Network administrators get a free networking utility

Nsauditor created Free Port Scanner, a utility that can be used on Windows networks. It allows network administrators connect to all connected PCs and view the status of each machine's ports. The IT professional can also check for vulnerabilities and find out which services are running on each PC.

The app sends a message through specified ports and monitors the replies. Any issues discovered by the scan can be addressed by an IT administrator who can then address them. Nmap and SoftPerfect Network Scanner are two other network management suites available.

Why do hackers use port scanning

Port scanning is a popular technique hackers use to identify weak points in a network. Both hackers and legitimate IT professionals use port scanning for the exact same purpose. The only difference is the purpose of the exercise--preventative or nefarious. It's a race against the clock to fill in the gaps before a criminal spots the opportunity.

Is Port Scanner free?

It is free for a limited time, but you will have to pay for the full version if you need it. If you require advanced features, there is no benefit to the free version.

How do I remove Port Scanner?

The app is not available in the Microsoft Store. You will need to uninstall it using the Windows control panel's 'Uninstall or modify a program' section. Here are the steps to get rid of the program.

    Locate it in the apps listing, right-click it and select "Uninstall".
Check out the open ports

Free Port Scanner is an excellent option if you want to determine which ports are open on a network. Although the UI is a little outdated, it's easy to use and a great resource for IT professionals. It's easy to see all the open ports in your network with scan results.

Free Port Scanner is available to all IT professionals, amateurs, and IT experts. It helps you monitor your network's security.
