what can Remote Vulnerability Scanner do? Will this

the future?
Scan for remote vulnerabilities. Scanning for local
vulnerabilities can obviously only be done locally.
Basically you need to have a remote access method
before you can
do anything remotely. It might be useful to get a
windows version of sshd or cfengine. Another possibility
would be to make the local scanner executable available
on the network, and then have each machine individually
download it and run it locally.
Basically, to check for local vulnerabilities, you
need:
1. A deployment process (hopefully simple)
2. An execution process
This is exactly what cfengine was designed to solve in
the Unix
world.
