Ipscan
ipscan is a cross-platform network auditor and Java-based network scanner used for discovering networked devices and exporting scan results. It functions as an IP address range scanner and a TCP/UDP port scanner to identify active hosts and open services on a network.
The application features a plugin-based fetcher architecture that allows the integration of custom data collection fetchers to retrieve specific hardware or software information from discovered hosts.
Its broader capabilities include local network discovery, network port auditing, and the creation of network asset inventories. Users can interact with the software through a graphical user interface with high-density screen scaling or via a command line interface for automated scanning.
Features
- Local Network Discovery - Identifies active devices and hosts on a local network by scanning specified IP address ranges.
- Port Scanning - Identifies active devices and open ports across a range of network addresses.
- Host Information Collections - Retrieves detailed hardware and software information from discovered network hosts using custom fetchers.
- Cross-Platform Networking - Provides a consistent network auditing and device discovery application across different operating systems.
- IP Address Probing - Probes local or internet addresses using ranges and lists to identify active hosts.
- IP Reachability Scanners - Pings specified ranges of IP addresses to map active network nodes.
- Network Scanners - Performs high-performance probing of network address spaces and port ranges to identify active hosts.
- Port Scanners - Probes specific TCP and UDP transport layer ports to determine the reachability of remote hosts.
- TCP Connectivity Probes - Identifies active hosts and open services by attempting to establish raw TCP connections via sockets.
- Service Availability Audits - Checks for open ports on multiple IP addresses to verify service availability and security configurations.
- Plugin-Based Architectures - Features a modular architecture that allows extending host data collection via external plugins.
- Network Probing Thread Pools - Employs a multi-threaded pool of worker threads to probe multiple IP addresses and ports simultaneously.
- Network Host Data Fetchers - Allows the integration of custom fetchers to retrieve specialized hardware or software information from discovered hosts.
- Scan Result Exporters - Exports discovered network assets and scan results into structured file formats for external analysis.
- Command Line Interfaces - Provides a command line interface for automated network scanning and task management without a GUI.
- Security Asset Inventories - Creates structured repositories of discovered network assets for documentation and security analysis.
- Terminal-Based Network Scanning - Enables the automation of IP and port probing through a terminal interface.
- Swing-Based UI Frameworks - Provides a cross-platform desktop user interface built with the Java Swing toolkit.
