_Has this ever happened to you?_
LookAround is a Rust program for looking up your computers' MAC and IP addresses
within a LAN. There's no central server, so it's not a look-up, it's a look-around.

The LookAround client uses IP multicast to find LookAround servers within the
same multicast domain.
LookAround is a Rust program for looking up your computers' MAC and IP addresses
within a LAN. There's no central server, so it's not a look-up, it's a look-around.
MAC addresses change slower than IP addresses, so if you know that
`11:11:11:11:11:11` is your laptop, and your laptop is running LookAround,
LookAround will find the IP for you.
The client uses IP multicast to find servers within the
same multicast domain, similar to Avahi and Bonjour.
Systems self-identify by MAC address and nicknames. Public keys with
TOFU semantics are intended before v1.0.0.
