What is networkmaster?

NetworkMaster is a network diagnostics tool built to make managing a local network simpler. According to its README, which is written in Polish, the tool groups its features into four areas. For diagnostics, it offers ping, traceroute, and a DNS benchmark, the kind of checks someone would run to figure out whether a connection problem is on their end or further along the network path. For scanning, it can look at ports, subnets, and devices connected to the local network, which is useful for seeing what is actually on a home or office network. For management, it supports Wake-on-LAN, which lets a user remotely power on another device on the network, along with editing of system files. For monitoring, it includes a real-time dashboard. The project is written in Python. The README itself is brief and does not go into implementation details, installation steps, or screenshots, so beyond the four feature groups listed above there is not much more to go on from the source material. It is released under the GNU General Public License version 3, a copyleft license. That means anyone who modifies NetworkMaster and distributes their version has to release their changes under the same license and make the source code available, this differs from more permissive licenses that let you keep changes private. Given how little the README says about setup, someone interested in trying it would likely need to look at the source code directly to figure out how to install and run it, since there are no documented installation instructions here.
