There is a command line version of NMap for Win32 but it is flaky somewhat. Shadow Security scanner is a great freeware scanner for Win32 but if you want really Heavy Duty for an NT environment, go with Retina, available in a limited demo from www.eeyes.org

Good day, I just wanted to pose this question to the group, what are some of the best network scanners on the market for finding vulnerabilities on your network, reporting on issues, and suggesting fixes for the known vulnerabilities that are found? When you respond, please note if this is a *nix or Win32 app (I'm in a Win32 environment). I've been working on testing a few different products and have had a tough time on picking one to go with. Also worth noting, I haven't found an application that is thorough enough for my liking yet either. The real dilemma is, I have such a tight budget (who in IT doesn't these days though) that I am forced to make a very informed decision. So, with that in mind here is your challenge. I appreciate any feedback you can give me, and am looking forward to putting my servers under even greater stress with your recommendations (assuming there is a trial demo available or you suggest a free app). :) Sincerely, Bejon Parsinia [EMAIL PROTECTED]
