What like vulnerability scanner? SAINT works well. If you are looking for scan detection and maybe some counter-measures then check out this link.

Port Sentry is ver y good.
If you are rich, try : http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/adv_index.html
the best I stumbled upon so far...
Ya know, I have been plauged with the curse of being born a poor white boy. Heh.
Anyways, being a non-professional, I find it hard to find Network Admin tools. Scanners, ect...
I am in desperate need of some clean legit and most of all FREE administration software. Anyone knows anything let me know.
Want to buy me a copy scorp666?
What OS are you talking about? It makes a BIG difference.
http://www.webattack.com is a good source for Windows stuff. They have a comprehensive freeware and shareware section for web administration and develloppement...
Nessus is a great vulnerability scanner. I like it a lot because it scans for such a large number of vulnerabilities. I've heard lots of complaints about the number of log entries it creates in the scanned system, but I personally see that as a bonus. That means that it has less use when scanning someone else's box because unless they're clueless, or unless you're able to get in before they notice, they're bound to see the log entries. It makes it a lot less useful tool for someone trying to sneak in a system quietly.
Try nmap, works great for *nix or Win* .
cheers
nmap is not a vulnerability scanner....try nessus
Yes, nessus is pretty decent... and you can add your own things to it.
im probly going to get reamed for this but microsoft releast new scanner you might want to give a shot if your network is pc... its called
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer
o yeah its free off their web page.
ISS suite is an good scanning program however you have to buy the keys for the software becuse it can shutdown whole networks...price on keys...$10,000.00 a piece the whole Army only owns 6 of them
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer is good but I dislike them. It only search only Microsoft security. Not another stuffs. I like Saint, Zone Alarm, BlackICE, Retina, Iris. Seucirty tools are NOT cheap!

nmap is a network security scanner..........................
From http://www.insecure.org/nmap/
"Nmap ("Network Mapper") is an open source utility for network exploration or security auditing."

"Languard" will only run on NT/2000 (I have not tried on XP), but also looks for vulnerablities. Does not work in "stealth mode", good admin. will detect you! You can scan range of IP/subnets/etc. Great evaluation tool for our network at work. Freeware.
I like Languard, I would recommand it.
NMAP is NOT a security scanner...nmap is merely a port scanner or network mapper (as it says)... Although having ports open often leads to security holes, listening port by themselves have nothing to do with security...it is the application using the ports. NMAP does not test those applications, it simply tells you whether or not something is using the port.Quote:

Of course there are many common ports that we can use to deduce what vulnerabilities may exist, but nmap will not verify this. For example...nmap may tell you that port 80 is open...but what it won't tell you is that the application using port 80 is IIS or Apache, etc. Nor will it tell you whether any vulnerabilities exist such a unicode.
I would consider nmap more of an auditing tool...and I think you know what I meant in the first place...
Does anybody know of some "non standard" plugin source for Nessus?Quote:
