Angry IP Scanner

What Angry IP Scanner is

Angry IP Scanner is a free, open-source desktop tool for scanning IP addresses and ports. It accepts IP ranges, random addresses, or input files in any format. It can check whether hosts respond to pings and optionally resolve hostnames, determine MAC addresses, and scan ports. Other listed features include NetBIOS information, favorite IP ranges, web server detection, and customizable openers. Java plugins can add ways to fetch, ping, export, and supply scanning data. Results can be saved as CSV, TXT, XML, or IP-Port list files, and a command-line interface is available. The software runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux under the GPLv2 license. Installation is not required, and the maker says it can be copied and used anywhere. It is described as mainly useful for network administrators monitoring and managing networks. The FAQ notes that some antivirus vendors flagged the older ipscan.exe as potentially unwanted or a risky hacktool, while stating that version 3.x is not detected.
