Tsunami Network Security Scanner

[nelsonic]

We are going to need to actively scan the network @home because we want to have several "smart" features in the house which means having several unattended computers connected to the network.

We will have at least 3 networks within the house and one will be a DMZ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_(computing) used by untrusted devices. Any devices on the internal network should not be accessible be accessed from the outside. Having a security-first network topology is a good start, but it's not a guarantee that there are no malicious devices inside it. We need both monitoring and scanning.

Made/used by Google so you know it's got to be decent.

Sadly, it's written in Java which means we need the JVM on any device that runs it ... 😕 Would definitely prefer if it was written in Go, Python or Rust. Obvs nobody at Google is writing Elixir though it would be perfect for this job. 💭

We need to do a comprehensive search of all the available Open Source Network Scanners. 🔍
