DeviceShelf scans your local network and tells you what every device on it
actually is: vendor, type, operating system, open ports. It runs on your own
machine, and nothing about your network leaves it unless you turn that on.
Npcap is required on Windows and is not bundled: the x64 build links wpcap.dll
at load time, so the app will not start without it. Install it from
https://npcap.com/#download first. The interactive installer says so as well,
but `winget install` runs silently and skips that prompt.
Beyond discovery there is a per-device security report covering TLS, SSH, SMB
and HTTP checks, presence monitoring that alerts you when an unknown device
joins or a known one drops off, per-device bandwidth and a topology map.
AI-assisted identification is optional and uses your own API key; none is
bundled or required.
A headless server edition covers 24/7 monitoring as a Docker image, a .deb
install or a Windows service, and it is part of the same one-time licence.

Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.
No known CVEs for DeviceShelf.
Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
