My buddy Jason whom I met in college, and I got hired on at my day job, takes an interest in playing with cool free software that he finds online like me. I asked him to do some guest posts, but he said he doesn't like to write. So I will have to write about this tool that he showed me, which I think is now one of my favorite applications because it does so friggin' much!
This software is called Net Tools, and is a systems administrators dream! It has over 175 built in tools for it which I will list in just a second or two. First I want to give an explanation of what Net Tools is. This is from the website:
Net Tools is a comprehensive set of host monitoring, network scanning, security, administration tools and much more, all with a highly intuitive user interface. It's an ideal tool for those who work in the network security, administration, training, internet forensics or law enforcement internet crimes fields. Net Tools is mainly written in Microsoft Visual Basic 6, Visual C++, Visual C# and Visual Studio .NET.
