Designed for all network administrators, Slitheris Network Scanner can quickly scan the local network and retrieve detailed information about each and every workstation or connected device.

Such a tool can be used in various situations. For instance, it is a real asset if you want to discover all the devices in the network, even the ones that cannot be pinged since it enables you to get an overview of the network’s architecture and avoid purchasing costly duplicate devices.

Relying on a powerful scanning engine, this application gathers information about all the computers that are connected to the same network as you, organizing them in different IP ranges and showing the total number of available IP addresses. The engine status and search statistics are also displayed, alongside the ping sweep status.

You can opt for scanning an IP range, analyzing the entire network or manually adding IP address ranges to process.

There is a plethora of information Slitheris Network Scanner shows you about each workstation or device, starting with the device name and its IP address, even for network sections that lack ARP capability.

If you want to check the OS version of network computers, Slitheris Network Scanner is one good option. Not only that it enables you to check out the OS edition and build number, but it detects the device type, the group it belongs to, its MAC address, and the NetBIOS name. You can see the amount of shared data, the latest booting time and the name of the current user.

As the network is analyzed, an IP map is built, showing the ping replies, the live scans and the running discovery scans. Slitheris Network Scanner can also show you the clock differences between workstations, so you can make the necessary adjustments easier.

Slitheris Network Scanner does its job as promised and is quite handy to have around as a simple means to analyze the network layout. Nevertheless, there are a few functions that some of its competitors do have, such as real-time monitoring, email notifications for unresponsive IPs or reporting capabilities.
