XSpider

XSpider - one of the best vulnerability scanners for Windows devices. Today we are talking about quite professional software with good functional characteristics. Don't be in a hurry to close this page!

The main goal and purpose of this program is to scan your PC and the whole network for vulnerabilities at all levels (from system to application level). If you are relying only on the anti-virus protection, that is your main mistake, it is often not enough (the databases are not regularly updated, but with this utility, on the contrary, they are constantly updated). It works in automatic mode so it will suit absolutely all users of any level of "advanced".

Scanner XSpider

The program is professional, but at the same time thoughtful and simple in operation and easily adjustable for your needs. For example, it has a great integrated scheduler for tasks, updates and sending reports (to e-mail). Speaking of the latter, this option displays the data on the error found plus a link to the articles from the Microsoft web site with descriptions and troubleshooting suggestions. Cool, isn't it? And for newbies it is even super useful!

Let's make this chapter short:

• Processing RPC services + full identification of random ports;
• Checking passwords + optimized selection;
• Detailing scan of web sites content for SQLi, XSS, and script vulnerabilities;
• Checking Windows nodes;
• Testing non-standard DoS-attacks, etc.

The software installation is standard, accept the license terms and conditions and go through the installation process by selecting a folder to save the installation file. You don't need to reboot your PC, you can start testing immediately.


The scanner user interface is laconic and intuitive, with the Russian language available. There are 8 menu items available in the main window (File, Edit, View, Scan, Service etc.) and the window itself is divided into 2 parts.

In this intellectual service we have noted high efficiency of scanning with the minimum of false positives. If you need to monitor your network environment and protect it, we recommend you download XSpider on our portal - it's absolutely free. The latest version is available in Russian.

Be sure to recommend this application to your friends, who are engaged in network administration (if they don't know about this program, they will be very glad to get your advice).
