Network Toolbox Net security Reviews

Love NetworkToolboxNetsecurity. I’ve used it for years and it just keeps getting better. I don’t think I paid 6.99 when I bought it, but I’ve easily gotten that much value from it and would buy it again in a second. I’ve only bought less than 20 paid iOS apps but this one is absolutely the one I couldn’t do without. Very reliable and never had annoying bugs like many other similar apps(that do far less, far worse). When I’m troubleshooting ANY networking issue, installing new equipment, managing my servers, transferring files, remotely controlling my desktops, or even just tinkering around with a project.... NetworkToolboxNetsecurity is always the first thing I reach for and usually is the only place I need to.

It has so many things in the kit that I honestly forget what all is included quite often. However if I need something, it’s always worth the check to see if it’s there—whatever tool I’m looking for, it’s usually offered in the Network Toolbox. These developers are top notch too and I really appreciate the continued updates & improvements. Thank you for an awesome app!

NetworkToolboxNetsecurity has truly saved my sanity. My devices have been hacked and for the last 3 years I’ve been losing my mind trying to find out what’s going on. While I’m only self taught and still learning NetworkToolboxNetsecurity has brought me so much clarity into what’s going on. I can see each time what device (while I’m still trying to locate the source I can clearly identify what is attached to me at any given time of day) I’ve used many networking tools to narrow down my hunt but your app has brought me the most clarity and answers. Along with your excellent instructions for each tool in the “toolbox” I now have the MAC address and service provider of said device..... after many many hours and calls to Apple, my cell provider, and all the log reports, your app has been the most helpful!! The only thing I haven’t been able to make work from NetworkToolboxNetsecurity is the Shodan tool. So I end up using the Shodan site directly.

Thank you!!

This application is an amazing asset! Cleanly designed and highly functional. I can’t thank the developer enough!

Note to Apple: it would be very helpful if the company could stop blocking beneficial options to your developers and customers. The sensor data viewer capabilities of NetworkToolboxNetsecurity were very useful and insightful. Why would you have the developer remove this functionality when it clearly would not impact safety or privacy in any meaningful way… There is no need to continue to strip away interesting and useful tools… Also, MAC Address being blocks from view on the network scan… Why block this when so many other devices can easily view the same data??

This is the only paid app I’ve ever used and it’s worth it. It has a wide variety of tools with readable and useful documentation all in a well planned and organized interface. The updates are frequent and relevant. I have no complaints except perhaps there is no way (that I can find) to clear the remembered input. A huge thanks to the developer. I look forward to future updates and functionality. If you are a professional or seriously curious about networking then this is NetworkToolboxNetsecurity for you. At this price, it’s a bargain. I’m not getting paid, or any benefit whatsoever for this review. My strong recommendation is just the only way I can think of to say THANK YOU to the developer.

When I bought NetworkToolboxNetsecurity I was having a rough go of it to put it mildly. I want to personally thank Marcus and all who make NetworkToolboxNetsecurity work and answer any questions you may have (even if you feel they are stupid, they treat you with respect and and help you find an answer). I use NetworkToolboxNetsecurity to keep track of my network now and my phone (which was found both had issues). I am not much of a speechwriter so I will keep it short. I did tell Marcus I will donate real soon (like most in world it’s tough). I will not forget my promise and I will not forget the support. Thank you again! 10 STARS!

If you’re into anything to do with sysadmin, pentesting, OSINT, red/blue teaming, hacking, networking, webdev, coding, cyber security... and everything like it or related, get this NOW.

Absolutely must have resources as your fingertips. Simply amazing amount of information easily available, even customizable, in a fantastic no-nonsense package that impresses anyone I share it with.

Thank you for such a great app. I love the performance over pretty where it’s designed just well enough to use but not over designed to be annoying. It’s aesthetically ideal for getting things done, extremely functional, and the first app I go to whenever I’m doing the computer voodoo that I do.

NetworkToolboxNetsecurity allows people to learn things, that at this day and age should be some what common knowledge about the routes our personal information goes when it leaves our devices. It shows common people what to look for in regards to security. You have left nothing out when it comes to descriptions of the tools and how to use them. One question though. Will the use of any of the tools make us a target if we were not before? Other than things that are illegal or morally wrong, is there any cautions you could give us on what we shouldn’t do with NetworkToolboxNetsecurity? Anything that might throw up flags on servers we query?

