Great tool!  Thanks for the work you did on this and a special thanks in
sharing.  I scanned 4 Class B networks with it today!  Fast and seems to be
pretty accurate!

Our vuln scanning tool is here, updated to detect MS05-039:

http://infosec.yorku.ca/tools/

(also checks MS04-007, MS04-011 for good measure)

It is designed for speed and should do a class-B in 5-10 minutes or less
(run 
with 100+ threads). I got tired of renaming it after every new Microsoft 
security bulletin, so it is just called noxscan now (used to be 011scan). It
is 
somewhat of a hack but works well enough for us - standard disclaimer, YMMV,
no 
guarantees of any kind... Tested on Linux, OpenBSD, and Solaris.

Thanks to those on #unisog who helped test it.
