Greetings, Earlier this month, Tyler Reguly released some comparison test findings for Nmap, Unicornscan, and Portbunny (http://www.computerdefense.org/?p=443). Unfortunately, these tests weren't entirely accurate or indicative of what a security tester would see in the field. I have spent some evening hours conducting my own tests and have completed three rounds of testing. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To summarize tests so far: Round 1 - Scanner on same switch as target, no filters - nmap winner (close finish) Round 2 - Scanner on same switch as target, iptables filter - portbunny winner (close finish) Round 3 - Scanner on different network, multiple targets, multiple platforms, no filters - unicornscan clear winner. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I plan on completing at least 1 or 2 more rounds over the next few weeks.
