NetScanTools Pro is an integrated collection of internet information gathering utilities for Windows Vista/2003/XP/2000. Use it to research IP addresses, hostnames, domain names, email addresses, URLs automatically** or with manual tools.

**Automated tools are started interactively by the user. By Automated we mean that several tools are used to do research, then the results are presented in your web browser.

NetScanTools Pro Benefits

• Saves time when you need to gather information about Internet or local LAN users, network devices, IP addresses, ports, and many other network specifics.
• Removes the guess-work from Internet investigation by automating research requiring multiple network tools.
• Produces clear, concise results reports in the format that you prefer - web page or a file easily imported by a spreadsheet.
• Greatly enhances many standard network tools.
• At $249 US List Price (ESD Full Download or on CDROM with extra shipping cost), NetScanTools Pro represents the best value of any investigative tool!
• Also available as a USB Flash Drive portable application -- separately priced and includes a USB Flash Drive.

Multiple Solutions in one package

• A Network Information Gathering, Reconnaissance and Discovery Solution
   

  • Gather information from DNS. Use DNS Checking and Testing tools such as NSLOOKUP or Dig along with any of 43 record query options. Check zone transfers with List Domain or Dig w/AXFR. DNS Validation (IP to Hostname to IP mapping check) is found in both the NSLOOKUP and HyperTrans tools. Test Default Servers to verify that all name servers that your computer talks with are responding.

  • Find information about domain name registrations and IPv4 address assignments fast with our advanced whois and rwhois query tool that features automatic whois server selection.

  • Locate active devices in an IPv4 range using our ping sweep utility called NetScanner. It combines a ping sweep utility with DNS queries and NetBIOS queries.

  • Locate active devices in your local network segment using ARP Scan. All active IPv4 devices must respond to ARP request packets.

  • Find visible and hidden shares in a Microsoft Windows Domain. NetBIOS share detection shows visible and hidden shares. It also does a 'writable' share test find shares subject to attacks by worms and viruses.

  • Find open TCP or UDP ports. The Port Scanner tool uses several different methods to determine if a TCP or UDP port is active (used by a service or daemon) on a target machine.

  • Test DHCP Server offerings and find rogue DHCP Servers. DHCP Server Discovery finds rogue or misconfigured DHCP servers.

  • Find the route packets are taking from your machine to a target machine. Traceroute includes the firewall penetrating TCP traceroute plus standard ICMP and UDP traceroute methods.

  • Validate an Email Address. Email Address Validation assists in verifying an email address status.

  • Test an SMTP Server by sending mail and checking for an Open Relay. Open SMTP Relay Checking assist in showing configuration issues with SMTP servers.

  • Capture Packets from the network. Packet Viewer captures packets going through your wired ethernet card. This program has the ability to preserve packet data for future analysis and export packet captures to other programs like WireShark.

  • Gather data using SNMP. SNMPv1/v2c tools include walk, get, set and several advanced queries such as remote ARP cache, remote listening ports and more. A new SNMP Dictionary Attack tool uses a common password dictionary to guess the community name of an SNMP enabled device.

  • Find and keep track of IP/MAC Address Mappings. IP and MAC address associations found using NetScanner, ARP, SNMP, and NetBIOS can be automatically updated and maintained in the IP/MAC address management database.

  • Numerous useful utilities like Subnet Calculator, TTCP for network speed checking, Ping, ARP Ping, and safe URL web page capture with obscured URL decoding.

  • Map Network Switches. The optional Manage Switch Port Mapping tool works with many SNMP enabled managed ethernet network switches.
     

• A Security Testing Solution
   
  • Find hidden IPv4 devices on your LAN or local network segment. ARP Scan rapidly shows all active IPv4 connected devices even if those devices have an integrated firewall protecting them from ping sweep or port scan methods.
  • Find IPv4 devices on any reachable network segment. NetScanner uses ping sweep to find IPv4 connected devices on any reachable IPv4 network.
  • Find devices listening to network traffic on your LAN or local network segment. Promiscuous Mode Scanner shows devices listening to (snooping/sniffing) network packet traffic.
  • Check a target for listening TCP or UDP ports. Port Scan checks for unauthorized or unintentionally installed services or open listening ports on IPv4 connected devices.
  • Test the response of a device or firewall to TCP/UDP/ICMP or CDP packets. Packet Generator (TCP/UDP/ICMP/CDP), Ping, Traceroute (ICMP/UDP/TCP modes), NetScanner ping sweep can assist in testing systems and firewalls for vulnerabilities and exposed ports.
  • Find open (writable) Windows shares on your LAN or local network segment. NetBIOS Info can do this and look for exposed NetBIOS info on Windows machines.
  • Find IPv4 address owner or allocated business and what country they are from. Our advanced whois and rwhois query tool shows who owns the IP address showing up in your logs.
  • Examine IE caches. Cache Forensics shows Internet Explorer history, cache and cookie information plus it shows Protected Storage information containing passwords and IE auto-complete data for the currently logged in user.

  • Check for misconfigured SMTP servers. Email Address Validation and Open SMTP Relay Checking show configuration issues with SMTP servers.
     

• A Training Solution
   
• NetScanTools Pro is a great tool to help train people on the workings of various TCP/IP utilities. You can also use it to demonstrate security vulnerabilities and some of the common techniques used to map and access networks and machines.
• NetScanTools Pro is used in network security and reconnaissance or traceback training courses taught by Laura Chappell of the Protocol Analysis Institute.
• A "whitehat" toolkit used in "ethical hacking" training courses.
