Angry IP Scanner 3.0

Angry IP Scanner Editor's Review

Angry IP scanner is a very fast and simple program which scans the IPs in the network and lets you know the WINS name, computer name, MAC addresses and the user currently signed in.

The program is very fast because it uses separate threads for each scanned address. The very first step is to ping each IP address to check if it's alive, then optional it can resolve the hostname and tries to connect at specified port.

Points forts: Easy to use and fast scanning ability; it's freeware. It includes shortcuts to applications or commands useful for further investigation such as 'ping', 'traceroute', 'Telnet', etc. The results can be exported as plain text reports.

Points faibles: If you want a network utility don't try this one.

Conclusions: Good for small networks.
