A friend and I are writing a tool to do this right now; it's called
netdiff, and if you'd like to be part of the test group, drop me an
email. We're still coding it but should have something relatively
shortly.

The focus of our tool is finding both changed hosts *and* changed
ports -- so if you have new systems pop up it'll show you, and if you
have new ports pop up on existing systems, it'll show you those as
well.

Hi Daniel,

Is it anything to do with this from Engarde?

NetDiff is a network reporting tool written in perl that runs nmap portscans of a specified network
or networks and stores
the results to a MySQL database. It can then report the differences between successive scans,
giving administrators a
snapshot view of recent changes on their network.
This report is very useful for network maintenance and monitoring, it will automatically let you
know when:
o A new host is added to the network.
o A host is shut down or disconnected from the network.
o A service has stopped running.
o A new service port has been opened.
Additionally, if version and OS scanning is enabled, the report will list those differences as well,
telling you if:
o A server daemon was upgraded or patched.
o The host´s operating system was upgraded or changed.
