Blue IP Scanner

Blue IP Scanner is a very simple IP scanning utility that provides only the basic tools to check a user-defined range of IPs.

The application has a fairly user-friendly interface and it needs just a few adjustments before the actual IP scanning process begins.

You need for example to specify the IP range to scan, define the ping timeout and decide whether you want to resolve hostname or not. After that, it's enough to press the “Start Scan” button to check the selected IPs.

As you can see, Blue IP Scanner is pretty basic, so there are no other configuration screens or menus at your disposal. There's a dedicated tool to save the IP scan results separately as a CSV file, but other than that, it remains a minimal utility.

The scanning process goes fast and doesn't stress up the computer too much, at least not when you're scanning just a few IPs.

Things are slightly different when Blue IP Scanner has to deal with larger IP ranges, but still, it remains a decent application when it comes to the amount of resources it needs to do its job.

The main window displays only the IP address, the host status and the host name, so some of the users may be disappointed as there's no way to open the scanned IPs or at least get more information on a specific machine.

Overall, Blue IP Scanner is one of the simplest IP scanning utilities on the market, but it does what it says without hampering computer performance. It runs well on all Windows versions, but it provides absolutely no other feature beside the main IP scanning tool.
