Re: Wi-Fi 7 warning: use nl80211
5 days ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
That message just means the app is currently using some older system APIs (called Wireless Extensions) to get Wi-Fi info. These are being phased out and won't be supported on newer Wi-Fi 7 hardware. We're already working on updating the app to use the modern replacement (nl80211), so this will be sorted out in upcoming versions. For now, the warning is harmless and everything should still work
Re: App monitoring is unavailable in installed version

The option to monitor application internet usage requires Windows 10 or later. On Windows 7, only network adapter monitoring is supported, which is why the application-level monitoring option is unavailable and greyed out.
Re: Units of time for downtime in the connection report
11 days ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Thank you for the feedback - that's a very good observation. To clarify: if the time format has two components (e.g. 00:19), it's shown as minutes and seconds (mm:ss). If it has three components (e.g. 01:37:00), it's hours, minutes and seconds (hh:mm:ss). You're absolutely right that this could be confusing, especially when both formats appear in the same report. We'll update the app to disp

Yes, you can run scripts directly from the editor by clicking the Run button for testing and debugging: Regarding variables, they are not currently accessible from within scripts. However, we will be adding this capability soon and will post an update once it's available. It's probably a good idea to add access to environment variables too. We're also looking into adding support for ad
Re: RegEx replacement is not working as expected
18 days ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
Network Scanner uses a slightly different syntax for backreferences. Like JavaScript, Python and Perl, it uses $1 $2 $3 instead of \1 \2 \3. Therefore, you simply need to replace this \1-\2-\3 on \4:\5 with this $1-$2-$3 on $4:$5 and it will work as expected. The Visible Columns dialog was made resizable in the latest builds - thanks for the feedback!
Re: Feature request: Option to group Applications by their name
19 days ago, by Andrew in NetWorx Forum
Thanks for the suggestion - that definitely makes sense. As you noticed, when apps like Microsoft Teams get updated, they often install to a different folder. Since NetWorx tracks apps based on their full path, each version ends up showing as a separate entry. Technically it's a different file, but from the user's point of view, it's still the same app. To help us look into how we could group t

Re: Problems with internet connection in other apps after updating to v7.3.1

Thanks everyone for providing more details. This issue is related to the new driver in NetWorx. We strive to deliver well-tested, high-quality software, but unfortunately this time a few bugs made their way into the latest release of the driver that NetWorx uses for filtering Internet traffic. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and will release a fix soon.
Re: Multiple scan modes for devices with different OS
5 weeks ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
Apologies for the confusion! What I meant was that this functionality - being able to run named scan items like WMI or SSH directly from VBScript - is something we're planning to add to the application. It's not available yet, which is why ssh.run("user" doesn't currently work and isn't listed in the help panel. The goal is to allow conditional execution of specific scan methods withou
Re: Multiple scan modes for devices with different OS
6 weeks ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
The core issue here is that there isn't a straightforward way to determine whether a specific device is running Windows or Linux. While it's theoretically possible to probe ports, such as 22 for SSH or 135 for RPC, to infer the operating system, this approach still involves making connections to each device individually. Not only can this be slow, but the detection remains probabilistic and could
Re: NGCore.exe keeps on running
6 weeks ago, by Andrew in NetGenius Forum
This behaviour is by design: the core service operates continuously in the background to collect statistics, while the GUI is an optional front-end that runs on demand and connects to the service for user interaction. If you wish to stop the service, we recommend doing so gracefully rather than terminating it via Task Manager. You can stop it through the Services control panel applet, or by run
Re: Display options for Shares permissions

Assuming you are asking how to save only the filtered items, you can do this by selecting Visible items in the Save dialog, as shown in the screenshot below. Please note that there is no command-line parameter for this functionality. Filters are purely interactive and cannot be applied through command-line operations.
Re: Display options for Shares permissions
6 weeks ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
It isn't possible to display the share status in a separate column. However, if you're looking for a specific type of shared folder, you can use the share filter instead. From the main menu, select View > Quick Host Filter > Shared Folders, then choose the types you wish to display, as illustrated below. To view folders with a lock icon, select Restricted. Otherwise, choose Common or W

Thank you for the dump files. I remember we've addressed a few issues related to Windows Explorer crashes following the release of version 7.3. Could you please try the latest build and let me know if it resolves the problem?
Re: Automation via command line
6 weeks ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
As far as I recall, with large disk images there's a possibility that the command may complete before the disk is fully accessible. If you're using a batch file, here's an example script you can use to wait until the drive becomes available. The idea is to execute this batch file at startup - it will wait for the specified drive letter to become accessible, and only then proceed to launch any depe

We regularly work with antivirus vendors to reduce false positives. Our installer and application are fully transparent. There is no encrypted code, and all files are digitally signed with an EV certificate, offering the highest level of publisher verification available. Unfortunately, some antivirus engines still flag it due to behavioural heuristics, as it includes functions like port scanni

It is actually possible to group both bookmarks and custom applications. Simply specify a vertical bar to create groups of items. For example, try naming your bookmarks as: Network A | Subnet 1 Network A | Subnet 2 or naming your applications as FTP clients | FileZilla FTP clients | Total Commander
Re: Count the megabytes written to RAM disk
2 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Here is the new build, which displays the current I/O speed and session totals. You can click the I/O speed numbers or the total numbers at the bottom of the RAM Disk app window to toggle between them. Note: You may need to reboot twice for the new feature to function correctly, due to the driver update procedure.
Re: Count the megabytes written to RAM disk
2 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
I believe I can address both questions here: 1. CrystalDiskInfo does not detect RAM disks because they are virtual devices. These disks lack physical attributes such as serial numbers and power-on counters, and they do not support S.M.A.R.T. monitoring. 2. If you redirected your Firefox profile using a symbolic link or an NTFS junction point, most monitoring tools (including Windows Task Man
Re: Count the megabytes written to RAM disk
2 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
At the moment, there is no feature that specifically tracks the amount of data written daily to a RAM disk. Could you perhaps elaborate on the practical use case for this? It might be better to implement a display of total I/O statistics across all configured RAM disks, perhaps in the About dialog, for curious users to see how much writing their SSD has been spared.
Re: Automatic Firefox start setting with RAMdisk on startup
2 months ago, by Andrew in RAM Disk Forum
Generally, if you configure the RAM disk to start At Startup rather than At Logon, it should work fine, as the RAM disk will be created in the early stages of the system boot-up process. However, timing issues are possible. So, for the best reliability, it is preferable to launch Firefox using the Automatically Starting Applications feature.
Re: pfSense with SNMP v3 - Interfaces not populating

Yes, SHA and SHA1 refer to the same algorithm. As confirmed by the connection test, if it returns details, then the credentials are valid. The SNMP walk data you provided also appears correct. We tested it with net-snmp and believe we've identified the cause. When using SNMPv2c and SNMPv3, we issue a bulk request to retrieve the interface table. For some reason, net-snmp is not handling the def

Re: "Unhandled exception" error on Linux
2 months ago, by Andrew in Network Scanner Forum
Thank you for sharing your findings. It's now clear where the crash occurs. However, the root cause appears to lie within third-party code. On Linux and macOS, our application uses an open-source library called libsmb2 to discover shared folders. This generally works well, but in rare instances, closing the connection (the Destroy method internally calls smb2_destroy_context from libsmb2) leads to

I have tested the app on Parrot Linux 6.3 and can confirm the issue with some windows missing the close button. It appears that certain themes do not draw any window decorations, including the button for popup windows. As a workaround, you can close the windows using Alt + F4, or launch mate-appearance-properties in a terminal, select the current theme, then click Customise, go to Window Bord
