fing is certainly an interesting tool and useful.  It found a minor misconfig on my network.

it *seems* nmap will do what fing does though with:

nmap -sn <network address>

Am I the only one concerned about what appears to be a closed source utility that duplicates well audited utilities on their network that comes from outside the US (whois
fingbox.com tells me that)?

The fact that is cross platform is sort of nice, but my spidey sense is still tingling. Probably nothing, but...
