Hi everyone, I been searching for a tool/software that will scan our network and display information about the hosts it found. I am more interested on the Unix servers side. I will like to find them on the network and if possible to tell me which OS they are running. Additionally, if it could tell their patch level and if it is a new server that was just turn on (red color for new type of think). I know Lisa but I don't know if they are any add on/plugin that could generate the information I need out of it? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

nmap will take care of a large part of the scanning, and you can probably find some other tool that uses nmap's output to generate the pretty pictures you might want. Finding that's a task for freshmeat.net or google. :) For detecting new machines on the network, I run arpwatch on one (or more) or the always-on servers. It'll email you when a new machine is added, or when a machine's IP address or an IP's ARP address changes. --Danny

I use nessus (http://www.nessus.org/), it is aimed to be a security and vulnerability scanner - not exactly what you are looking for, but it may fit. Sample report: http://www.nessus.org/demo/third.html

Try nmap (nmapfe - the GUI frontend), it can be used to scan any netwok internal or external - e.g for local network 192.168.10/24. Interesting ports on Bonja.local (192.168.10.5): (The 1656 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 80/tcp open http 111/tcp open rpcbind 10000/tcp open snet-sensor-mgmt MAC Address: 00:0A:E4:4E:A1:42 (Wistron) Device type: general purpose Running: Linux 2.4.X|2.5.X|2.6.X OS details: Linux 2.4.18 - 2.6.4 (x86) Uptime 2.902 days (since Sun Oct 31 22:45:39 2004) Warning: OS detection will be MUCH less reliable because we did not find at least 1 open and 1 closed TCP port Interesting ports on stavro.local (192.168.10.102): (The 1659 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: filtered) PORT STATE SERVICE 443/tcp open https MAC Address: 00:48:54:D0:22:F0 (Unknown) Device type: general purpose Running: Linux 2.4.X OS details: Linux 2.4.19 - 2.4.20 Uptime 8.791 days (since Tue Oct 26 02:26:30 2004) Nmap run completed -- 256 IP addresses (4 hosts up) scanned in 49.590 seconds Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
