Angry IP Scanner - Computer Networks
Angry IP Scanner (aka ipscan) is a small, fast, cross-platform open-source IP address and port scanner with a simple GUI.
It pings IPs, optionally resolves hostnames, finds MAC addresses, scans ports and can be extended with plugins (called fetchers).
It’s written mostly in Java and distributed under GPL license.

Features:
* Fast scanning of IP ranges (single IP, range, CIDR).
* Ping/host alive detection, hostname resolution, MAC address and vendor lookup.
* Port scanning (configurable port list / ranges).
* Extensible via plugins/fetchers to gather extra info about hosts.
* Export results to CSV, TXT, XML, LST.
* Portable builds available (no install required); official bundles include a Java runtime so separate JRE typically isn’t needed.
* Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
* There are installer and portable builds.
* Source code and releases are hosted on GitHub.
* Quickly discover devices on a LAN.
* Identify open ports/services for basic inventory or troubleshooting.
* Export host lists for documentation or further analysis.
* Simple, very fast, low resource usage, portable, extensible. Good for quick audits and inventory.

How to perform a basic scan:
* Download and run the appropriate build from the official site.
* Enter an IP range (e.g., 192.168.1.1-254 or 192.168.1.0/24).
* Choose which fetchers (Hostname, MAC, Ports, etc.) we want enabled.
* Click Start — results populate in the table and can be exported.
