Check data packets
Advanced IP Scanner scans its attached network to identify addresses of different devices. It gives you information about these connections and lets you access the files that are being shared.
Scan IP addresses and retrieve information
You can get all the information you want to know about browsing activities on your Wi-Fi network.
This program may be just too effective at picking up files that are shared between computers on the LAN. While the software itself is safe, it has been used to facilitate some ransomware.
Advanced also gives you the power to control computers on the network remotely through RDP and Radmin. If the PC has these, the software can turn them on and off at will. This feature is one that alternative program Angry IP Scanner does not offer.
The developers have made the Advanced Scanner open-source. It also has a simple design that makes it easy for beginners to learn how to use. Additionally, much like Advanced Port Scanner, it offers excellent utility for experts.
Where can you run this program?
You can run it on any Windows OS after Vista.
Is there a better alternative?
No. It is the best, boasting more features than Advanced Port and Angry. Port is not compatible with Windows 8 or 10. However, Angry IP does come with the option to add more plug-ins to give it greater utility.
Our take
You gain access to the whole network you are connected to, even individual computers. It is a powerful tool for those who want to watch the IPs on their internet.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you need a light network utility, this is a perfect program for you.
