• GiPo@DirMonitor : File system changes monitoring utility for Windows NT/2000/XP. It allows to select the folder and to customize the monitoring settings for the specified folder (the event list to process and some other options). The program can also monitor changes in subfolders if necessary. This program can work in background and generates the HTML log of file system changes.
• GiPo@Mount : It allows to attach a local or remote drive to an empty folder on an NTFS volume (only for Windows 2000/XP) and to substitute a local folder for a drive letter.

The program allows selecting the file or folder to check. The program can also check subfolders of the specified folder(s)

TSL provides a secure password mechanism for W2K/NT/XP - and runs "transparently" - so you can still monitor the programs that are running. This is ideal for:

• System Administrators: control access to printer servers, while allowing users to view print jobs. Or, monitor server statistics while preventing unauthorized access.
• Retail Stores: control access to workstations on display while running demos.
• Kiosks: prevent system access while continuing to display information.
• Tradeshow Demos: prevent system access while continuing to display demos.
• Email or instant message users: monitor incoming messages, while restricting access to your computer.

  • NBScan: a powerful and fast NetBIOS scanner. NBScan can scan a network within a given range of IP addresses and list computers offering NetBIOS resource-sharing service, as well as their name tables and MAC addresses. Unlike the standard nbtstat utility supplied with Windows, this tool provides a graphical user interface and easy management of the lmhosts file and features parallel scanning, which allows checking a class C network in less than one minute. NBScan can facilitate routine tasks often carried out by system integrators, administrators, and analysts.
  • PortScan: an advanced TCP port scanner that allows you to scan your network for active ports. This tool features both conventional (full connect) and stealth (half-open) scanning modes.
  • Shares: monitors and logs external connections to your computer's shared resources, as well as provides a quick and easy way to connect to remote resources that gives Windows 98/Me users NT user-level connectivity features. Unlike Windows NT, Windows 98/Me has no user-level connectivity after the boot: you can specify a password, but not a username. This tool allows you to set both a username and a password.
  • LMHosts: a convenient editor of the lmhosts file integrated with NBScan.
  • NetAudit (NetBIOS Auditing Tool): allows you to perform various security checks on your network and/or individual computers offering the NetBIOS file sharing service. This tool can help you identify potential security flaws.
