🔍 Find Private IP Address of Devices Connected to Same WiFi using Termux (2025 Method)

Snippet: Discover how to detect private IP addresses of users connected to your WiFi network using Termux and Nmap — without root, 100% working in 2025!

Ever wondered who’s connected to your WiFi? Whether you're a cybersecurity learner or just curious about your home network, Termux offers a smart, root-free way to scan all connected devices and check their private IPs. In this guide, we’ll walk through using Nmap — a powerful scanning tool — on your Android device via Termux.

📦 What is Nmap?

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a free and open-source tool used for network discovery and security auditing. It's widely used by ethical hackers, network admins, and cybersecurity learners to detect hosts and open ports in a network.

🛠️ Installing Nmap in Termux

Follow these steps to install Nmap in your Termux environment:

pkg update && pkg upgrade

pkg install nmap -y

🌐 Find Your Own Device's IP Address

To get started, you need to know your own local IP address:

ifconfig

• Look for the section named wlan0 if you are connected to WiFi.
• In my case, the IP is 192.168.43.201 (yours may differ).

🔎 Scanning All Devices Connected to Your WiFi

Now, run the following command to detect all devices connected to your WiFi network:

nmap -sn 192.168.43.0/24

• This command will scan the entire subnet for active devices.
• You’ll see the private IP addresses of all connected users and devices.

⚠️ Tip: What to Do with These Private IPs?

Once you get the private IPs, you can dig deeper to check open ports on them (for educational analysis only):

nmap -Pn [target-ip]

Replace [target-ip] with the IP you found from the scan.

🧠 Important Note:

This tutorial is only for educational purposes. Unauthorized scanning of networks or devices you don’t own is illegal and unethical.
