Komodo Labs Network Discovery (Slitheris): Get More Detailed Network Scans
Get Better Network Scan Overviews—No Credentials Required
Most free IP scanners only show basic information, like IP addresses, MAC addresses, and manufacturer names, leaving IT professionals and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) without the details they need to properly assess a network. While enterprise-grade network discovery tools exist, they often require expensive licenses, agent installation, or administrative credentials to access deeper insights.
Komodo Labs Network Discovery (Slitheris) bridges the gap by providing fast, agentless scanning with much deeper insights than free alternatives, without the need for credentials or software installation on remote devices.
Whether you’re an MSP performing a client network audit, an IT administrator troubleshooting network performance, or a business owner checking what’s connected to your network, this tool offers more accurate network data while remaining easy to use.
Why Komodo Labs Network Discovery is Better Than Free IP Scanners
Most free network scanners provide only a limited snapshot of a network, requiring manual research or command-line tools to gather additional details. Komodo Labs Network Discovery provides a more complete overview by detecting:
✅ Device Types & Roles – Identifies PCs, servers, network appliances, IoT devices, and other hardware.
✅ Operating System Detection – Estimates Windows versions without requiring admin credentials.
✅ System Uptime Estimates – Helps IT teams identify recently rebooted or long-running machines.
✅ Stealthy, Passive & Active Scanning – Finds hidden devices that standard ping-based scanners might miss.
✅ Credential-Free Scanning – No need for admin logins, WMI, or SNMP credentials.
✅ Better Network Insights for MSPs – Enables faster, non-intrusive client assessments.
✅ More Efficient Than Free Alternatives – Quickly scans thousands of IPs without requiring complex setups or scripting.
For MSPs, IT professionals, and cybersecurity teams, having a network discovery tool that provides deep insights without credentials is invaluable. Instead of relying on basic IP scanners that only show IP addresses and MAC addresses, Komodo Labs Network Discovery helps build a clearer, more actionable network map.
How IT Professionals & MSPs Benefit from Komodo Labs Network Discovery
1. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) – Faster Client Network Audits
For MSPs, understanding a client’s network before offering support is critical. Komodo Labs Network Discovery allows MSPs to quickly assess all devices on a network without credentials, providing a detailed snapshot of connected devices, their OS versions, and roles—even before onboarding a client.
2. IT Administrators – Troubleshoot Network Issues Faster
Unlike traditional free network scanners that provide only partial data, Komodo Labs Network Discovery helps IT admins quickly identify devices, OS versions, and potential issues without requiring full network access credentials.
3. Cybersecurity Teams – Detect Unauthorized & Rogue Devices
With stealth scanning techniques, Komodo Labs Network Discovery helps identify shadow IT devices, rogue access points, and other potential security risks. This allows cybersecurity teams to proactively monitor networks without relying on credentials or pre-installed agents.
4. Small Businesses – See What’s on Your Network
For business owners or small IT teams who need a simple way to check what’s connected to their network, Komodo Labs Network Discovery provides an easy-to-use interface that reveals more than free IP scanners, without the complexity of enterprise-grade network monitoring software.
How Komodo Labs Network Discovery Stacks Up Against Free Tools
🔹 More Details Than Basic IP Scanners – Free scanners often only show IPs, MAC addresses, and manufacturer names. Komodo Labs Network Discovery goes further by identifying device types, OS estimates, and system uptime.
🔹 No Credentials Required – Many network discovery tools require WMI, SNMP, or admin logins to pull deeper insights. Komodo Labs Network Discovery provides more data without requiring credentials.
🔹 Easier Than Command-Line Scanners – Unlike some command-line-based network scanning tools, Komodo Labs Network Discovery has a clean, user-friendly interface that lets IT professionals scan networks without scripting.
🔹 Faster & More Efficient for MSPs – Instead of manually running multiple scans or logging into each device, MSPs can get a full network overview in minutes.

Slitheris Freeware Ends
Dear users,
On December 17th, 2015 we released a Freeware/Lite version of our Slitheris Network Scanner to the world. However it’s existence confused a number of users and it hasn’t improved popularity or conversion as expected. Therefore effective March 31st, regretfully, we plan to end all development and support of the Freeware/Lite Edition in favor dedicating more resources to our premium network scanner, Slitheris Pro.
The Pro version will still be free for 25 devices and there are many ground-breaking improvements planned this year. If Slitheris has helped you, we hope you’ll consider purchasing soon. The 256 /24 license is still only $95, until April 1st. As of April 4th, the base price will increase to $195.
Although still in its infancy, Slitheris Pro currently provides the best & quickest overview scans available anywhere, especially on difficult-to-scan networks. We hope you continue to use Slitheris and tell the world how useful it was for you.
To those who have tried to help by sharing kind words about Slitheris, thank you.
We’ve recently restructured our pricing as well, with better value pricing.
Slitheris Pro pricing until March 31st, 2016
$95 – 256 devices (/24)
$195 – up to 1000 devices
$349 – Unlimited devices
Slitheris Pro pricing after March 31st, 2016
$195 – 256 devices (/24)
$295 – up to 1000 devices
$395 – Unlimited devices

Slitheris Network Discovery v1.0! (formerly Slitheris Network Scanner)
Introducing Slitheris Network Scanner v1.0 by Komodo Labs!
Click here for screenshot.
It’s finally here! Today, after 2 years of intense research and development, Komodo Labs introduces a powerful new fully-multithreaded advanced IP scanner called Slitheris!
Thousands of man hours have been spent to find the best scanning techniques available, like network discovery of those ‘hidden gems’; unpingable network devices & PCs you never knew existed, even on network segments without ARP capability. This saves money on duplicate purchases, especially on large networks. Other important features include proprietary TCP/UDP OS Fingerprinting to detect operating systems like iOS and Android, and Windows, with over 80% accuracy. If you’re looking to retire old XP PCs or upgrade from Windows 8 to 10, but aren’t sure where they all are, or wanting to find which PCs have upgraded to Windows 10, Slitheris detects the Windows OS better and more cost-effectively than anything else. Additional Windows details include Service Pack, Uptime, Boot Time, Time of Day, true FQDN, SQL Server versions, and much more! We even started prototyping identification of device types, like switches, printers, routers, phones and servers, the ‘holy grail’ of network enumeration. For now, version 1.0 provides a “hint” of what a device may be, which is still more than you get with other IP scanners. Our future goal is to accurately identify more devices than anything else. All this is done with no credentials, no agents, no access rights, no fuss. This makes it useful for experts and novices alike. And if you’re an MSP (Managed Service Provider) and want to advance ahead of the competition, or regularly perform network audits of disparate networks, Slitheris is.
Like NEWT Pro, Slitheris Pro is 100% free for networks of up to 25 network devices. And we’ve just released a new build with a real freeware version built in, called Slitheris Freeware, for unlimited devices! This makes it a free & easy choice for most home users, home offices, and organizations with very small networks, but also a free option for those with larger networks! Download it today and find out what’s on your network! Try it against any free network scanner or IP scanner and see for yourself!
Until product and purchase pages are launched, please use the following links and enjoy promotional pricing. Due to delays in currency conversion, we recommend using US Dollars for all transactions. This allows your banking institution to perform a much more accurate and up-to-date conversion at the time of purchase.
* An annual fee of $79 ($39 for 256 device licenses) may apply after the first year for the latest Device Type Definitions, OS Fingerprints and Priority Tech Support. All software upgrades are free, so you’re never behind on new features and bug fixes!
