RE: Looking for a better scanner for CodeRed

Hi,

Try nessus (www.nessus.org). It has a special code-red vulnerability
check, and an .IDA mapping check (which is the main problem in the first
place).

Nessus comes with 700+ security tests, but you can configure it to run
only certain tests, and to skip the port scan (if all your servers
listen on port 80) in order to make a quick scan for code red
vulnerabilities (don't know why you would want to do that, though. If
you're taking the time to scan the machines, why not scan for other
security holes as well?)

Subject: Looking for a better scanner for CodeRed


I am currently using the scanning tool from eEye to find 
CodeRed vulnerable
machines. I have several class B networks I have to scan on a 
regular basis.
eEye's scanner only allows range scans for class C networks. 
I have the ISS
scanner but it is too slow for a quick scan. Any info would be greatly
appreciated. I am currently scanning with other software then manually
entering in all of the IIS servers intot he eEye scanner.
