Find what is online
Discover hosts, open ports and service versions. Device identification combines evidence such as HTTP fingerprints, banners, MAC vendors and SNMP when available.
Open-source network auditing · 224 vendors · local lookups
Find network hardware that has lost support.
Scan your local network from Linux or WSL2. SunsetScan finds devices and exposed services, then checks lifecycle evidence from 224 vendors using local data. Get a report that shows what needs attention and the vendor evidence behind it.

What you get
Know what is connected. Know what needs action.
Built for home networks and small IT teams that need more context than a port list. SunsetScan uses Nmap and local data to make device and service evidence easier to review.
See what deserves attention
Check for insecure services, common configuration issues, software end-of-life signals and CVE matches based on detected versions. Follow the evidence for each finding.
Spot support deadlines
Compare detected models with manufacturer lifecycle evidence. Clear support endings stand out; incomplete vendor status is flagged for review.
Hardware lifecycle data
224 vendors. Checked locally.
SunsetScan brings manufacturer lifecycle evidence into scans of routers, switches, cameras, NAS devices and related network gear. The database is installed locally, so a scan needs no online EOL lookup.
- Lifecycle records
- 86,276
- Model summaries
- 81,738
- Represented vendors
- 224
Manufacturer notices, support pages and product tables are mapped into one lifecycle model. The full validated database ships in the Debian package; smaller downloadable profiles are available for source installs.

The work behind the numbers
“End of life” means different things to different vendors.
SunsetScan interprets vendor-specific terms, normalizes models and part numbers, removes duplicate entries and keeps unclear support claims marked for review. A discontinued label alone does not become a claim that security updates have stopped.
Why it matters
A router cannot patch itself after support ends.
Network gear sits at the points where traffic enters, leaves and moves through a network. When its maker stops security updates, newly discovered flaws may remain open. An unsupported router at the network edge deserves priority. Replace unsupported network gear; restrict access and isolate it while replacement is under way.

Run SunsetScan on your network.
Pick the install path for your Linux system, run setup once, then start a local scan. The Debian package includes the full validated hardware database. Installation downloads dependencies; scans use local caches afterward.
