Hi Pritam!
Nice background, and glad to see you're interested.
Network Scanner is now in 3 different versions: Desktop (PyGTK), Web and
Mobile (Android).
All three uses Nmap as the underlying scanner, although it would be easy to
have him use any other network scanner. There is a lot that can be improved
in terms of performance on all versions, specially desktop and mobile.
Make sure you check desktop and mobile, run it a few times and you'll
likely come up with several ideas for improvement! If Angad's doc isn't
enough to answer your questions, feel free to ask again here on the list.
