Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Angry IP Scanner (ipscan) is an open-source, lightweight, cross-platform network scanner allowing the users to easily scan IP addresses and ports.
The software pings all the available IP addresses in the network and resolves its hostname, determines the MAC addresses and scans ports. Also, it provides NetBIOS information: computer name, workgroup name, favorite IP address ranges and is capable to export the output as CSV, TXT, XML or IP-Port list files. The Angry IP Scanner functionality can also be extended via third party plugins and add-ons.
The latest version available is Angry IP Scanner 3.3.2, which has been released a while ago, coming with the below changes:
- Much smarter HostnameFetcher, which queries mDNS and NetBIOS in case standart DNS reverse lookup doesn’t provide results
- Fixed prepopulation of feeder from command-line
- Fixed dimensions on command-line usage dialog
- Updated MAC vendors
