[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]

The command-line port IP/port scanner is nmap. There are a couple of GUI front ends to this program: nmapfe and knmap, although IMO you'd be better off using the command line version.

it's Angry IP scanner - for Windows
and i'm here searching for the same tools which can deliberate the same functions
yes i've tried nmap, but nmap can only resolve one IP at one time
i need to make it resolve in a range e.g 202.185.0.1 - 202.185.0.255
simple task such as IP to hostname resolve in a range of IP set

nmap can do ranges. You do it like this:
Code:
nmap 202.185.0.1-255
If you just want to see if the machine responds to pings (rather than doing a service scan, which is the default operation), you just add the -sP option. To save the results in a file, you can use shell re-direction - e.g.
Code:
nmap -sP 202.185.0.1-255 > my_scan_results.txt
There are many options to nmap, such as turning off DNS resolution (which can speed things up a lot), and doing scans in parallel etc etc etc. It is a very flexible tool. You should read the manual page to get an idea of what it is capable of.
