This release provides significant new features, and ISS advises all Internet Scanner customers to upgrade as soon as possible. Highlights of the release include: ActiveAlert (TM) Internet Scanner 6.1 now includes the ability to report vulnerabilities discovered in real-time, via messages sent to a co-resident RealSecure OS Sensor. This allows important security issues (like the discovery of DDoS Zombie programs) to be alarmed to a console for immediate attention. Essentially, this lets Internet Scanner act as a RealSecure sensor. Perimeter Router Check The new Perimeter Router vulnerability check locates the perimeter of an organization's network, by finding routers that connect into or out of the organization. Each of these perimeter points should have increased protection. Windows 2000 Support Internet Scanner 6.1 now runs on Windows 2000 Professional with full functionality. Internet Scanner 6.1 also provides many new Windows 2000-specific security checks. Additional Database Scanner Integration Internet Scanner 6.1 now includes new vulnerability checks that will help the Database Scanner 4.0 Penetration Test mode execute more effectively. In addition, Internet Scanner now allows the Internet Scanner user to execute Database Scanner in "penetration test mode". Penetration test mode uses information gathered by Internet Scanner and default account information to attempt a brute force attack that will allow access to the database, even if the operator does not know the database administrator password. New Vulnerability Checks Internet Scanner 6.1 includes 12 new vulnerability checks, including 10 vulnerability checks for Windows 2000 vulnerabilities. There is much more in the release, including enhanced Operating System identification, enhanced command-line control for report generation, and full support for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) security standard. Please refer to the readme.txt file or the "What's New" section of the documentation for more information. There is a new ISS Web page that details the release history of each X-Press Update.
