Multiple Solutions in one package

• A Network Information Gathering, Reconnaissance and Discovery Solution
  

  • Powerful Core DNS Tools. Specify the DNS you want to work with. Use NSLOOKUP or DiG to retrieve any of 47 resource record types from a DNS. Use DiG +trace to check a domain name or IP address from the root servers all the way down to the authoritative DNS. Need to work with a list of IP addresses or hostnames? Batch mode accepts a text list of IP addresses or hostnames and gives you the answers for all.

  • Quickly find the most common DNS records for an IP address or hostname or domain name. Get Basic DNS Records gives you SOA, A, NS, MX, CNAME, PTR, and TXT records if they exist in DNS.

  • Check a Domain's Zone in DNS. Two types of Zone Transfer are ready for you for help you review a zone. One automatically selects the Authoritative DNS for the zone and the other lets you enter it manually.

  • Powerful Specialized DNS Tools. We have specialized DNS tools for doing things you cannot do with NSLOOKUP. Auth Serial Check can be used to make sure a domain's authoritative name server zone serial numbers are in sync. DNS S/W Version can show the actual software version number a DNS is running. DNS Verify does an IP to Hostname to IP mapping check. IP Drilldown takes an IPv4 address and shows the arpa namespace records (SOA, NS, TXT, A etc.) for all 4 levels of an IP address. ENUM accepts a VOIP telephone number and queries an ENUM e164 root server for the SIP or H323 records. SPF/Domain Keys shows those records for domain so you can check email authentication processes. Need to work with a list of IP addresses or hostnames? Batch mode accepts a text list of IP addresses or hostnames and gives you the answers for all.

  • Test your computer's default DNS settings. Your default DNS settings process IP address or hostname lookups - Test Default DNS tool tests each DNS your computer is talking with and tell you if it is working and how fast it is. We have a Simple Query tool for testing your computer's ability to lookup an IP address or hostname.

  • Find out who owns a domain name or an IP address fast with our advanced whois and rwhois query tools that feature automatic whois server selection. Need to lookup several domains quickly? Batch mode is there for you.

  • Where is an IP address located? Our IP to Country tool can show you the country it is supposed to be located in. This feature is also integrated into whois and traceroute.

  • Find active devices in any IPv4 address range using our ping sweep utility called NetScanner.

  • Find hidden IPv4 devices on your local network segment or subnet (LAN). ARP Scan exposes hidden devices that do not respond to ping.

  • Find visible, hidden and writable shares in a Microsoft Windows Domain. NetBIOS share detection shows visible and hidden shares. It can do a writable share test find shared directories exposed to attacks by worms and viruses.

  • Find open TCP or UDP ports on a device. The Port Scanner tool uses several different methods to determine if a TCP or UDP port is open or active  on a target machine.

  • Display your DHCP Server offerings, check for misconfigured offering and find rogue DHCP Servers using the DHCP Server Discovery tool.

  • 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 can tell you if an email address will work.

  • Test SMTP email servers. Send test mail and check for an Open Relay.

  • Capture packets from your network. Packet Viewer captures packets coming to your wired ethernet card. Preserve packet data for future analysis and export packet captures to other programs like WireShark.

  • Gather data from network devices using our Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) tools. SNMPv1/v2c tools include walk, get, set and several advanced queries such as remote ARP cache, remote listening ports and more. The SNMP Dictionary Attack tool can try 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 brands of SNMP enabled managed ethernet network switches to show devices connected to the switch ports.
    

• A Security Testing Solution
  
  • Find hidden IPv4 devices on your local network segment (LAN). ARP Scan shows all active IPv4 connected devices even if those devices have an integrated firewall protecting them from standard ping sweep or port scan methods.
  • Find IPv4 devices on any reachable network. NetScanner uses ping sweep to find IPv4 connected devices on any reachable IPv4 network.
  • Find devices listening to network traffic on your local network segment (LAN). Promiscuous Mode Scanner shows devices listening to (snooping/sniffing) network packet traffic.
  • Check a device 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) along with Packet Viewer can assist in testing systems and firewalls for response to unusual customized packets.
  • Find visible, hidden and writable shares in a Microsoft Windows Domain. NetBIOS share detection shows visible and hidden shares. It can do a writable share test find shared directories exposed to attacks by worms and viruses.
  • 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 Internet Explorer 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.
