About NetScanTools LE

NetScanTools® LE is an Internet Information collection tool for Windows that helps you track down information about an IP Address, Hostname, Domain Name, Email Address or URL (web address).


This version of NetScanTools is designed especially for Law Enforcement. We asked our Law Enforcement NetScanTools Pro users what tools they really needed. We took their favorite tools, streamlined them into an easy-to-use interface and made the program 'case' oriented. And 'case' oriented means that all your queries are documented, time stamped and saved automatically. Reports are direct and to the point. There are no distractions in the reports - you get the results you need, not fancy logos.


This program is designed for and has been tested on Windows 10, 8.x, 7 - 32/64 bit. Requires GUI, not a command line tool.


In case you are wondering, this program will work on an Apple Mac® if you use VMware Fusion or Parallels to run Windows and NetScanTools in a virtual machine.


NetScanTools LE is designed for:
  • Law Enforcement Officers
  • Prosecutors
  • Electronic Crime Scene Investigators - First Responders
  • Corporate Investigators
  • Security Consultants

NetScanTools LE Features

  • Easy for non-technical personnel to learn and use.
  • Case oriented, all your work is automatically saved to a database. You won't lose something because you forgot to save it.
  • All queries are time stamped for documentation purposes.
  • Information sources are clearly shown in results.
  • Automated Tools engine operates several Manual Tools for you using a single input of an IP address, hostname, domain name, URL or email address. This is a "tell me everything about XYZ" tool.
  • Manual Tools: Bulk IP/Hostname Resolution, DNS Tools - Core, Email Validate, Finger, IP to Country, Ping, Ping Sweep, Port Scanner, Real Time Blacklist Check, Text Only Web Page Grabber, Traceroute, Whois. WARNING: depending on your jurisdiction and policies, you may need permission to use some of these tools against a target. Please carefully review each tool prior to use. Details about how each works are contained in the help file (press F1).
  • MD5 hash signatures are included for checking the integrity of exported test results files, packet capture files and validation of internal database tables.
  • Packet Capture can optionally be used to collect and save the network data in its native Ethernet packet format allowing you to document the process of acquiring the data shown in the results reports. Captured network data can be viewed directly in powerful packet analysis tools such as Wireshark and can help you show that the evidence matches the reports and is unchanged. Exported capture files also include a companion MD5 hash signature file.
  • Reports for Automated and Manual Tools can be retrieved from the Case database at any time.
  • Reports are HTML formatted and viewed in your web browser for easy printing, saving or emailing.
