What is the fastest way to scan a whole class B (about 10,000 active
hosts) for just the ASN.1 hole?

I am aware of several options:

     1. use gui, select just the one plugin and run scan -- bad because
        gui usually dies before scan finishes.
     2. use command line client with a config saved from the gui that
        just runs the single plugin. (what ports should be scanned --
        139?)
     3. use nmap to do scan (which port?) and then run the plugin from a
        perl script which reads the output from nmap.  Perl script could
        launch parallel processes.  (any advantage over 2 ?)
     4. any other ideas.


As ultimate output I need a list of IP addresses that are vulnerable
which I can feed into my automatic notification script.  I'm guessing
that xml output may well be easiest to manipulate in perl to extract out
the desired info.  Again any ideas or experience solicited.

Cheers and thanks, Russell
