N-MAP(Top Most Network Scanner).

Nmap.(The most famous Network Scanner Ever).

is a free and open source (license) utility for network exploration or security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are avalable for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (Nping).

An Over-view of N-map Features are:

Flexible: Supports dozens of advanced techniques for mapping out networks filled with IP filters, firewalls, routers, and other obstacles. This includes many port scanning mechanisms (both TCP & UDP), OS detection, version detection, ping sweeps, and more. See the documentation page.

Powerful: Nmap has been used to scan huge networks of literally hundreds of thousands of machines.

Portable: Most operating systems are supported, including Linux, Microsoft Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, IRIX, Mac OS X, HP-UX, NetBSD, Sun OS, Amiga, and more.

Easy: While Nmap offers a rich set of advanced features for power users, you can start out as simply as "nmap -v -A targethost". Both traditional command line and graphical (GUI) versions are available to suit your preference. Binaries are available for those who do not wish to compile Nmap from source.

Free: The primary goals of the Nmap Project is to help make the Internet a little more secure and to provide administrators/auditors/hackers with an advanced tool for exploring their networks. Nmap is available for free download, and also comes with full source code that you may modify and redistribute under the terms of the license.

Well Documented: Significant effort has been put into comprehensive and up-to-date man pages, whitepapers, tutorials, and even a whole book! Find them in multiple languages here.

Supported: While Nmap comes with no warranty, it is well supported by a vibrant community of developers and users. Most of this interaction occurs on the Nmap mailing lists. Most bug reports and questions should be sent to the nmap-dev list , but only after you read the guidelines. We recommend that all users subscribe to the low-traffic nmap-hackers  announcement list. You can also find Nmap on Facebook and Twitter . For real-time chat, join the #nmap channel on Freenode  or EFNet .

Acclaimed: Nmap has won numerous awards, including "Information Security Product of the Year" by Linux Journal, Info World and Codetalker Digest. It has been featured in hundreds of magazine articles, several movies, dozens of books, and one comic book series. Visit the press page for further details.

Popular: Thousands of people download Nmap every day, and it is included with many operating systems (Redhat Linux, Debian Linux, Gentoo, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc). It is among the top ten (out of 30,000) programs at the Freshmeat.Net repository. This is important because it lends Nmap its vibrant development and user support communities.

Tho most famous Network Scanner Ever ....used by Million of people,s in the world.(IT-Professionals and Computer Hackers Included).

Advanced IP Scanner.

Advanced IP Scanner is a free, fast and easy-to-use network scanner for Windows. In a matter of seconds, this utility finds all the computers on your network and provides easy access to their various resources, whether HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or shared folders. With Advanced IP Scanner, you can wake up and shut down remote groups of Windows machines. If you use Radmin remote access software, you will also enjoy the improved Radmin Server detection and integration capabilities, which allow you to connect to any scanned machine with Radmin Server.

Features:

Fast network scanning With Advanced IP Scanner 2.1, you can scan hundreds of IP addresses simultaneously at high speed. The software supports scanning of HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and shared folders. Scan your network to get more information about all connected devices including computers’ names and MAC-addresses.
 

Integration with Radmin remote access software

Advanced IP Scanner 2.1 and Radmin remote control software are deeply integrated. IP Scanner lets you scan your network, find all computers running Radmin Server, and connect to any one of them with one click. The free Radmin Viewer needs to be installed on your PC for you to access a remote machine running Radmin Server. With Radmin, you can access the remote PC in Full Control, File Transfer, and Telnet modes. Remote PC Shutdown This shuts down any remote machine or group of machines running a Windows operating system. You can use your default access rights or specify a login and password for shutdown. This feature is very handy for system administrators since it enables all computers in a customized list to be turned off in a single operation at the end of the working day.  Wake-On-LAN You can wake any machine or group of machines remotely using Advanced IP Scanner if the machines' network cards support the "Wake-On-LAN" feature.  Simple and user-friendly interface Advanced IP Scanner has a simple, user-friendly interface. For simpler batch operations, it lets you save a list of computers to be scanned in a Favorites list. Advanced IP Scanner will automatically load your Favorites at startup. You then can choose whether to scan your entire network or just the computers in the Favorites list.

Super Scan.

Another great tool for port scanning with dozens of other features.(only Designed for Windows-Enviroment).

SuperScan is a powerful TCP port scanner.

That includes a variety of additional networking tools like ping, traceroute, HTTP HEAD, WHOIS and more. It uses multi-threaded and asynchronous techniques resulting in extremely fast and versatile scanning. You can perform ping scans and port scans using any IP range or specify a text file to extract addresses from.

Other features include.

TCP SYN scanning,

 UDP scanning,

 HTML reports,

 built-in port description database,

 Windows host enumeration,

 banner grabbing and more.

A very famous port scanner.

Port Scanners.

A port scanner is a software application designed to probe a server or host for open ports. This is often used by administrators to verifysecurity policies of their networks and by attackers to identify running services on a host with the view to compromise it.

A port scan or portscan is "An attack that sends client requests to a range of server port addresses on a host, with the goal of finding an active port and exploiting a known vulnerability of that service.

Later on we will discuess some most common port scanners.

Course Content Mis.placed.

Dear Visitors,.
Due to some reason our Anti-Hacking Course contents has been mis.placed...we shall nt be able to provide more modules....
So we have decided to share a new session in which we will discuess Computer security softwares and also some of the legal softwares that are available in GPL(General Public Licence) and were used by Security team members and IT Professionals, So be a part of Computer security Blog and remain updated.
