The widely used Windows port scanning program SuperScan 4 received an update. It was a tool with improved host detection, increased scanning speed, and considerable banner-grabbing capabilities at the time of its release. It needed administrator permissions to operate because it was created mainly for Windows 2000 and XP.

The stronger scanning speed of SuperScan 4 was well known. It was a perfect tool for network administrators and security professionals who needed to quickly and effectively assess the security of their network because it could easily scan significant IP ranges. The use of several ICMP methods, TCP SYN scanning, and UDP scanning( using two methods) resulted in a quick scanning speed.

Superior Speed for Scanning

Enhanced Host Detection

Additionally, it provided enhanced host detection capabilities. The use of numerous ICMP techniques resulted in improved host detection, which made it possible to determine lived hosts on a network with greater accuracy. Security professionals needed to be able to easily and precisely identify any probable security threats on their network, so this was certainly crucial.

Capabilities for Extensive Banner- Grabbing

SuperScan 4 was well known for its comprehensive banner-grabbing capabilities. Security personnel was able to easily learn more about the kinds of services and software that were running on isolated hosts thanks to this feature. This knowledge was essential for spotting significant security flaws and figuring out the best course of action to take to protect a network.

Many Important Characteristics

SuperScan 4 offered a number of other important features that made it an essential tool for network administrators and security professionals, in addition to its faster scanning speed, greater host detection, and extensive banner-grabbing capabilities. These characteristics included:

• Support for unrestricted IP ranges
• CIDR formats and IP address import support ranges
• Simple HTML report creation
• Scanning of the source port
• Quick resolution of hostnames
• A collection of practical tools( ping, traceroute, Whois, etc.)
• Comprehensive host enumeration capabilities for Windows
