How to Detect Port Scanners On Your Network
If you want to detect any port scanning or other similar types of scanning devices that are installed on your computer's connected local area network, you may use a native tool found in the Windows control panel. This tool will scan your computer and the network in search of devices that you can use on your own machine. It will then compile a list of results and allow you to pick which one, if any, you want to use.
