Hello, I am responsible for monitoring hundreds of machines over thousands of external IP addresses. I currently run nmap manually once a week and import the results into Excel to compare them with the previous week to find hosts that are new and also take note of those that have been taken off the Internet. I am looking for a web front end, batch process, or similar that would meet the following requirements. -Input file of external IP ranges I am responsible for -Have the tool scan all ranges to determine responding IPs -Compare results to previous week and note exceptions -Scheduling capability to have this take place weekly
From a quick search, I found these two tools that I
might try out if I have time. I have not heard of them before and have not had a chance to read up on their capabilities: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gwmos/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/cancerbero/ I am also interested to hear thoughts on the best way to do host discovery. Many of our firewalls will block ICMP requests which is fast and not complete. Scanning for every TCP and UDP port can take days. I'm looking for a good middle ground that would be fairly complete but not take an excessive amount of time. I currently scan for about 15 common TCP ports which takes about half of a day. I have the ability to run these on either a Windows XP machine or a web server (php, etc.). Thanks in advance. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons. See all the new 2007 cars at Yahoo!
