Tools

CLI wrappers

What it does: (Linux only) puts a friendly form over command-line network tools you already have installed — nmap, curl, openssl, dig, mtr, tcpdump, and more. You fill the options in fields, it builds the exact command, runs it, and shows the output — the power of the real tool without memorizing its flags.

What you need: the underlying tool must be installed on this machine (e.g. `sudo apt install nmap` to use the nmap wrapper); the form tells you if it's missing. SubnetSlinger doesn't bundle them — it drives the ones you have. Some (nmap raw scans, tcpdump) need root — copy the shown command and run it with sudo in a terminal rather than running SubnetSlinger as root.

Why Linux only: on Linux these tools are commonly installed and add real value; on Windows most users don't have them, so the tool is hidden there.

Reading results: the wrapped tool's own output, verbatim; the shown command lets you learn the flags, copy it to a terminal, or paste it into a ticket.

These are the Windows and Linux 1.3 guides, the same help that ships inside those apps. The Mac app carries its own in-app help; where macOS differs, see Privacy and FAQ. All docs. Spot something unclear? Tell us.
