findpi is a fast, multithreaded network scanner designed to discover Raspberry Pi devices on your network. It's significantly faster than traditional tools like nmap for Pi detection.
Uses multithreading to scan networks quickly. Typically 2-3x faster than nmap for Pi discovery.
Detects all Raspberry Pi models including Pi 5, Pi 4, Pi 3, Zero 2 W, and more using MAC address prefixes.
Supports CIDR notation for scanning any subnet size - from single hosts to large networks.
Simple command-line interface with intelligent network detection and sensible defaults.
