VisitNaabu vs NetsCLI
What both publish
| Fact | Naabu | NetsCLI |
|---|---|---|
| Host discovery | Host discovery scanning is available and marked experimental. | Discovery can add reverse DNS, ARP cache data, MAC addresses, and device makers when the operating system has that information. |
| Integrations | It integrates with Nmap for service discovery and can pipe discovered ports to ProjectDiscovery's httpx tool. | The MCP server runs over stdio and exposes structured tools for network discovery, scanning, ping, DNS, ARP, host inspection, sweeps, interfaces, and mDNS discovery. |
| Purpose | Naabu is a Go port scanner that enumerates valid ports on hosts quickly and reliably. | NetsCLI is an open-source Rust network scanner for discovering LAN hosts, scanning TCP and UDP ports, querying DNS, and inspecting hosts. |
