3R PORT SCANNER

In order for computers to communicate with each other, it is not enough just to have them connected with a network cable. They use protocols to exchange information, which are basically languages that are meant to convey information across a certain medium, such is the network in question. Hence, ports are used as a pathway for this information to pass through, which is why they need to be open in order to receive or send data.

3R PORT SCANNER is a software utility that enables you to scan a given IP address for any such open ports, as well as display them in an easy-to-read list for your convenience. As previously mentioned, opened ports are used to communicate with other computers, but some of them can be also used without your knowledge, which can cause you a lot of headaches.

Thus, the application scans the entire port range for any possible openings and you can view each one of them in an organized list. Although you cannot perform any action on them from inside the utility, it does allow you to spot any unrecognized open communication ports and you can proceed to secure them by using another tool.

Despite the fact that most of them are not typically used on a day-to-day personal computer, there are over 60,000 ports available for connection, which means that it would take a long time to scan all of them. To that effect, 3R PORT SCANNER allows you to start the scan procedure from a specified port number, as well as stop it whenever you pass the ones you were interested in.

Unfortunately, even with the ability to choose the starting point, the application still takes a long time to scan the ports and it can be quite a while if you intend on performing a complete scan. On the other hand, due to the low system requirements, the utility can be kept in the background as it runs, without interfering with your other activities.

Even though it does not offer you too many options outside the actual scanning, 3R PORT SCANNER does what it promises and is able to properly identify all the open ports available on your system. The intuitive interface make it a friendly tool even for beginners, since all you need to do is choose the desired IP address and start the scan process.
