RunZero Explorer

RunZero Explorer is the lightweight, versatile network discovery scanning component that powers the RunZero asset intelligence and cyber asset attack surface management platform. Designed for effortless deployment across diverse network architectures, the RunZero Explorer can be installed as a lightweight binary or service on Windows, macOS, Linux, and virtual appliances, or executed on demand from an administrator workstation. The Explorer utilizes proprietary, ultra-fast active discovery techniques to map complex corporate subnets, remote branch offices, internal cloud VPCs, and isolated industrial control network segments without disrupting sensitive network equipment. Unlike legacy vulnerability scanners that rely on intrusive exploit payloads or require broad administrative credentials, RunZero Explorer conducts safe, protocol-level interactions, analyzing TCP/IP stack fingerprints, TLS certificates, SNMP responses, and mDNS broadcasts to accurately identify connected devices. Multiple Explorers can be distributed across geographically separated enterprise sites, securely streaming discovery metadata back to the centralized RunZero cloud or on-premises console over outbound HTTPS. Administrators can schedule automated scans, customize discovery speed, define exclusion ranges, and detect rogue network devices in minutes. RunZero Explorer delivers dependable, frictionless network visibility across all network tiers.
