NetworkActiv Scanner

NetworkActiv Scanner is a friendly and easy-to-use app that helps you scan, explore, and manage your internal LAN and external WAN networks. It offers three modes: advanced, simple, and wizard. So whether you're a tech whiz or just starting out, there's something for you!

Easy to Navigate Layout

The layout might look a bit old-school, but it’s super intuitive! Depending on the mode you choose, you'll see different options displayed on your screen. If you’re new to this kind of tool, starting with the wizard mode can be really helpful to get the hang of things.

Installation Options

When you set it up, it gives you two choices: go for a full installation or pick the portable version. The portable one is cool because you can save the files on a USB stick and run it from any computer without needing to install anything.

Custom Search Features

You can easily search for all your network devices like computers and servers. Just set a host name or use your local connection. You’ll also need to choose what type of search you want to perform (like HTTP or FTP) and how fast you'd like it to go—from slow scans to super quick ones! Plus, when you're done scanning, you can save the results in a TXT file for later.

Modes Explained

If you're using the simple method, it checks specific port ranges at your chosen speed for one IP address. The advanced mode splits into two panels where you can enter detailed info like port areas or check for threats running in the background.

Detailed Results

The right side of that panel lets you search multiple hosts for a given port or even do a PING test. Once you've started an operation, you'll see response times along with how many ports were scanned. When everything's finished, all results show up with their types (like TCP connect or UDP), along with their IPs and ports so you can access them directly or through other programs.

A Handy Tool for Everyone!

All in all, NetworkActiv Scanner is a reliable little program that's perfect if you're looking to scan both internal and external networks easily. It's small but powerful—just what you'd want in an app!
