Re: website for applications and versions?

Greetings,

No one seems yet to have mentioned one of my favorite tools: the
Vulnerability Database at SecurityFocus.com
(http://www.securityfocus.com/bid).  You can search by
vendor/title/version, title or keyword, in addition to searching by the
bugtraq or CVE ID number.   It also clearly indicates under which OS the
software vulnerability exits.  If you need additional details about a
specific vulnerability, there are "discussion", "exploit" and "solution"
tabs that provide much more information.

Do any of you know if a website that lists various applications, the
various versions, and whether or not that particular version is
exploitable?

I would like to be able to run AMAP against a machine - see which
applications are bound to a port - and check this "uber" site to see if
the machine is MOST LIKELY not exploitable (if there even IS such a
thing in our business).