As a networking specialist, NET-Toolbox is fantastic when it comes around to connectivity. Easily check all types of networking items as well as connect to web devices and SMB severs in seconds. Honestly, I pay for a few Apps and usually for a reason. By far, the price has paid for itself and this is my first written review in NetworkToolboxNetsecurity Store. NET-Toolbox even gives you a few hints about how Apple handles your data on devices you have NetworkToolboxNetsecurity installed. The developer is engaged, updates regularly and has not paid or asked me to leave this review. Highly recommend.

I originally rated NetworkToolboxNetsecurity 1 star because I was frustrated by it hanging up and ceasing to function. I also sent a message to the developer (under my real name) and within hours I got a reply back and his guidance on correcting the issue. WOW never have I gotten support that fast, even when I was paying for it.

Like I originally said this is a wonderful collection of tools for the network engineer and anyone wanting to explore (not hack) their environment. I will recommend this to anyone looking for a Swiss Army Knife of internet and network tools.

Marcus, GREAT JOB, LOVE NetworkToolboxNetsecurity .

I’ve tried them all. Fing, net analyzer, iDNS, dozens of them, you name it. Even all their pro versions I paid for expecting half what NetworkToolboxNetsecurity can do. None of them hold a candle to NetworkToolboxNetsecurity and its features. I don’t use anything else and why would I need to? Any IT pro wanting to use a mobile app for network security and administration should look no further. You have found the holy grail! Love the new Have I been pwnd feature. Genius! Keep uP the great work. NetworkToolboxNetsecurity has been a lifesaver!!!!

So I have to start off by being straight forward. I have only really looked through NetworkToolboxNetsecurity briefly, all tools seem to work so far! However the entire reason I am here was because I decided to go ahead and read some of the help articles, and I approached the article about the GhostX “virus” and I have to say, that is my reason for this review! After getting to the update and reading the article. I love this developer.

NetworkToolboxNetsecurity has more tools than my “too touchy” uncle Jim. I use it several times a day, checking AWS services, SSH, SFTP even. But it’s much more powerful than just that.

It’s loaded. The only thing I wish was different is the interface, which is outdated but fully functional. Kinda gives a old cPanel feel.

But strongly recommended and I’m glad to have spent the money as the developer definitely worked for it and deserves it.

NetworkToolboxNetsecurity has so many useful features in it! For a one time fee your getting way more than what you pay for. Even if you have no knowledge of networking at all, NetworkToolboxNetsecurity will teach you A LOT just going through it and figuring out all the different tools. I highly recommend NetworkToolboxNetsecurity. It turns your iOS device into a mini networking tool that anyone could benefit from using.

I’ve read more privacy statements than I care to. I just want to thank you for your brief and clear statement regarding this issue. For as little you’ve written—it says a lot! Thank you.

Supercookies be gone!

Kudos to Marcus for giving the us the ability to have some control/knowledge of our network, smartphones and security. Besides being an extremely useful tool, you have also taken the time to educate and inform us with your Resources and News feed. I’ve played around with your app for around two years now, and can tell this is more than a profession, but a passion to build a great app. Makes one wish they were a network engineer. Thank you for finally allowing me to remove those intrusive supercookies.

I needed a reliable way to test a new internet connection setup and found NetworkToolboxNetsecurity. I have to say I’m really impressed. It does everything you could need in a mobile tool for testing networks, and the reviews are right on the money. I love that it’s a simple paid functional app, and not trying to sell me something every step of the way. You won’t need anything else if you have this one.

I’ve loved how NetworkToolboxNetsecurity has evolved over the years, and my adding a review and rating is long overdue.

The tools in NetworkToolboxNetsecurity have been extremely useful and helpful to me for a long time. While it won’t replace my trusty laptops and various OSes, it’s so convenient on-the-go. Sitting in an airport, hotel, cafe, unplanned site visit, etc.

Highly recommend. I can see it’s a labor of love for the developers.

I wish I could give NetworkToolboxNetsecurity a sixth star. I continue to use it all the time and I recommend it to all of my computer and network administrators friends.

