L0p4Map – network monitoring and visualization tool

L0p4Map is a graphical network monitoring and visualization application aimed at security researchers and network administrators. It combines network discovery, scanning and topology analysis in a modern PyQt6 interface.

The software uses established networking tools and protocols to provide detailed visibility into local and routed networks. Nmap handles deeper scanning operations, while L0p4Map adds network mapping, device classification, continuous monitoring and interactive analysis around the results. It can also monitor ARP and mDNS traffic to detect newly appearing devices.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Performs fast ARP-based host discovery.
  • Supports scanning individual IP addresses, CIDR ranges and routed networks.
  • Maps routed ranges with traceroute and groups hosts beneath detected routers.
  • Resolves hostnames using reverse DNS, NetBIOS and mDNS/Avahi.
  • Fingerprints devices using TTL values, open ports, vendor data and SNMP responses.
  • Automatically classifies gateways, routers, switches, access points, computers and other devices.
  • Offers hierarchical and Force Atlas network topology views.
  • Integrates Nmap SYN, UDP, service detection, operating system detection and NSE scripts.
  • Provides an attack surface view covering exposed services, CVEs and CVSS information.
  • Captures network traffic in real time with filtering and per-device statistics.
  • Continuously monitors ARP and mDNS traffic and can alert when new devices appear.
  • Exports topology information as CSV or PNG.
