During an internal asset-discovery sweep, a cybersecurity analyst deploys Angry IP Scanner against a /24 network to catalog active hosts and determine which common service ports are listening. Within the vulnerability-scanning workflow, which core capability of Angry IP Scanner is the analyst leveraging?
Rapid network scanning and host discovery, including port enumeration.
Centralized log aggregation and correlation for real-time threat monitoring.
In-depth packet capture and protocol decoding for network troubleshooting.
Automated exploitation of web applications to identify OWASP Top 10 issues.
Angry IP Scanner excels at rapidly pinging each address in a specified range to identify live hosts and then performing basic port enumeration to reveal which services may be exposed. It does not capture or decode packets like a protocol analyzer, attempt web-application exploits, or aggregate and correlate security logs in real time.
