Nessus is great for a mixed environment. Good reporting, understandable and has references to other links for more info. GFI LanGaurd is great for Windows environments and can do much more than a scan, it can push updates, show installed apps, and a few other useful things. Metasploit is hard to understand, but great for deeper analysis and actually attacking a machine ( my favorite ) You can also use WebScarBar for webservers. I just downloaded/installed it but have not figured it out yet.... Seems a little advanced too, but I'm going to work on it next month sometime....It's like a packet capture ( before send ) so you can modify the gets,posts,etc before sending to the server. This would be more for attempting to XXS or SQL inj. Cool idea though. I can't wait to play. Hope this helps :) -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of hkshimulbd () gmail com Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2008 9:00 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Pen tester Hi all, I am working in a Telco as Assistant Manager, Information Security and we want to use commercial scanner for pen testing (port scanning, vulnerability scanning, exploit, password attack etc.).
