About  AATools 5.56
====================
AATools is a multithreaded network diagnostic tool. 
Its purpose is to accumulate data pertaining to 
network status and availability, using all of the 
latest development tools in network research.

It is a 12-in-1 utility, including Port Scanner, Proxy 
Analyzer, TraceRoute, Email Verifier, Links 
Analyzer, Network Status, Process Info, Whois, 
System Info, Resource Viewer and Registry Cleaner.

- Port Scanner - analyses hosts and different services 
started on them. Its comprehensive scanning engine 
gathers all the information about the services, 
threads etc. Port Scanner accurately determines the 
mapping of the active services on the appropriate host 
using TCP/IP port interrogation. This information 
is rather critical for developing and/or verifying of 
the security policies;

- Proxy Analyzer - a special instrument, designed to 
manage a database of proxy ervers located all over the 
world. This program is essential for those who are 
concerned with their privacy and who want to surf the 
web anonymously;

- RBL (RealTime Black List) Locator is a special tool,
designed to quickly search for an IP address in DNS-Based
(RBL*) spam databases. RBL Locator checks a given IP 
address against the most known blacklists. 

- TraceRoute - 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, usually) of each 
router, line-by-line.

- Email Verifier - the unique solution for the 
"message delivery error". You don't need to disturb 
your clients and friends anymore to check if their 
e-mail addresses are still valid. E-mail 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 
will scan all your URLs and IE Favorites and notify 
you when every Link is being changed, or becomes 
invalid. It also doubles as a navigation tool and 
makes it very easy to find what you are looking for 
without the need to search inside folders;

- Whois - a useful network information utility that 
allows to find out all the available information about 
IP addresses, host names, location, NSP name, 
administrator and technical support contact 
information of any place in the Web;

- Network Monitor - is an intrusion detection/audit tool 
which reports all open local TCP/IP and UDP ports, 
display the services that are active on the ports, and 
maps the ports to their respective applications (for 
Windows NT/2000/XP only), provides useful information 
about network interfaces. 

- Process Monitor – provides information about programs 
and processes running on your computer. You can 
quickly see the status of the programs that are 
running and end programs that have stopped responding. 
Very useful to get rid of Trojans etc.;

- System Information - collects and displays your 
system configuration information. Support technicians 
require specific information about your computer when 
they are troubleshooting your configuration. You can 
use System Information to quickly find the data they 
need to resolve your system problem;

- Resource Viewer is intended for viewing of resources 
of executable files (with the extension .exe and .dll). 
It is displays comprehensive information about program 
resources including dialogs, icons, strings and more. 
Resource Viewer can also be used to save resources of 
any selected modules on your hard disk.

  host, or from all hosts in range IP addresses as

checking the address before it sends, which eliminates 
the dreaded "Mail undeliverable" messages you can get.

facility. All you have to do is open the Zip 
attachment window, select the files you want to attach 
and as soon as you press "Send" EasyMail auto zips the 
attachments into one zip file so saving send and 
receive time. Drag and Drop facilities include 
attachments, text files direct to the message body and

Groups of addresses in the internal Address Book and