If you're like me you have tried almost every app out there and paid for the same crap over and over again. When all I ever needed was here all along.
Hands down this is the best and most versatile Network app and then some. Save your time and money and enjoy doing everything you need to with your Network here, and be a good friend and tell your friends. If you want to make some of those people that aren't your friend a lot more fun to be around tell them too, they'll thank you.

NetworkToolboxNetsecurity is immensely useful, and the continuous monitoring and updating that the developer Marcus provides is a model others would do well to follow. I'm not an IT professional and many of the subjects with which NetworkToolboxNetsecurity deals are new to me, but Marcus does his best (and his best is very good) to guide even the novice through the minefields. My family's computers, and my home network, are safer due to Marcus's thoughtful efforts.

This is a very awesome tool for my needs. My goal is to use my iPad, when possible, as a basic network troubleshooting tool and NetworkToolboxNetsecurity will aid in that goal. I’m not a network engineer so my needs are not that same as someone in that profession.

Keep up the awesome work and thank you for such a quick response to my recent question.

By far, the best compilation of network tools under a single app and a smooth, clean and working UI. Whatever you are looking to do, you’ll find it here. Compare that next to the detailed documentation within’ and the minimal collecting of data, you have yourself a app worth way more than the price tag.

Dear Network Toolbox Net Team,

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the prompt and effective resolution of the recent pricing issue with your app. After my previous correspondence expressing concern about the shift to a subscription model, it was both surprising and highly commendable to see how quickly you addressed and rectified the situation.

Your swift response in resolving this issue not only demonstrates your commitment to customer satisfaction but also restores my faith in your company’s values and ethics. It's refreshing to see a company take customer feedback seriously and act on it in such a timely manner.

This positive outcome has reinforced my loyalty to Network Toolbox Net. I am pleased to continue using an app that not only serves my professional needs effectively but is also backed by a team that genuinely cares about its user base.

Thank you once again for your understanding and quick action. It's a relief to know that there are still companies that prioritize their customers and are willing to make necessary changes based on their feedback.

Best regards,

I purchased this application for around $10 back in July 2023 and it specifically read in the T&C that the purchase was a lifetime license one time payment it’s your forever.

At least that’s what the legally binding contract read. Now all of a sudden Cigada Lucia purchases the application and immediately devises a plan to squeeze an already broke majority of Americans and make this once great networking tool into a weekly or monthly subscription based app. I will NEVER weekly or monthly subscribe to anything. Ever.

You see just because you purchase the rights too a company or an application does NOT give you the legal authority to not honor agreed upon terms at the time of sale (breach of contract) which is illegal and leaves this person with civil liability in every state and most countries.

I will give Cigada until the end of the week to give me my purchase back immediately with a sincere apology or return my money and you can take back your weekly sub app. Good luck with that bud!

In conclusion,
What was once thee premier network tool for iOS has become nothing more than a very expensive sub par rental with greedy contracting breaking owners.

It’s free to try, I promise you won’t be disappointed!

There’s a lot of replicas out there with cookie cutter interfaces and basic functions. Although NetworkToolboxNetsecurity literally surprised me the more I used it. Everything from port references, protocol lists, cmd descriptions, along with every scan you could need without ever leaving NetworkToolboxNetsecurity . NetworkToolboxNetsecurity has and is still educating me every use. I wish I could provide feedback of a drawback but honestly it’s been everything I needed and more.

This application was one of the most useful tools for network troubleshooting with a developer that consistently improved it. I have owned it 5+ years and have always had it in my toolbox to depend on.

Now, the automatically updated application will not allow me to run it without the lame “subscription” model that I have zero interest in. This is a great utility, but does not pay the bills like other subscription products that offer a choice - i.e. Microsoft 365 E5. Small but use utilities cannot pull this off and I am sad to say app is being deleted and hidden from past purchases. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Sad to see it go.

I rarely take time to review, but this is truly a gem in NetworkToolboxNetsecurity Store! So much depth and breadth of functionality is packed into Marcus’ creation that it is a perfect fit for newbies and advanced IT specialists. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that I have run into a snag that I’ll be reaching out to him about in short order. Keeping my fingers crossed that he will be able to work it out for me. If you’re deciding on which of these type utilities to download, STOP and pull the trigger on this bad-boy! You won’t be disappointed.

