IBICE Watchdog

Python tool to monitor your local network in real time. Scans via ARP, detects every connected device with IP, MAC and vendor, scans common ports, classifies device types (router, phone, TV, camera, IoT…) and fires alerts when an intruder appears. Saves history to CSV and prints a live network map.

Scan modes

  • Watchdog — continuous monitoring. Scans every X seconds and detects real-time changes: new devices, disconnections, status changes.
  • Deep scan — full one-shot analysis. Scans all devices and their open ports in a single pass.

Device classification

  • (TD) Your device
  • (R)  Network router
  • (P)  Allowed device
  • (N)  New device
  • (NS) New suspicious
  • (S)  Confirmed suspicious

How discovery works

  • Pings the full subnet (192.168.x.1–254)
  • Gets IP and MAC via arp -a
  • Queries vendor via api.macvendors.com
  • Scans ports: 21, 22, 80, 443, 8080, 5000, 9100…
  • Classifies by MAC pattern, open ports and vendor

Persistence & files

  • permitidos.txt — trusted device whitelist
  • historial_ibice.csv — full activity log with timestamps
  • Visual network map printed in terminal after each scan

Installation & usage

  • Requires Python 3 and pip install requests
  • Run: python Ibice.py (requires admin/root for ARP access)
  • Also available as a .exe for Windows — no Python installation needed
  • Compatible with Windows (optimized) and Linux
