Slitheris Network Discovery is a new premium network scanner for Windows, created to help find, identify and provide other valuable information for network devices, PCs and servers. Methods and technology found nowhere else allow Slitheris to get more information from many types of devices. The Portable Deployment Kit (PDK) w/ label printer ($19,217.45) is listed at CLIN 2011BF. The PDK Lite/PDK II with tablet, and without printer ($7,729.95) is listed at CLIN 2011AC. Both PDK and PDK Lite/PDK II orders provide a 5 year warranty based on normal usage. Hello, Is it possible to add ipscan24.exe Advanced IP Scanner to the Directory? Thanks in advance!
How Nmap Scanner works?
Nmap is a very effective port scanner, known as the de-facto tool for finding open ports and services.Nmap performs several phases in order to achieve its purpose:
1. Nmap host discovery
The first phase of a port scan is host discovery. Here the scanner attempts to check if the target host is live before actually probing for open ports. This phase is needed mainly when scanning a large range of IP addresses in order to optimize the time for the whole scan. It does not make any sense to waste time probing for open ports on a 'dead' host (ex. there is no server at a given IP).However, this phase can sometimes lead to not finding some open ports because the host 'liveness' cannot be always correctly detected (ex. because of firewalls which permit access only to a certain port and drop everything else). In this case you have the option 'Don't ping host' (or Nmap -Pn) which skips the host discovery phase and just does the port scanning.
2. Open ports detection
In order to determine if a TCP port is open, Nmap takes advantage of the Three way handshake mechanism used by TCP to establish a connection between a client and a server.There are two main methods for detecting open TCP ports:
Connect-Scan (Nmap -sT)
In this case Nmap does a full three-way handshake with the target server, establishing a full TCP connection. The sequence of packets for this type of scan is:SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK, RST.The advantage of this method is that it does not require root/administrator access on the client machine, while the disadvantage is that it is rather noisy and the server can log the connections attempted from other hosts.
SYN-Scan (Nmap -sS)
This is the default scanning method, also enabled in our scanner. In this method, Nmap does a half-open TCP connection, knowing that the port is open immediately after the server responds withSYN-ACK. The sequence of packets in this case is: SYN, SYN-ACK, RST. The advantage of this method is that it is stealthier than a Connect-Scan but it does require Nmap to run with root/administrator privileges (because it needs to create low-level raw sockets to send the individual packets, instead of leaving the kernel stack to do the connection).
2. Nmap service detection
After Nmap has found a list of ports, it can do a more in-depth check to determine the exact type of service that is running on that port, including its version. This is needed because it is possible for common services to run on non-standard ports (ex. a web server running on port 32566). Service detection is enabled with the commandNmap -sV.Nmap does service detection by sending a number of predefined probes for various protocols to the target port in order to see if it responds accordingly. For example, it sends:
- SSL CLIENT HELLO - to check for SSL services
- HTTP GET request - to check for HTTP service
- SIP OPTIONS - to check for SIP/RTSP protocol
- and many others
A brief history of Nmap Port Scanner
Nmap was first introduced in September 1997 in the article The Art of Scanning, in the well known Phrack Magazine, by its author - Fyodor (Gordon Lyon).Since it got a lot of notoriety, Nmap has been referenced in multiple books and it was also used in several artistic movies as a hacking tool (ex. The Matrix).
It has greatly evolved over time (the current version is 7.70) from a simple port scanner to a robust tool containing advanced fingerprinting capabilities and a complex scripting engine. Nmap currently has more than 500 scripts that can run after service detection has been disabled, covering aspects as advanced service discovery, brute-forcing and some vulnerability identification.
Kismet is a wireless network and device detector, sniffer, wardriving tool, and WIDS (wireless intrusion detection) framework.
Kismet works with Wi-Fi interfaces, Bluetooth interfaces, some SDR (software defined radio) hardware like the RTLSDR, and other specialized capture hardware.
Kismet works on Linux, OSX, and, to a degree, Windows 10 under the WSL framework. Wd my book doesn t show up. On Linux it works with most Wi-Fi cards, Bluetooth interfaces, and other hardware devices. On OSX it works with the built-in Wi-Fi interfaces, and on Windows 10 it will work with remote captures.
Kismet 2020-12-R3 released!
Kismet 2020-12 is a huge release with a new webserver core, new networking core, websockets support, websockets remote capture, and huge memory improvements. 2020-12-R3 is a minor update to fix two small issues discovered with the R1 and R2 releases.

Kismet plugins
With the new Kismet codebase (Kismet-2018-Beta1 and newer), Kismet supports plugins which extend the WebUI functionality via Javascript and browser-side enhancements, as well as the more traditional Kismet plugin architecture of C++ plugins which can extend the server functionality at a low level. Kismet also supports external ‘helper tools' which can extend server functionality via scripting tools such as Python.
Kestrel
Kestrel adds live mapping to the Kismet UI using the Leaflet library, and overlays network and device locations on a live map with pin grouping for dense areas.
You can find Kestrel at https://gitlab.com/SoliForte777/Kestrel and see a video of it in action
