Greetz,
Hey Hey
I just downloaded the program and played with it a lil bit on my local network.
Seems to be quite nice, especially considering the size, and it's multiple functions. I wouldn't want to use it to scan a large number of ports on all the hosts I'd prolly use something like nmap for that, but as far as scanning the IPs and a few ports on a system, and grabbing the NetBios information it seems to be very nice.
There is also an IP scanner, Port Scanner and IP Calc here
http://www.famatech.com
Also www.rawlogic.com has an interesting utility
A good utility to scan for open shares....
Menh! It's no big whoop actually. Superscan will do most of what you want in a windows
environment as will the win port of nmap.
I believe that it's better to build your own port scanner (a simple shell script) instead of taking one from the web. Even if your scanner is not so good, it's made by you and this is the most important thing:)
First, i'm not familiar with scripts, ( not yet )
Second, I took it from the web just to ask everyone's opinion, thank you for your opinion.
Third, Why don't you post one of your port scanners or explain me the simple shell.
Greetz,
Doesnt port scanning get your kicked off your isp? Or somthing like that
Mac OS X has a nice Port Scanner... Although you will have to review the output manually... It's not like nmap or anything but it is kinda cool, and comes built into the Mac Network Utilities... Along with whois, ping, tracert, etc...
Again, this is only with Mac OS X... Just visual interp. of the un*x network commands...

DISCUSSION
The Network Utility combines several information and troubleshooting tools you may find helpful if you understand basic networking.
Use the Network Utility to:
o Check your computer's network interfaces (Info)
o Review network performance statistics (Netstat)
o Test access to specific hosts or IP addresses (Ping)
o Convert between IP addresses and host names (Lookup)
o Find user information (Whois, Finger)
o Scan active TCP ports (Port Scan)
Help for some of these tools is available in Terminal. Type "man" followed by the tool's name (for example, "man ping").

Is it true that ISP's generally disable the accounts of those intelligent guys who uses these Port Scanner :confused:
I think it's quite handy if you have a windows network and is interested on knowing which hosts are alive and their netbios info. It has a single special purpose, and is quite small.
If you need something else, move on to another tool. If it fits your needs, it isn't a bad choice. Simple as that.
To the person who wrote telling me to provide a link for Superscan ---> ever heard of google?
Google for it for frig's sakes. Don't be so lazy.
I have used Angry IP scanner for quite some time now. Overall, it is a good tool. More specifically, because of the way it handles threading, it becomes unstable with large port scans on class B networks (even class C at times). On the other hand, it is great for targeted scans. What I mean is if you have a small range of open ports that you want to scan for, it is grat but if you tried to scan the entire port range (1-65535) you would never get results. On top of that, it tends to drop information as you increase the port range to scan. It is also a resource hog. Fire up task manager and watch your CPU cycles go through the roof.
I find it very helpful in enumerating info on Windows boxes on the network. I also use it to quickly dig up MAC address info on wireless networks. But I want to be sure you understand that it is only acurate for small port ranges or very specific targeted sweeps.
I currently have build 2.15 and it seems much better than the 2.13 release. I have posted some feature requests to the developers but I'm sure they wont be addressed anytime soon.
For the heavy duty scans, I use NMAP.
Hope this helps out Shrekkie.
Yes , Horse13,
I completely have to agree on your opinion. I use this tool mainly to maintain and troubleshoot my home and the little business network which I made, not for real scans.
Thnx to everyone on their honest opinion.
Greetz,
I have to agree with the you also, Angry ip scanner is a good tool. it's fast and does the job. of course i got my threads at 400 ms
My favorite scanner to date is Languard. So far its proven to be the most complete as it scans known vulns, shares, and has lots of options.

worth a look. Ive used angry and its ok too. :)
opsec
I've had bad luck with LanGuard. It actually missed a few vulnerabilities that NESSUS jumped all over. If I had to pick one tool, either commercial or open source, I'd have to go with NESSUS.

I will always be loyal to SuperScan 3
The Ip Scaner is very good Shrekkie but ip scanning is like spying on people you cant do much with a ip scanner itself but the ip adress can be used for lots of things and port scanning is when you have an ip and you want to take it one step further and find what ports are open on there computer now theres only one reason you would want both and that is to break in to a computer system.
Good Post Guy's!