Whether your just beginning your networking quest or far adavanced; NetworkToolboxNetsecurity is the Jack of most trades. I cannot believe how many goodies have been packed into one app. I’ve owned NetworkToolboxNetsecurity for nearly a year and it’s taught me info I wasn’t even aware I was searching for. Whether you are searching for reasons your computer is slow, worries about what your kids may be doing online, worries he may be cheating, currently in technical school, fascinated how things work, or just plain old don’t trust Uncle Sam then NetworkToolboxNetsecurity is a must. It’s a great stepping stone with individual instructions briefly explaining how to utilize each feature offered. All network tools rolled in one. It’s also creates api keys and stores passwords as well as assisting in a deeper search for anything you may be researching. I can view all devices on my current network as well as which devices have bonjour or upnp running. I am far from advanced and only recently became interested in all things tech. There’s so much here that I could not even do it justice by trying to list. This is one of my favorite apps. Thank you for creating this beauty

I bought NetworkToolboxNetsecurity previously and have used it for quite some time. They have since moved to a subscription model around the time I believe its ownership was transferred to the current developer. Well, I have no license according to the new version of software. I contacted NetworkToolboxNetsecurity support and yhet said they were going to fix it in a few days with a release . That was on January 16, 2024. It wasn’t fixed. I emailed on February 1, 2024 asking what the status was and that I still couldn’t use their app that I bought a perpetual license for previously. That brings us here. I wanted to avoid leaving a bad review but feel that I now have no choice but to do so. If this gets resolved, I will change my review accordingly, but not being able to use software I already paid for is unacceptable and merits a bad review.

NetworkToolboxNetsecurity stole my money! I paid for it a few years ago via a one-time App Store purchase and could use all of the functionality included.

HOWEVER, now they have switched to a subscription model and the fact that I paid for a lifetime license previously does not matter. There is no way to restore my purchase in NetworkToolboxNetsecurity .

I’ve seen other unhappy reviewers responded to by the new owners of NetworkToolboxNetsecurity , being told to email them to get it sorted out. But this seems predatory as it makes getting what you already paid for difficult and exclusive to those who complain. If people didn’t know that they had to reach out, they might just roll over and buy the subscription anyway, giving even more profit to the new owners who clearly do not care about their existing customer base.

Updated; the new app owner has restored my lifetime license. See my old review below but realize this was remedied so I made
This 5 stars!
Old review: purchased NetworkToolboxNetsecurity for $7 years ago and used it often. I open NetworkToolboxNetsecurity today and attempt to “restore” purchase and it says “nothing to restore” and tries to make me pay a subscription fee, very dishonest of the developer to bait and switch his loyal customers Who paid for a product they can no longer use. NetworkToolboxNetsecurity is being deleted.

Hey is it possible to have more “Test” cases for HTTP connect? You can literally load a text file containing hundreds of XSS into an array and use that as a testing. Also, “Security Checks”.. a lot of that is outdated. The exploits used within are not current.. Can you upgrade that to test for more devices? If you won’t update the actual exploits can you at least add more devices with commonly known exploits to the list?

I’m grateful to the new owners of the best by far networking tool out there. And I want to encourage those who out of curiosity may be reading these reviews or the apps description itself to download and purchase the subscription it’s totally worth it. The mere fact that you are taking the time to read about NetworkToolboxNetsecurity says you as well as all of us current users consider this to be an essential app for the iOS user. I hope you join the community and see for yourself how powerful, helpful and educational this application is. It will indeed serve you well!

Very useful app with awesome tools baked in. The UI could use some work and it is a bit slow to start up, although I do have advanced mode toggled on.

Another thing is no matter I can’t get UPNP or Service discovery to show up in NetworkToolboxNetsecurity . I know there are services being broadcasted on my LAN by confirming this with other apps, however NetworkToolboxNetsecurity seems to be unable to discover them.

I’m paying the weekly subscription but debating on its worthiness as a weekly subscription seems to be a bit much. I would prefer monthly.

These are the best and some of the most specialized tools for networking in both the ipv4 and ipv6 worlds. I love being able to see all the real data and have access to advanced options. All the other networking utilities you find for IOS seem to simplify and hide all the information of real value in attempts to make a pretty UI. No one needs a pretty UI. With the limitations apple puts on device access this suite does a better job then any other I’ve found to provide useful tools you would otherwise need a linux os for.
