摘要：Network Security Scanner (NSS) is a tool that allows auditing and monitoring remote network computers for possible vulnerabilities, checks your network for all potential methods that a hacker might use to attack it. Network Security Scanner is a complete networking utilities package that includes a wide range of tools for network security auditing, vulnerability Auditing, scanning, monitoring and more.Network Security Scanner (NSS) is an easy to use, intuitive network security scanner that can quickly scan and audit your network computers for vulnerabilities, exploits, and information enumerations. Vulnerability management is an on-going process that protects your valuable data and it is a key component of an effective information security strategy, which provides comprehensive, preemptive protection against threats to your enterprise security. N.S.S is built on an architecture that allows for high reliability and scalability that caters for both medium and large sized networks.NSS consists of six modules. They are Host Scanning, Port Scanning, Pinging, NSLookup, Vulnerability Auditing and Trace route. NSS also performs live host detection, operating system identification, SNMP Auditing. Finds rouge services and open TCP and UDP ports.The ability varies to perform scanning over the network identifying the live hosts and guess the operating system of the remote hosts and installed programs into the remote hosts. Apart identifying the live hosts we could map the ports and list the services which are running in the host.
