NetBrute Scanner

NetBrute Scanner is a lightweight Windows networking tool whose purpose is to help you scan your computer for available Windows File & Print Sharing resources and Internet services. This way, you can quickly identify security holes in your system.

You can take advantage of the utility’s portability status and copy it on USB flash drives or other portable devices. You can run it by opening the executable file (you don’t have to go through an installation process).

The application welcomes you with a well-structured suite of features. There’s no support for a help manual so you need to experiment with the built-in features in order to understand how it works.

NetBrute Scanner gives you the possibility to scan a single or multiple IP addresses for Windows File & Print Sharing resources, so you can secure them with your firewall. Plus, you get to look for available Internet services and identify TCP ports that can be blocked.

Last but not least, you are given the freedom to scan your web directories that are protected with HTTP authentication and test the users’ password strength.

To sum things up, NetBrute Scanner comes packed with several handy networking tools for helping you identify security issues which may comprise the safety of your computer. On the downside, not all of the program’s features can be described as highly intuitive, so rookies may need extra time in order to decode the process. The utility hasn’t been updated for a long time, so you may bump into compatibility issues on newer operating systems like Windows 8.
