Advanced Host Monitor (AKA: KS-HostMonitor) is a highly extensible network monitoring toolset that enjoys a high reputation in the field of network management. It was developed by KS-Soft from Germany for small and enterprise-class networks or hosts.

As a network or website administrator, most often we need know everything quite well about the LAN or even WAN our hosts lying in. For example: the name of each computer in local network, network card address, IP address, shared resource, open ports; look up WHOIS information such as domain name, host provider, DNS... about some website in detail. For these, IP-Tools can become a good assistant for our network/Internet management.
