Madconfig is a Windows network scanner for IT technicians and MSPs. Press scan and in about a minute every device on the network is listed: firewalls, switches, cameras, NVRs, printers, with IP, MAC, vendor and type. It draws a live topology map, gives the network a security score (open Telnet, exposed VNC/RDP, rogue DHCP), saves device logins per client site with one-click sign-in, and exports PDF/Excel reports. Fully offline. 5-day free trial.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic Windows network scanner with a topology view is buildable with vibe coding, but accurate device-type identification and credible security scoring need deep networking and security knowledge.
What it would actually take: Use a Windows app (C#/WPF or Electron) that combines ping sweeps, ARP tables, OUI vendor lookup, mDNS/SSDP discovery, and port scanning, possibly via nmap. The hard part is reliably classifying firewalls, switches, cameras and NVRs from fingerprints, and producing a security score that matches real risk without false alarms. That needs security and networking expertise plus a test lab of real devices.
