Scan Detect Respond

Instant Network Discovery

Scan Detect Respond leverages the advanced capabilities of SoftPerfect Network Scanner to provide rapid and comprehensive network discovery. It instantly detects all devices connected to your local area network, including desktops, servers, virtual machines, and IoT hardware. This enables IT professionals to get a full overview of their infrastructure in real time, helping to prevent configuration errors and unauthorized access.

Multi-Protocol Compatibility

With full compatibility across IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, Scan Detect Respond ensures your network scans are future-proof. Whether your infrastructure is based on traditional IP addressing or next-generation IPv6, the platform adapts to your environment effortlessly. This makes it ideal for hybrid networks or enterprises undergoing digital transformation.

The scanner automatically adjusts to mixed protocol environments, eliminating the need for separate tools or manual switching. IT administrators can maintain visibility across all subnets and routing configurations, reducing the risk of unmanaged devices or overlooked assets.

Shared Folder Detection

Scan Detect Respond uncovers all shared folders on the network, including those that are hidden or configured for write access. This feature is particularly valuable for audits, as it helps identify potential data exposure points. Network shares can be filtered, exported, and reviewed for proper access control policies.

Discover open, writable, and hidden shared resources

By listing both user-visible and system-level shared folders, administrators can ensure that all file shares comply with organizational security standards. Writable shares are highlighted, making it easier to spot misconfigured systems or improperly secured file paths.

System Information Collection

Through integrations with WMI, SNMP, SSH, and PowerShell, Scan Detect Respond gathers detailed information about each detected device. You can retrieve data such as operating system versions, system uptime, hardware specs, and even software configurations. This eliminates the need for physical access or separate inventory tools.

Advanced Port Scanning

Port scanning within Scan Detect Respond provides critical insights into open TCP ports, selected UDP services, and SNMP-enabled endpoints. These results help identify running services and potential security concerns such as unsecured databases or remote desktop ports.

The scanner's configurable nature allows for focused assessments based on service type or port range. This functionality supports risk management initiatives and contributes to securing the network perimeter.

Remote Command Execution

Scan Detect Respond allows authorized administrators to execute remote commands on scanned devices using protocols such as SSH, PowerShell, and VBScript. This functionality significantly reduces the time needed for routine maintenance and troubleshooting by centralizing remote management tasks.

Wake-On-LAN and Remote Shutdown

With integrated support for Wake-On-LAN, Scan Detect Respond makes it easy to power on machines remotely, even after hours or during maintenance periods. The platform also supports remote shutdown and restart operations, enabling complete control over device power management.

Control device power states from your dashboard

These tools are ideal for IT departments managing distributed offices or large server environments. Centralized power management helps reduce energy costs and ensures systems are ready when needed without requiring local intervention.

MAC Address Resolution

The scanner retrieves MAC addresses for all detected devices, even across routers in most network configurations. This data is essential for identifying device manufacturers and verifying physical hardware.

Identify hardware with precision

With this functionality, administrators can cross-reference devices against inventory lists and ensure that all connected assets are recognized and authorized. It adds an extra layer of visibility that’s crucial for managing complex or dynamic environments.

Integrated Nmap Support

Leverage powerful external scanning tools

Scan Detect Respond includes built-in support for integration with Nmap, the industry-standard network mapper. This allows users to run advanced scanning routines, OS fingerprinting, and more detailed port analysis from within a unified interface.

By combining the speed of SoftPerfect Network Scanner with the depth of Nmap, administrators get a comprehensive overview of both surface-level and in-depth device data. It’s a flexible solution for security-conscious professionals seeking greater insights.
