Re: Magellan SQLite vulnerability
5 years ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
The latest build of NetWorx v6.2.3 comes with SQLite 3.26.0, which is not vulnerable, according to Tencent Team that discovered the issue. Previous versions of NetWorx, including 5.x.x, are likely to contain a vulnerable version of SQLite, but it is not exploitable because NetWorx does not allow user SQL to be executed in any way, especially remotely.
Re: Displaying different types of devices in different windows/views
5 years ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
While there isn't a view concept, Network Scanner has a set of filters you could use. For example, you could tag (assign friendly names to) your devices, e.g. DESKTOP, SERVER, CAMERA and so on. Then you would be able to quickly filter what's displayed via menu View - Setup Filter. In addition, you will be able to mark some filters as your favourites and quickly apply them from View - Quick Hos
Re: Installing other programs on RAM disk
5 years ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
Generally, it possible to install other software on a RAM disk. However, it is highly inadvisable to do that, as RAM disk contents are volatile in nature and disappear on every reboot or shut down, which would delete the installed software. RAM disks are normally used for temporary data that doesn't need to be kept beyond switching the computer off. If you haven't already done so, you may l
How to get Hardware Vendor information
5 years ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
To display hardware vendors, you need to enable Lookup network card vendor in the Options - Additional tab. Then run a regular network scan once, to force the application to download the MAC-to-vendor database. After that, hardware vendors should be displayed.
Re: Duplicate IP addresses and 0.0.0.0 subnet mask
5 years ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
We have seen a similar behaviour with Win10Pcap. It looks like for some adapters (or in some circumstances) the WinPCap library doesn't return the network mask. Instead it returns an empty string, which is the 0.0.0.0 that you see. The Network Scanner has an in-build workaround: if it is unable to get the netmask, it uses the default value of 255.255.255.0. That's why it works, though the displ
Show host names for IP addresses - New feature added

We have added host name information to the source or destination column (whichever is used in tracking). It may take a couple of minutes from the moment the service starts to resolve the names. You can download the new version from Bandwidth Manager product page.
Re: Show host names for IP addresses
5 years ago, by Ann in Bandwidth Manager Forum
The current version of Bandwidth Manager does not display host names next to IP addresses. The main reasons for that were: Not all devices have a host name, and thus retrieving it would require a separate task to reverse-resolve each IP address. IP addresses are dynamic in their nature: a device with IP address X.X.X.X may map to one host name today, and a different device tomorrow. The correct
Re: Scanning does not show any devices - Solved
5 years ago, by Ann in WiFi Guard Forum
From your screen shots, it looks like you are connected by cable rather than WiFi, whereas your WiFi Guard is configured to use a WiFi card. This is basically the situation described in the article as: QuoteAn incorrect network adapter was chosen in WiFi Guard settings. Make sure it is an active adapter connected to WiFi or cable. To fix the issue, simply choose a different network card in Wi
Re: Scanning does not show any devices
5 years ago, by Ann in WiFi Guard Forum
There can be a few reasons for that. Please have a look at this "WiFi Guard doesn't see some or any devices on my network" article, which lists the causes and solutions. If this does not help to resolve the issue, please attach some screen shots illustrating the problem: from the "All devices ever seen on-line" window and the main window after a scan.
Re: Lags when speeds are higher than 700 Mb/s
5 years ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
It looks like you have the "Ignore local traffic within in the LAN" option turned on. When this option is enabled, NetWorx has to analyse every chunk of data to decide whether it is local and should be ignored, or should be recorded. This may be a problem at very high speeds like 1 Gbps since it requires analysing a large number of packets. It is not a bug per se, but rather a product
Re: Usage web-access: nothing is shown
5 years ago, by Ann in Bandwidth Manager Forum
Did you pass the correct rule name as a user name (and password, if required) when opening the web-report page? Also, if that rule uses tracking per IP address or MAC address, the usage will only be shown when requested by the corresponding address. For example, if it is a tracking rule and has two streams — 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2, then: if 1.1.1.1 opens this page and supplies the rule name, t
Re: RAM disk is listed but not mounted after reboot
5 years ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
This could be caused by some temporary startup condition (ether the OS configuration or other software) that prevents the RAM disk from being mounted on boot. As a simple workaround, try to create and use a logon-time RAM disk, which is mounted later, when a user logs on rather than on system startup. To create a new RAM disk, choose Disk - Add (not Add Boot Disk) and configure it similarly.
Re: Saving NetScan results to CSV using command line
5 years ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
It may be just that you needed to wait a bit longer (a few minutes to finish scanning of certain devices). Another way of dealing with this issue could be setting the max thread run-time to 30 or 60 seconds in the config file: <maxruntime>60</maxruntime> This will make the app attempt to gracefully finish scanning any devices that are slow to respond; and if that fails, forcibly

