BASS includes RPC support, and was designed with bulk in mind (It was developed for the Internet Auditing Project). It will only take a few minutes of trivial effort to update the scanner (I might just do it myself). Besides being a bit out of date, it's well suited for the task. RPC support is based on portmapper however, so you won't fair well if the network is behind a firewall. You can grab it at: http://www.securityfocus.com/data/tools/network/bass-1.0.7.tar.gz BTW, Unless you're running a Linux libc5 (our original development system), you'll need to apply the bugfix patches posted on Bugtraq a few weeks ago (Yes, a new version *is* in order). Fyodor's nmap, especially with RPC support is really an excellent tool. However, with nmap: 1) It may take a while to comprehensively scan a very large network. 2) It merely detects the presence of a service, and does not test for vulnerability (by attempting an overflow and evaluating the response, or the lack of one).
