Free IP scanner 1.8-Quick and easy port scanner

Wed, 13 Jul 2011 08:00:00 +0200

This is one IP scanner that both network administrators will appreciate because it does a simple but important job with minimum fuss. Free IP Scanner can scan hundreds of computers per second which is ideal for administrators. The developers claim that it can do this by virtue of its multi-thread scan technology. It pings each IP address to see if its is responding and then resolves the hostname, scans ports, etc.

Free IP scanner can also display NetBIOS information: host name, workgroup, currently logged user and MAC addresses. The information obtained can be exported into a file as a plain text file which is useful if you have to log the number and IP details of each PC on your network. Free IP Scanner doesn't require any installation or additional DLLs - you simply execute it from it's own folder and it will run immediately.

This is an incredibly quick and powerful program and should be in any network administrators toolbox.

Commview for WiFi 6.2-Wireless analyzer and network monitor

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 08:00:00 +0200

Are you always looking for wireless hotspots or are you dissatisfied with Windows wireless network manager?

If so, CommView for WiFi is a powerful alternative for 802.11 a/b/g/n networks. Despite it's power and advanced features, it still remains remarkably easy to use and is suitable for anyone who's new to wireless networking. The display shows you a list of the nearest access points and stations including per-node and per-channel statistics, signal strength, a list of packets and network connections, protocol distribution charts, etc. By doing this, Commview for WiFi allows you to examine packets, pinpoint network problems, perform site surveys, and troubleshoot software and hardware.

Although not an official use, Commview for WiFi can be used to decrypt WEP or WPA-PSK keys by "sniffing" packets and then using a program to crack them. However, one problem you may find is that it doesn't work with all wireless adapters especially those that come pre-installed within laptops. The list of cards that are supported can be found on the Commview for WiFi website although they are listed by manufacturer, not the model of your laptop.

Powerful and easy to use, Commview for WiFi is an interesting alternative to most wireless managers although note that it won't help you find more networks - only upgrading your wireless card can do that.

DU Meter 6.03-Graphically control transfer velocity

Tue, 30 Oct 2012 08:00:00 +0100

DU Meter is an app that will help to regulate the amount of traffic or data running through your system, without the need for expensive network administration software.

DU Meter is a free utility which includes an extensive logging facility, flexible events system, and it works with virtually all types of network connections including phone modems, DSL, cable modem, LAN and satellite. By using DU Meter, you can observe or anticipate unexpected changes and even receive alerts about dangerous or unexpected network activity. From a pretty basic app, DU Meter has now been updated to make it a pretty impressive package that incorporates a much improved graphical user interface and a new mini mode in which the program operates extremely discreetly. In addition, the program now uses a real database engine, which allows for much more accurate and detailed alerts regarding unusual network activity. It should be noted that in Windows Vista, DU Meter is even more easily accessibly thanks to a sidebar gadget that unfortunately isn't available in other versions of Windows.

For basic network monitoring and prevention of unexpected internet loss or abnormal activity, DU Meter has it all.

UltraVNC 1.0.9.6-VNC Client/Server (remote desktop)

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 08:00:00 +0200

Whenever someone needs my help with their computer I usually connect with them through a screen sharing software such as CrossLoop.

However, this can be a very bandwidth-heavy way of doing it.

Plus, of course, the recipient needs to have the software installed. That's why UltraVNC is a useful alternative - an easy-to-use, fast and free software that can display the screen of another computer on your own screen.

The difference between UltraVNC and other screen sharers is quite simply the lightness and speed of it.

Of course, the recipient needs to have UltraVNC installed but once they have, you have a whole host of options open to you including file transfers, a viewing toolbar, scaling options and even text chat.

However, what impresses most about UltraVNC is the speed, Where some screen sharing programs severely lag behind because of bandwidth issues, UltraVNC is lightning fast at connecting and sharing.
