Shark Network Tools2.20 Beta

Shark Network Tools is an application suite that bundles plenty of useful network tools, including Ping, TraceRoute and Whois, together with a proxy finder and port scanner. It mainly caters to advanced users, such as network administrators.The program is wrapped in a plain interface with a well-structured layout, where each tool is accessible through its own panel.In order to use the Ping function, you are required to input a host name or IP address, along with the number of loops. Results reveal the total bytes, time and TTL for each source.When it comes to the port scanner, you can just write a URL and ports and/or port range, in order to get the current status, port number and name, and description. Online and offline ports are delimited by color, so you can spot them with ease.In addition, you can select the charset (e.g. CR-LF, CR) and send data via TCP, once you have entered an address and port to connect to.The Whois tool supports a long list of servers, and you can use either the built-in function or check the Whois status via the online platform. Furthermore, Shark Network Tools displays all currently running processes in a list, and you can terminate any one of them.Other options of the application let you check active ports, find IP address information in the DNS via NSLookup, get information about your adapters, select a linked device to sniff for IPs, trace routes, as well as get a list of proxies.Shark Network Tools uses a low-to-moderate quantity of CPU and system memory, has a good response time, and works well, without causing Windows to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs; we have not encountered any issues in our tests. To sum it up, Shark Network Tools provides users with some simple and intuitive tools for managing the network.
