LanSpy Review - What is LanSpy?
LanSpy is a program that gathers the most important information about any computer that's connected to your network, giving you an accurate picture of all the computers that are part of it. It consists of many utilities brought together in a single application with an easy-to-use interface.
It pings the host of any machine in your network and also performs many other network checks. It also has a fast port scanner that gathers info about open ports on remote systems and shows services using those ports. Moreover, it can display the services that are currently active on the system, as well as the installed software.
Another interesting feature of this tool is its Wake-On-LAN function that lets you remotely wake up a computer compatible with the technology. This feature is perfect if you need to troubleshoot a system or just to verify its functionality.
In addition, the utility is able to gather other info about remote computers, such as Ping, Domain and NetBios names, MAC address, Server information, Domain (workgroup) information, Domain controllers, Remote control, Time, Disks, Transports, Users, Logged users, Security options, Shared resources, Sessions, Open files, Services, Registry and Event log. However, it requires access to the scanned system to collect this data.
The tool comes with a few other useful utilities, such as LanWhoIs and LanCalculator, which let you find out who registered any website or domain name, when and where it was created and more. Additionally, it has a handy converter that allows you to quickly calculate the broadcast address, the subnet mask and the net mask inversion which is used in the access control lists of Cisco equipment.
