Dipiscan

What Dipiscan is

Dipiscan is a Windows utility that scans IP ranges and retrieves information about machines on a network. A machine can be looked up by IP address, NetBIOS name, or DNS. The program can show the route taken to reach another machine and monitor a machine for changes since the previous scan. Users can also add custom commands to the right-click menu. Dipiscan is available as an installer or a portable version, which can run without installation. It is freeware, listed as free, and the supported Windows versions are 7, 8, 10, and 11. The maker notes that some antivirus tools may flag its .NET programs because they are obfuscated to prevent decompilation. Dipisoft is described by its maker as a one-person operation run by Damien Ponnelle.
