NetAlertX had no native support for discovering devices connected to
Fritz!Box routers. Users relying on Fritz!Box as their primary home
router had to use generic network scanning (ARP/ICMP), missing
Fritz!Box-specific details like interface type (WiFi/LAN) and
connection status per device.
Changes:
- Add plugin implementation (front/plugins/fritzbox/fritzbox.py)
Queries all hosts via FritzHosts TR-064 service, normalizes MACs,
maps interface types (802.11→WiFi, Ethernet→LAN), and writes results
to CurrentScan via Plugin_Objects. Supports filtering to active-only
devices and optional guest WiFi monitoring via a synthetic AP device
with a deterministic locally-administered MAC (02:xx derived from
Fritz!Box MAC via MD5).
- Add plugin configuration (front/plugins/fritzbox/config.json)
Defines plugin_type "device_scanner" with settings for host, port,
credentials, guest WiFi reporting, and active-only filtering.
Maps scan columns to CurrentScan fields (scanMac, scanLastIP, scanName,
scanType). Default schedule: every 5 minutes.
- Add plugin documentation (front/plugins/fritzbox/README.md)
Covers TR-064 protocol basics, quick setup guide, all settings with
defaults, troubleshooting for common issues (connection refused, auth
failures, no devices found), and technical details.
- Add fritzconnection>=1.15.1 dependency (requirements.txt)
Required Python library for TR-064 communication with Fritz!Box.
- Add test suite (test/plugins/test_fritzbox.py:1-298)
298 lines covering get_connected_devices (active filtering, MAC
normalization, interface mapping, error resilience), check_guest_wifi_status
(service detection, SSID-based guest detection, fallback behavior), and
create_guest_wifi_device (deterministic MAC generation, locally-administered
bit, fallback MAC, regression anchor with precomputed hash).
Users can now scan Fritz!Box-connected devices natively, seeing per-device
connection status and interface type directly in NetAlertX. Guest WiFi
monitoring provides visibility into guest network state. The plugin
defaults to HTTPS on port 49443 with active-only filtering enabled.
New Features:
- API endpoints now support comprehensive input validation with detailed error responses via Pydantic models.
- OpenAPI specification endpoint (/openapi.json) and interactive Swagger UI documentation (/docs) now available for API discovery.
- Enhanced MCP session lifecycle management with create, retrieve, and delete operations.
- Network diagnostic tools: traceroute, nslookup, NMAP scanning, and network topology viewing exposed via API.
- Device search, filtering by status (including 'offline'), and bulk operations (copy, delete, update).
- Wake-on-LAN functionality for remote device management.
- Added dynamic tool disablement and status reporting.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed get_tools_status in registry to correctly return boolean values instead of None for enabled tools.
- Improved error handling for invalid API inputs with standardized validation responses.
- Fixed OPTIONS request handling for cross-origin requests.
Refactoring:
- Significant refactoring of api_server_start.py to use decorator-based validation (@validate_request).