Re: How to add license key via command line

Yes, there is a way to install the licence automatically as a part of the configuration: Download this zip archive with a config template. Extract the CONFIG.XML file, open it in any text editor like Notepad, and insert your licence key where indicated. Place ramdisk_setup.exe and CONFIG.XML in the same folder, and launch it with this command ramdisk_setup.exe /SILENT /CONFIG=CONFIG.XML
Re: Cannot map network drives (no plus sign next to the drives)
5 years ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
There can be a few reasons why there is no [+] shown next to the devices: Shared folder discovery is not enabled. Open the Shares tab in Options and check Scan for shared resources. The devices may not have any folders shared, or your user account doesn't have sufficient rights to access them. You can check that by typing the folloving line in a command prompt, replacing x.x.x.x with the target
Re: Licensed NetScan app has restricted output like a trial
5 years ago, by Ann in Network Scanner Forum
I am glad you have solved it. You are right: the licence key, as well as the configuration file, are stored under the profile of the user who runs the application. Another way of using the licence across several user logins is the portable version of the Network Scanner. In that case both the licence and the config files are kept in the same folder as the application, regardless of who runs it.

Re: Detect and list all manageable switches in the network
5 years ago, by Ann in Switch Port Mapper Forum
Yes, the Switch Port Mapper can discover your switches and show them in a list, as long as VPN allows network access to those switches via the standard SNMP protocol. Of course you would need to specify the read community to discover the switches. It acts like a password and is usually set to "public". To try these features, download and run the trial version from the Switch Port Mapp
Re: Can I turn SSD into RAM disk
5 years ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
The Page File limitations are determined by the OS, in this case Windows. Tweaking it, even when possible, usually not a good idea: it may lead to severe instability of the system, unless the user really, really knows what they are doing. Whereas turning the entire SSD into RAM, as you are suggesting, would be totally pointless. Here are a few good reasons why: Enormous difference in speed.
Re: Can I turn SSD into RAM disk
5 years ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
You appear to be confused by two different concepts: hard disks (SSD in your case) and RAM disks. 1. Any computer disk (SSD, HDD, etc) can be used for Windows temp files, browser cache, or any other data. You can install any applications on your SSD, including MS Office and Adobe. This is how most computers work. You do not need the RAM Disk for that. 2. RAM Disk has nothing to do with SDD o

Re: Failing to load images after Windows 10 1809 update
5 years ago, by Ann in RAM Disk Forum
Gavin, you should still be able to mount images as regular disks via Image - Mount Image in the main menu and access your data. If mounting directly to a drive letter fails, it means the image file is corrupted, and the error is not related to the Windows 1809 update in your case. You may have to create a new image if the current one is broken. If mounting to a drive letter succeeds, the image
Re: Invalid letter string when creating RAM disk via command line

The command line format for console version ramdiskc.exe is different to that of the GUI module. Simply launch ramdiskc.exe without parameters to see its syntax.

Re: How to get data usage reports for each Ethernet and Wi-Fi router connection separately
5 years ago, by Ann in NetWorx Forum
Sorry we don't have a program for this, and I don't think it is technically possible. To be able to monitor usage per port on a router, there must be some software on the router itself that records what was received and sent on each port. On top of this, it needs to be able to distinguish the Internet data usage and the traffic when local devices just talk to each other without using any Intern

Re: Delay in blocking the device when it reached its quota
5 years ago, by Ann in Bandwidth Manager Forum
Yes, there is a short delay. All usage is summed at 30-second intervals and then quotas are enforced. Therefore, occasionally users can exceed their quota by as much as they manage to download in the maximum time frame of 30 seconds. Usually it is not a problem as typical usage is scattered throughout the day rather than being one continuous download. If however you have such a case and/or hav
