Subject: RPC scanners

My $0.02.

The MS scanner covers a /16 in about two hours.  It *will* report Win9x
machines as vulnerable, but that's a price I'm willing to pay.
Unfortunately it gives you an IP list with no indication of what is
wrong with the box.  (Is it missing both 026 & 039?  Just 039?)  But it
allows you to script things that can help automate remediation
processes.

The eEye scanner works very well, but it limits you to a /24, which is a
bit of a pain.  We use it for monitoring the worst offenders (VLANS, not
people.)

The Foundstone scanner?  Well, I started scanning the /16 last night
around 6PM.  It's at 62582 addresses right now, so I suppose it will
finish some time today.  Not good.  I was surprised, because their SQL
scanner is very fast.  It covers a /16 in about an hour.  Don't know
what the problem is, but something is definitely wrong.

I haven't tried any other scanners.  I'll stick with the MS and eEye
scanners.
