Angry IP Scanner for Mac

What this utility does

Angry IP Scanner is a compact network discovery utility that probes a specified IP range and reports which hosts respond. It works across operating systems and will also enumerate open ports on discovered machines.

Free alternative to try

LanScan (no cost) is a solid option worth evaluating if you want a straightforward, no-frills scanner.

• Connect via FTP
• Open the host’s HTTP/HTTPS services in a browser
• Browse shared network folders

• Hostname (computer name)
