Subject: Foundstone DCOM Scanner

If you have any specific bug in our tool that you know of I would love to
know about it. We currently do not have any reports. It obviously is good to
be the first however it is simple logic to understand that being the first,
with a broken tool, will not leave a good taste in clients mouths, therefore
quickest to the market is not always good in the long run. so with that you
should always want to strive for accuracy, although knowing not everything
will be perfect. that is at least what i think...

| Personally I'd look at more than just port 135. Hint?
|
| ISS has in the past produced command line scanners that could be
| used in scripts, but haven't seen anything new from those folks
| as of late.
|
| A GUI based scanner would prove to be challenging in that respect
| and free scanners from eeye and foundstone and ISS are usually
| limited to class C unless you want to pay +900.00 dollars for the
| unpredictability they are offering.  Couldn't tell you why that
| is the cased though, perhaps it is based on who has the first
| tool available the quickest to the public or just don't quite
| understand how to check for it properly on all platforms.
|
| Quickest to market makes the fastest bucks, right?  Hmmm.
