The best [IMHO] is nmap, you can save the output, use cron to
schedule it at different times, then use diff to view the
changes. That way, you can create a history.
If nmap is too complicated, use nmapfe [nmap front end] to
generate the command line and plug in cron.
Products like GFI scanner, create beautiful web pages to show the
customer, "but nmap is still the king."
