hi ya

salix seems to have 69 remote exploits included in its tools..
but think there were over 700(?)  rootkits ??? 
and countless xx,000 exploits...

<rant>
doing a portscan like nessus/nmap is sorta worthless ???
        - it doesnt matter that port 25 is open on your mail server
        - it doesnt matter that port 80 is open on your web server

        - what does matter is that the version running on port 25/80
        (any other open ports) is secured and patched apps
</rant>
