Review of 12 Vulnerability Scanners

Posted by kdawson on Sunday December 31, 2006 @08:02AM from the poking-for-holes dept.

produke points us to a review of security vulnerability scanners. It's light on detail and not terribly well organized, but might provide a starting point for more research. From the article: "A few months back I did some intense testing of all the best vulnerability scanners out there... I had a couple nix boxes hooked up, as well as some dozers, and figured I could add clients to a 'once-a-week' scanning contract. So naturally, I wanted to use the scanner that was the best for my purpose... Better to use firewalk, hping3 (now with scripting!), nmap, etc., and leave these crutch-like tools alone."

Holy shit. Did this really just make the front page. To summarize, the reviewer "really liked this one" oh and "this one was nice too". I think a third grader could write a better review then that steaming pile of shit. This is the epitome of blog spam.

  I normally don't take the time to write useless "I concur!"-type comments--especially under AC--but it must be said. I have never seen an "article" this poorly written linked on slashdot. This is not a review, it is the drug-distorted rambling of a nine-year-old.
