I have put the comment out at one point that I would be more than happy to perform additional tests be they against individual hosts or a large network... I will happily comply... One of the problems is that unicorn scan needs to be "tuned" against each specific network as Robert mentioned to me in a previous email... and to me that becomes a hit against right off the bat... if I have to scan and tune and scan and tune... that defeats the purpose. If the authors want a large sampling... and want to see independent results... I'm more than willing to do it, but don't tell me I need to continually tune your product... Thing of the added time to pen tests and audits. Scan once and potentially wait a few seconds longer (although in most cases you didn't have to wait as long) or scan numerous times, tuning each time so that ultimately you have one scan that was faster... but you've done numerous scans. Either way... Authors... give me your idea scan line for a large target base and I'll test them and post speed and accuracy results.

At some point I'm hoping someone does a more in-the-field test. I know Portbunny and maybe Unicornscan are more suited to larger scans, realizing their gains over time. Rather than against one system or a couple home systems, I'd love to see results over a larger target range. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
