Softperfect Network Scanner is a portable IP, NetBios and SNMP scanner that runs under all Microsoft operating systems starting with Windows 95 including Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. The 600 Kilobyte executable can be launched from any location on the computer and provides a clean interface immediately.
It can automatically detect the Local IP Range, External IP Addresses and IP Range from a Host Name. Those information are automatically inserted into the scanning parameters. A scan resolves host names, pings the servers, detects MAC addresses, hidden shared folders and write accessible shares.
Some of the options are disabled by default and have to be enabled in the program’s options. This is for example the case for MAC address detection and discovery of Open Ports. The ports have to be entered in a comma separated list, by default only port 80 is checked.
The network scanner has been designed to scan local and remote networks. Basically any IP range can be entered and Softperfect Network Scanner will scan it.
The network scanner supports additional features that make it interesting. I can launch third party applications that can be integrated into the software. It does support Wake-On-Lan and Remote Shutdown, can mount and explore network resources and retrieve logged in users.
