Ed, I agree with B. Johnson, Nessus is certainly the tool of choice as far as I am concerned. It is amazing what it can do in conjunction with Nmap. As far as Nessus is concerned, it can be free, it is your choice. Using the free version, you will have no official technical support, although there are typically many people who are willing to help through various newsgroups. Unless I am mistaken, to use Nessus as you have described, the only requirement is that you inform the creators of Nessus that you are using the product to scan third party networks. Steve
I'm really confused about what tools I need in my "toolkit" for Windows-related audits. I've heard a lot about Nessus as a freeware program but am confused when I go on the nessus.org site and see that it might not be free. Other programs I've heard of include nmap, SAINT, Newt.
