Angry IP Scanner Portable 2.21 Dev Test 4

Submitted by Travis Carrico on March 4, 2008 - 2:39am

Angry IP Scanner is an open-source network scanner designed to be fast and simple to use. It scans IP addresses and ports as well as has many other features.

The program already comes as an exe but it stores settings in the registry. this portable version backs up your settings. there's another thing that this portable version does that's cool. angry ip scanner is detected as a virus by many virus scanners. this portable version detects if the exe is there, and if it has been removed it automatically extracts a .7z file (which is not detected as a virus) with the original angry ip scanner exe into the correct folder.

Changes
Dev Test 2: Replaced ugly old icon with their new beta icon.
Dev Test 3: Small changes to make app fully paf compliant
Dev Test 4: Added a message that appears the first time you run Angry IP Scanner Portable letting the user know that ipscan.exe is not a virus

Works fine

Angry IpScanner Portable works fine, no problems detected. Folderstructure, Readme-Files and so on seem to be ok, too - good job done. :)
A nice tool, that was missing in my tools collection to help friends to discover problems in their home-network. I have heard of it before as a Linux tool, but i didn't know, that it is availible for Windows, too. And even not, that it could be made portable *lol* ;)
Nice Work,...

Same

Great work.

Somebody give me a portable video editor... Please!
If ya wanna see my email, go to digitxpsemail.tk (at least for now!)
My dad saved over $850 a month, by switching to Geico! :P

Certainly nice!

Works like a charm! Great pick though, a nice thing to carry with you. :)

icon

question. should i use the ugly icon that comes with the exe or can i use the icon from the version 3 beta which is also on their website here?

use the one from beta 3,

use the one from beta 3, it's much clearer. Do you know to convert that to an icon with all the proper sizes? If not, I can do it and post back shortly.

new icon

yeah i did it. dev test 2 is posted now. And for icons, Icofx is awesome and even portable; it should be a recommended dev tool or something

Yea

I usually recommend IcoFX. I use GIMP most of the time myself, however, but IcoFX is great.

Feedback

Here's the extremely picky PAFish stuff to change:

  1. In the AppInfo.ini, the PackageVersion is probably something more like 2.21.0.0, I can't seem to find the exact build.
  2. In the AppInfo.ini, the Start should be the AppNamePortable.exe, unless there's a specific reason you have just the program exe.
  3. In the help.html file, one of the homepage links links to ConvertAllPortable. As well, remove the space between the bullets for General Angry IP Scanner Issues.
  4. In the Other\Source\Readme.txt, add your copyright. Also, in that file, only the first directory setup is supported now, not like the other three.
  5. The legal copyright in the source should be 'PortableApps.com and contributers'.
  6. The splash should no longer have a fade in, change the 200 on like 194 to 0

That's all I caught in terms on PAFish stuff, awesome work and good app choice. The 7-Zip idea was fantastic, too.

dev test 3

fixed

Great

Just one small note to change before you forget. I missed this before.

In the Readme.txt

-\ <--- Directory with Angry IP ScannerPortable.exe

Should of course not have spaces in the exe name. Not worth an update right now of course. :P Just add it before you forget.

fixed also

do i need to let this sit on the forums for a while or should i go ahead and submit it as "ready for official release"?

Give me a Second

I'm gonna double check it's clean it terms of registry and such.

Litte Late, But

Everything looked clean on my system. Someone should do a fresh RegShot on their PC before trying to be sure.

I will

McAffee detected it as a virus

Just tried installing onto my usb stick using my works PC... but mcafee detected ipscan.exe as a virus.

That's by the nature of the

That's by the nature of the app. It has similar features to many network hacking tools, this application, however, does not contain a virus and is not intended to be used as a hacking tool.

See here for a description.

yeah many detect it as a

yeah many detect it as a virus which is why i set it up the way i did, the only other option is since angry ip scanner v3 is still in beta and it's not tagged as a virus yet; i could use that one. i just wanted to use the stable version

dev test 4

dev test 4 releases. now anyone who downloads it will see a message explaining about the virus detection thing so they won't think "wtf?" if or when it happens.

registry

i just looked back at a log file i made before that caught this program using the key HKU\S-1-5-21-2651071009-3632667047-424129808-1005\Software\Angryziber but every time it runs now it uses HKCU\software\Angryziber.

to be sure this program only stores setting in HKCU\software\Angryziber can somebody who has not run this program before run it while monitoring the registry?

Those two locations are

Those two locations are identical. that long nasty string of characters is the ID of the Current User so HKU\[nastiness]\ == HKCU\

The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705

yes

but the difference is that the nasty version only works on one PC and HKCU works everywhere.

@T

Very true. So T, you would be best leaving it as HKCU as HKU\[nastiness]\ is unique as Simeon said.

The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705

Yes

I just checked the launcher and everything seems OK there.

Nothing left behind here. Nice Program. I never used it before so I don't really know what I am doing but it works and I will keep playing with it :)

So here you go.
