Net Commander is a comprehensive network engineering toolkit designed specifically for Visual Studio Code that brings essential networking tools directly into the code editor environment. The extension eliminates the need for context-switching between terminals and browsers by integrating network troubleshooting capabilities where network professionals already work.

The extension offers multi-target ping and traceroute capabilities even against CIDR blocks, Wi-Fi analyzer functionality for quick site surveys with packet capture support, IANA port registry searches, public IP and ASN information lookup via ipinfo.io integration, PeeringDB queries for ASN and facility data, RFC-compliant CIDR calculators with what-if simulation capabilities, SSH profile management for quick server access, and network configuration colorization with Cisco-style syntax highlighting and IP tooltips. All exports are CSV-ready for easy integration into tickets or dashboards.

The tool works by leveraging VS Code's extension framework and Terminal Shell Integration API to provide seamless integration with the development environment. Users access features through the Command Palette, with results displayed directly in VS Code's interface and automatically saved to project folders for later analysis.

Benefits include accelerated data-driven root-cause analysis, reduced context switching between tools, streamlined everyday network engineering workflows, and improved troubleshooting efficiency. Use cases include network troubleshooting, wireless site surveys, configuration reviews, subnet planning, peering analysis, and remote server management.

The product targets Network Engineers, DevOps Engineers, and Solution Architects who work with network infrastructure and need integrated tools within their development environment. It integrates with ipinfo.io for IP data, PeeringDB for interconnection information, and supports Cisco, Arista, Ciena, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and Google Cloud Platform environments.
