Cheops-ng is a tool that enables network mapping and monitoring. It is designed to help users manage their network efficiently.
One of the key features of Cheops-ng is its ability to detect the operating systems of connected hosts, providing valuable insights into the devices connected to your network. Additionally, Cheops-ng can probe hosts to determine which services are running on each device. What's more, Cheops-ng even has the ability to identify the program name and version number of services in some instances.
A key difference between Cheops-ng and the original Cheops software is that Cheops-ng is often referred to as the "Next Generation" of Cheops. Cheops-ng is designed to provide improved functionality and capabilities compared to its predecessor, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a new and improved network management tool.
Another advantage of Cheops-ng is that it features a backend server that runs continuously in the background. This differs from Cheops, which relies solely on a GUI-based interface. By running the server in the background, Cheops-ng is able to provide more reliable and efficient monitoring functionality.
With its powerful mapping features and comprehensive host discovery capabilities, Cheops-ng is a must-have tool for any network administrator. While Cheops-ng doesn't yet have monitoring capabilities, work is ongoing to develop and support this feature. In contrast, the original Cheops software is no longer being developed or supported.
