Hello friends! Today, we will see another app, IP Tools, somewhat similar to Hackode, but pretty simple to use though. Lets start!
Download IP Tools from here, install it.
Open the app. Grant the root permissions.
Now, it will automatically display the IP information for you.
It will give you the Host address, internal IP, MAC address and other details.
At the top left corner, you can see small three horizontal lines.
In this menu, you will see a bunch of options for scanning.
There are several tools like ping, traceroute, port scanner, network connections, DNS lookup here.
Here is the ping scan result for "google.com".
The ping tool is used to test connectivity between two hosts.
I also have the traceroute report below.
The traceroute tool is used to check the route (path) between two hosts.
Port scanner tool scans for the open ports on the target. I've the port scan report below.
Now, the "Network connections" part is really a very good feature for the security analysts and pentesters. It gives you the entire packets communication log consisting of different requests made by the source & destination nodes.
A DNS lookup is the process of querying a domain name server to resolve the IP address of a given hostname.
DNS lookup report will look like this.
As we see, many tools work almost flawlessly. Also, it is very simple to use. So guys, try out this app & share your views. I would be happy know that too. Thanks for reading this tutorial.
Also do try other similar apps like Nipper, Nmap & Hackode for information gathering!
