You're best off doing some scanning on your own, if only to be
slightly edumucated on such practices. There are great free tools out
there too:
nmap - http://nmap.org/
nessus - http://www.nessus.org/nessus/intro.php
Actually, unless it is for your own personal use[ie not scanning a
client site], nessus costs about 1200/year.
If you really want open source, OpenVAS is currently active[currently
working on v4 beta]. It was, initially, a fork of Nessus 2.0 back in
2005 when Nessus 3.0 was released under its new closed source model.
As of 2008 Nessus no longer provides an 7 day delayed feed of
security tests and will not include any GPL tests anymore.
So OpenVAS is probably your best bet.
