SoftPerfect Network Scanner is a multi-threaded IP and NetBIOS scanner that can be used by both a system administrator and users who have interest in computer security. SoftPerfect Network Scanner pings computers, scans for listening TCP ports and shows what type of resources are being shared on a network; and this includes system and hidden. With this program, you can mount shared resources that are found by SoftPerfect Network Scanner as network drives. All you need to do is to simply browse them by using Windows Explorer and the likes of it.

Among the very latest changes made to SoftPerfect Network Scanner 5.1.0 include the following: addition of auto-open the most recent file option; addition of noncontiguous IP address range mode; addition of monitor vendor, model and serial number retrieval; shared resources are no longer automatically exported unless specified explicitly with the /cols switch; and others.

Among the old features SoftPerfect Network Scanner is well-known for include: detects hardware MAC-addresses, even across routers; detects your internal and external IP address; ability to launch third party applications; supports Wake-On-LAN, remote shutdown and sending network messages; scans for listening TCP ports, some UDP and SNMP services; and many more.

This is an outstanding freeware program with extra features to give out better performances than other freeware programs in its category.
