These are OK for port scanning but do not really tell me about vulnerabilites like ISS does. I've gotten good replies off other lists all suggesting www.nessus.org . Another recommendation was sara http://www-arc.com/sara/ . Its open source, runs on UNIX but has a windows and X-windows based clients for using it. I'm gonna try this som'ama bitch out and see how it works. I was very happy with snort as free open source tool and hopefully this tool will be of the same quality.
