🚀 Getting Started

📋 Prerequisites

Windows 10 version 1809 or later
Visual Studio 2022 with Windows App SDK workload
.NET 8 SDK

🔨 Build from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/avikeid2007/Ping-Tool.git

# Navigate to project directory
cd Ping-Tool

# Build the solution
dotnet build PingTool.WinUI3.sln -c Release -p:Platform=x64

▶️ Run the Application

Open PingTool.WinUI3.sln in Visual Studio 2022
Set PingTool.WinUI3 as the startup project
Press F5 to build and run

📁 Project Structure

This repository contains:

PingTool.WinUI3 - Modern WinUI 3 application (active development)
Archive-UWP - Legacy UWP project (archived for reference)

The project has been fully migrated from UWP to WinUI 3 for better performance and modern Windows integration.

🧭 Network Scanner (MAC & Vendor)

The Network Scanner can optionally show:

MAC Address (from the Windows neighbor/ARP cache)
Vendor (offline lookup using an OUI dataset shipped with the app)

Important notes:

MAC addresses are only discoverable for on-link targets (devices on the same local subnet/VLAN). If you scan routed/public networks, MAC/Vendor will often be blank.
Some devices/OSes use randomized / locally administered MACs; these often won’t match any public OUI list, so Vendor may show as Unknown.

OUI dataset

Vendor lookup is offline and reads PingTool.WinUI3/Assets/oui.csv.

The repo includes tooling to generate oui.csv from a dataset you can redistribute:

Instructions: OUI_DATASET.md
Import script: tools/Import-OuiDataset.ps1

Typical output (from Wireshark manuf) is about ~1.1 MB with ~39k entries (exact size varies by source/version).
