Welcome to the Atelier Web Security Port Scanner (AWSPS) 3.0 release!

Atelier Web Security Port Scanner (AWSPS) is an innovative network
diagnostic tool that adds a new dimension of capabilities to the
arsenal of network administrators, information security professionals
and all people concerned with safety on PCs.

AWSPS features a top-notch Tcp port scanner and is the only available
network tool for the Windows platform able to scan (fast and reliably)
Udp ports, these arguably more subject to exploits. AWSPS includes an
internal database currently reporting on 3346 ports (officially
assigned, unofficially used, or currently affected by network Trojan
Horses), which translates to more than 5000 references.

On the running PC, AWSPS provides instant information about connections
and listening ports; Tcp, Udp and Icmp statistics; complete routing
information; IP statistics and settings; addressing information; net to
media table and interfaces.

AWSPS is, once again, the only known tool able to discover which
programs are using ports on the PC. Even Trojan Horses that use stealth
techniques and change ports frequently are easily exposed.

These are the main features and capabilities of Atelier Web Security
Port Scanner: 
* High-speed Tcp scanning engine, with adjustable maximum number of
simultaneously opened ports.
* Full remote host information:
. Official name - If using the DNS or similar resolution system, it is

. Aliases - Supported alternate names.
. List of IP addresses.
. HTTP server brand and model.
* Local host name and IP address.
* Full report on Tcp connections and incoming data, including remote
and local port numbers, local socket number, and description of
standard services for given remote port.
* Full report on network errors during Tcp scanning, including remote
port number and standard service keyword, error number and description.
* Fast reliable Udp scanner with intelligent test probing of ports to
confirm whether the host is up.
* Round trip time report for Udp scanning.
* Local connections and listening ports instant report.
* Local Tcp, Udp and ICMP statistics instant report.
