hey,
i wasn't going to mention this until i saw qualys and vigilante
being mentioned. it feels awfully like i'm doing a plug, but i think this
approach is worth mentioning:
over the last few years we've been developing an Internet-based scanning
solution called "HackRack" - check www.hackrack.com. The live site is
running version 2 of the system but i'm going to describe version 3, which
is currently in Alpha testing.
HackRack is essentially a web front end for Nessus, but is also more, less
and different.
it's more because, in addition to the Nessus scans, we also scan for key
DNS entries, open and closed ports and 'pingable' ips within a given
range. in addition, HackRack stores all its findings in a database and
presents its findings in an interactive web interface that allows for
'drill-in' information regarding the problem, real-time retesting of a
specific issue and rescanning of an entire host. it allows for direct,
interactive support, which we offer as part of the subscription. the
reporting interface can also be "taught" which issues are important and
which should be deprioritized or ignored in the future. finally, hackrack
can initiate additional scans or reports intelligently based on the
findings of previous scans. i.e. if we find an new ip 'up' on the network,
we can automagically initiate a scan on that ip and deliver the report.
HackRack is less because it doesn't attempt to be a heavy-duty scanner.
rather, it attempts to provide only the most important vulnerability
information timeously in a simple, succinct form.
HackRack is different because it focuses on detecting changes. we don't
deliver full reports, only reports on what has changed since the previous
day's scans. with this approach, combined with the support and the
'learning' feature our aim is to ensure that every single report we
deliver is studied, because the client knows it will be important.
it's a humble product, but a philosophy i believe in.
