Snort, shadow, and the like are IDS systems (intrusion detection).
They will do nothing to scan a firewall to determine what ports
are open and what vulnerabilities exist, but they will tell you if
someone *else* is looking for vulnerabilities.
nmap for NT is listed at http://www.eeye.com/html/Databases/Software/nmapnt.html.
I haven't used it, so can't vouch for it, but nmap itself seems to
be the choice for many who want a no-nonsense scanner.
