a good place of exploit code and/or vulnerability checks is
http://www.genocide2600.com/~tattooman/main.shtml
and
http://www.rootshell.com (not so frequently updated).
also
http://www.sans.org and http://www.cert.org
NT based systems can be checked safely with Webtrends Security Analyser:
http://www.webtrends.com/products/wsa/
There's a very good NT checklist for NT 4.0 at
http://spider.osfl.disa.mil/cm/security/check_list/check_list.html
I have more links, just on the way to compile a list to publish.
If you like more specific information for a particular system mail me here or
privately or just be patient for a week or so until the linklist is finished :-)
Hope this helps to start...
