Features & Capabilities

mDNS Discover is a Chrome extension that enables you to dynamically discover local servers and devices on your network using Multicast DNS (mDNS). The extension listens for mDNS service announcements and compiles them into an easy-to-access list via a browser action popup menu.

With mDNS Discover, you can quickly find HTTP servers (_http._tcp) and LXI instruments (_lxi._tcp) within your local network, streamlining network discovery and management. This tool is ideal for users who need efficient access to network services without manual configuration.

Is mDNS Discover Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

mDNS Discover requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Facilitates communication between extensions and native applications, usually low risk if managed correctly.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

mDNS Discover has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
