 2012
v. 1.9.3 adds following improvements (read full list):
- Compatible with iOS 7.x, 6.x, 5.x, 4.3
- Optimized for 4-inch Retina
- Significantly improved reliability and stability
- Improved detection of network hosts and devices
- Improved detection of open ports, running services
- Speedup of scanning non-firewalled/non-shaped hosts
- WHOIS supports many new TLDs and IDNs
- 32-bit internationalized domain names (IDN) support
- Corrected WHOIS output encoding for some TLDs and IDNs
- Significantly improved Wake on LAN (WOL)
- Auto-sending extra WOL packets to both LAN and WAN
- External IP address auto-filled in WOL settings
- Improved asynchronous DNS lookup logic
- Improved processing of A>CNAME>…>CNAME>A records
- Fixed DNS packet unpacking bug
- Fixed rare trace socket pool overflow bug
- Fixed rare ping socket pool overflow bug
- Fixed ping sequence overflow after 192 packets
- Fixed net mask bug for 172.16.0.0/12 IP net range
- Updated IP to country database
- Updated vendors database

Now it finds, detects and shows even more info, and makes it faster than ever.

Algorithms we developed employ advanced techniques that allow finding and detecting more hosts, devices, open ports, and running services.

Special techniques of analysis of the network behavior of non-firewalled and non-traffic-shaped network hosts provide faster speed of scanning, and improved reliability of detection of firewall status and network services of a host.

The advanced WHOIS module now supports even more top-level domains (TLDs) and internationalized domains names (IDNs), just all known to date.

17 new TLDs and 6 new IDNs, which WHOIS servers became available recently, were added. TLDs: BI, BJ, BY, CI, DM, HR, IQ, MO, NC, OM, POST, QA, RS, SM, SO, SX, TN. IDN equivalents for TLD zones: KR, KZ, QA, RS, and 2 SG IDNs equivalents.

The Wake on LAN module is now easier to set up.

When a host is being added and scanned its record is automatically updated with the external IP address of the router. Thus, there is no need to type in the WAN IP address for WOL manually. Also, it now sends extra WOL packets to both LAN and WAN eliminating the need to switch between LAN and WAN.
