SoftPerfect Network Scanner is a multi-threaded IPv4/IPv6 scanner that comes with a fresh, modern user interface and a bunch of advanced features. The app has been designed for both system admins and general users who have an interest in computer security.

Packed with functionality, SoftPerfect Network Scanner can retrieve nearly any information regarding network computers via WMI, SNMP, HTTP, and NetBios; can detect hardware MAC-addresses, even across routers; retrieves currently logged-on users, configured user accounts, and uptime; supports remote SSH and PowerShell command execution; plus, it can retrieve any system information via WMI, remote registry, file system and service manager. And if all that wasn’t enough, it’s also able to resolve host names and auto-detect local and external IP address ranges. For network admins, it also supports remote shutdown and Wake-On-LAN.
