Could be possible to make a portable version of this network monitor?

Thanks.

So after my success with another network mapping tool, I came back to The Dude. Unfortunately it's not entirely clear from the home page but this is actually client software that connects to a RouterOS server program. So there's a bit more setup than I was expecting.

Now up to v.7.8
