Re: Scanning tool that will track and report diffs

[cloper <cloper () crowncollege edu>]

I am almost finished with a utility that uses nmap that stores data in a 
MySQL server, should hopefully be done this weekend. Its just a small 
utility, not big and bulky, simply notifies if a system that was 
previously scanned is down, if new systems came up, and what ports have 
changed on the systems.
