Dipiscan
What it is
Dipiscan is a Windows desktop utility for scanning IP ranges and retrieving information about machines on a network. It can identify a machine using its IP address, NetBIOS name, or DNS, and show the network route used to reach another machine. Users can also monitor a machine for changes since an earlier scan and add custom commands to the right-click menu. The software is available as an installer or as a portable version that runs without installation. Supported Windows versions are 7, 8, 10, and 11. Dipiscan is freeware, listed as free. Its maker, Dipisoft, is described as a one-person operation run by Damien Ponnelle. The maker also notes that some antivirus tools may flag its .NET programs because they are obfuscated to prevent decompilation.
