Hey, I’m the creator of Lanet (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;davidesantangelo&#x2F;lanet">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;davidesantangelo&#x2F;lanet</a>), a Ruby gem for lightweight LAN communication. It’s built to make peer-to-peer messaging on local networks dead simple—think secure device-to-device comms with AES-256 encryption, network scanning, and both targeted and broadcast messaging.<p>You can ping hosts, discover devices (TCP, ICMP, ARP, etc.), or listen for messages, all through a clean API or CLI. Perfect for small office setups or tinkering with network tools. Been a blast to build—would love your thoughts or PRs!
