It'd be really easy to script with just about any CLI-based scanner, I
should think. I believe this would include nmap - so you run nmap against
your target list, run the diff, e-mail the results.

Subject: Port Scanner Reports

All,

I am looking for a port scanning tool (software or hardware, 
open source or commercial) that I can configure to run on a 
regularly scheduled basis, say once a week or once a month, 
for around 500 internal servers and workstations (Unix/Linux, 
Windows and Novell).

The goal is to produce a "diff" report that will identify any 
new ports that have been opened on any of the servers or 
workstations from the previous scan.

This would need to be a completely automatic process that 
would email out the results after each scan cycle.

Are there any products that can perform this task?

Thanks,
Jeff B.
