Angry IP scanner is a very fast IP scanner and port scanner. It is free and open-source software. It can scan IP addresses in any range as well as any their ports. Its binary file size is very small. Angry IP scanner simply pings each IP address to check if it’s alive, then optionally it is resolving its hostname, determines the MAC address, scans ports, etc. The amount of gathered data about each host can be extended with the available plugins.
It also has additional features, like NetBIOS information (computer name, workgroup name, and currently logged in Windows user), favorite IP address ranges, customizable openers, etc.
In order to increase scanning speed, it uses multithreaded approach: a separate threads is created for each scanned IP address. This program is mostly useful for network administrators to monitor and manage their networks.
