Tenable Network Security would like to invite readers of the focus-ids mailing list to download and try the NeVO passive vulnerability scanner which is now available as a BETA release for Windows XP and Windows 2000. NeVO is a commercial software product which 'sniffs' your vulnerabilities 24x7. It learns your network's systems, clients, applications and vulnerabilities through passive monitoring. With NeVO, you can turn almost any NIDS or firewall into a device which collects security information with no impact to the systems being analyzed. You can also run NeVO on your laptop, visit your favorite network places with your favorite protocols, and discover a wide variety of security information about where you visit. Visiting a variety of open source and commercial security web sites with NeVO running is extremely enlightening and sometimes entertaining. Tenable has been shipping NeVO for Linux and FreeBSD since October of 2003 and has recently completed a Microsoft port. This BETA of NeVO for XP is fully compatible with the current NeVO passive vulnerability signature set and also includes an intuitive user interface with real-time notification of observed vulnerabilities. To download NeVO, please obtain it from: http://www.tenablesecurity.com/newt/NeVO_XP_Beta.zip To install NeVO, unzip the download and run the setup.exe program. This BETA will expire in early April, but is otherwise fully functional and not crippled in any way. You can deploy it on a live network and get an extremely good idea of the network's vulnerabilities without having to conduct a full active scan. For user's with wireless NICs, NeVO may not be able to place your interface into promiscuous mode. There is an 'options' setting in the NeVO user interface to disable promiscuous mode. Also, when NeVO for XP is installed, it defaults to looking at all traffic. If you happen to place NeVO in front of a busy web server, NeVO will perform passive vulnerability analysis on all visitors. To avoid this, use the 'options' setting in the NeVO user interface to limit which networks NeVO should focus on.
