NetScanTools (TM) Pro 10.92 USB Version Patch Ready

The USB upgrade patch is ready for those of you who have NetScanTools Pro USB version. If you have Wireshark Portable version installed on that same USB stick, you can now use the left panel Optional Tools menu to start Wireshark from within NetScanTools Pro. This has always worked for the installed version and now the USB version can do the same thing. When you first launch it, we provide a File Open navigation window where we ask you to locate and select the wiresharkportable.exe file. We then save that relative location for the next time you start Wireshark.

Everything else, including TCP Ping, is also included in the upgrade.

If you have NetScanTools Pro USB, click on Help/Check for New Version and login to get the patch. You must have an active maintenance plan to login.

NetScanTools (TM) Pro 10.92 Published

This release added a powerful new feature to Ping - Enhanced: TCP Ping. TCP Ping uses either a SYN or ACK packet to 'ping' a target and it looks for a response back. If it gets a response, it shows the timing with submillisecond resolution. In this case the timing you are seeing is TCP Latency because you are seeing a TCP response to a TCP packet. Our TCP Ping gives you control over the TCP header. You can set the Distributed Services Code Point bits and the ECN bits to see what effect they have on packet delivery between two points. You can also set the Sequence, Window and Acknowledgement fields in the TCP header to whatever you want. AutoPing was renamed Continuous Ping and we also added Autosave mode so that all the ping results can be saved to a file. This file has tabbed delimited columns so that you can easily import the results into a spreadsheet. This is one of the most complete Ping tools on the market giving you instant access to all three modes of operation: ICMP, UDP and TCP Ping.

Other changes include the addition of the Distributed Services bits to Packet Generator, additional information added to whois IP address queries, improvements to Traceroute and TTCP. Graphical Ping can now send packets as large as 4095 bytes.

10.92 is available now and is ready for download by current registered users. USB version 10.92 will be available in the next day or two.
