Have you been port scanned lately? Completely ignoring network security is not smart and ignorance isn't exactly bliss. If you access the Internet via a cable modem, DSL, or even a dial-up connection, someone is always knocking on your virtual front door, giving your system the once-over. Protect your data, privacy and valuable computer system with Advanced Administrative Tools. AATools is an essential security diagnostic tool for everyone who wishes to protect his computer and the data it contains.
Whether you dial-up your ISP or have an 'always on' cable modem, the first item on your agenda needs to be finding a secure firewall to protect your computer. Some firewalls are better than others, but you should never trust clever advertising claiming that a cheap firewall will completely protect your data. Once you have decided on a firewall, be it a hardware or software solution, testing the security of that firewall is essential, and AATools is just a testing utility that verifies the integrity of your security and firewall functions.
AATools investigates and gathers information about your computer, network status, and service availability. That is a layman’s way of saying it performs an inspection on everything vital to network security as it pertains to the protection of your computer, including the utilization of tools to check open ports, proxies, email lists, Internet applications, and general system information.
Today there is no program, either anti virus nor antitrojan, that can detect unknown trojan horses. To secure your network, you may need to lock down applications that aren't required by any function you currently use. To do this effectively, you have to know what ports are available and what application is utilizing them. AATools Network Monitor displays active services on all ports. Further, AATools Network Monitor maps the ports in use to their respective applications (this feature is available under Windows NT/2000/XP) providing a simple and easy solution to tracking application to port maps. This mapping is extremely useful while monitoring unwanted connections, investigating suspected trojans, viruses, and possible backdoors intrusions.
AATools includes the utilities:
Port Scanner with an internal database of ports (officially assigned, unofficially used, or currently affected by network Trojan programs) that analyzes hosts and the different services that have been started on them. Its comprehensive scanning engine gathers all the information about the services, threads, etc. The AATools Port Scanner accurately determines the active ports/services using TCP/UDP port interrogation.
Proxy Analyzer tests lists of proxies and/or verifies a list of addresses on present proxy servers. It provides the most detailed information obtainable about the proxy itself, including, its headers, locations etc. It is a fully loaded tool for managing proxy lists (with anonymous proxy rating).
RBL Locator (RealTime BlackList Locator) is a special tool, designed to quickly search for an IP address in DNS-Based spam databases. RBL Locator checks an IP address against the most known blacklists. The AATools RBL Locator will help you to determine if you're listed as a "bad actor" within any of the shared blacklists.
Trace Route - shows you the path a packet sent from your machine to some other machine on the network takes as it hops from router to router. It will show you the IP address and the actual name of each router, line-by-line.
Email Verifier - is your unique solution for the "message delivery error". You don't need to disturb your clients and friends anymore to verify whether their e-mail addresses are still valid or not. Email Verifier connects directly to their SMTP server and checks it for you. Nothing is sent to the recipient.
Links Analyzer - a new state-of-the-art utility that scans all your URLs and IE Favorites and notifies you when a link has been changed or has become invalid. It also doubles as a navigation tool and makes it very easy to find what you are looking for eliminating the need to search inside folders.
Network Monitor - shows you an extremely large amount of supplementary information about your outbound and inbound network connections, additionally, AATools Network Monitor maps open ports to the owning application (for Windows NT/2000/XP only). Network Monitor is useful in diagnosing networks and monitoring your computer's network connections.

HostMonitor is a system management tool that continuously monitors servers' availability and performance. In the event of network errors, HostMonitor will alert the network administrator (or even correct the problem when possible) before problems get seriously out of hand. This helps protect your company's data and reduces the likelihood of costly network failures.
* "Home Folder" option Advanced Host Monitor package includes Web Service (since version 4) and Remote Control Console (since version 5) that allows the HostMonitor to be managed remotely. HostMonitor supports different permissions for each user. For example, one operator can edit test items while another may change reports profiles and color templates. Any operator that has necessary rights for remote administration has access to ALL test items. HostMonitor version 6 provides a "home folder" option that can be specified for each operator. If you do so, each operator will see test items within their own specified folder (and its subfolders) only. In this way, you may easily separate work/permissions between departments of a company. This option is located in the User Profiles dialog window. Note: An operator that works with HostMonitor’s GUI on a local system will have access to the entire test list as in previous versions.
* Backup RMA and Load balancing Remote Monitoring Agent (RMA) allows monitoring remote networks protected by firewall. Single RMA installed on some server in that network allows you to monitor entire network. In the event of RMA server dying, HostMonitor will alert you but it will not be able to continue monitoring of that network until the problem is fixed. HostMonitor version 6 allows you to setup primary and backup agents. Using this feature, HostMonitor is able to balance load between agents and use the backup agent when primary one does not respond. When you have installed second agent you may choose one of two different "Load balancing" options: o Backup only In this case, HostMonitor will request the main agent to perform the tests and will switch to backup agent only in the case of the primary agent not responding. o 50/50 With this option selected, HostMonitor will balance requests for service between the agents. Even if you specify a single primary agent for all your tests, some tests will be performed by primary agent and other by backup RMA. If the primary or the backup agent does not respond, tests will be performed by another (paired) RMA. Note 1: "primary agent" - the agent that is specified for the test execution. As you may specify different agents for different test items, the same agent can be a "primary" and "backup", depending on the situation. For example, you may use AgentA to perform set of WMI tests and use AgentB to perform SNMP tests. In case of an emergency AgentB may execute WMI tests as well (AgentB is backup agent for AgentA). AgentA may perform SNMP tests in the case of AgentB failing (AgentA is backup agent for AgentB). Note 2: New options on Misc page allow the behaviour of the tests when primary agent does not respond to be specified. "If backup agent is specified and connection to primary RMA failed" parameter allows you to choose one of the two options: o Set "Unknown" status, log the error, then repeat test using backup agent o Request backup agent without reporting error
* Pause/Resume tests HostMonitor allows monitoring and/or alerts to be paused for a specified amount of time (entire monitoring) and it allows specific test items to be disabled/enabled. This allows IT staff to stop testing for servers that are under maintenance but if there are many servers, operators may forget to re-enable the test items when work is completed. Version 6.00 provides a new option - Pause/Resume specific test items. This allows administrators to pause monitoring for several servers for a specific amount of time, e.g. next 20 min or till June 21 at 17:30hrs at which time HostMonitor will resume monitoring automatically. The Pause/Resume options are available through the main menu "Test" and from the context popup menu.
