Information Gathering IP Scanner

In this session, we are going to learn IP scanning. Before finding the vulnerabilities in the network, it is a good practice to scan all the available IP addresses in the network and resolving the host name. Sometimes the network might have servers, printers connected to that network and some machines with numerous ports opened and some low security ports and devices like laptops, mobiles, PDAs etc. So, gathering information about the IP addresses in the network always the important thing to do in network scanning.

Angry IP scanner is a lightweight, cross-platform IP address and port scanner. It can scan IP addresses in any range. It can be freely copied and used anywhere. In order to increase the scanning speed, it uses multithreaded approach, wherein a separate scanning thread is created for each scanned IP address. Angry IP Scanner simply pings each IP address to check if it�s alive, and then, it resolves its hostname, determines the MAC address, scans ports, etc. The amount of gathered data about each host can be saved to TXT, XML, CSV, or IP-Port list files. With help of plugins, Angry IP Scanner can gather any information about scanned IPs.
