if you are running a web server you may wish to try WHISKER which is a little more up-to-date.. Cheers Nix At 01:38 AM 20/09/2000, you wrote:
Hi Nick,
I initially tried SAINT, but the main problem with SAINT is that it is not sufficiently informative. It finds no vulnerabilities on my system (considering that I took some effort to secure it, that is somewhat reassuring), even with the heaviest scan. The only information it reports to me is exactly the output from nmap, which, if you'll notice, is invoked by SAINT during the scan. Therefore it is much faster and simpler for me simply to use nmap, which provides a wide array of scanning possibilities, and is more educational (though the paper that was linked to by Bacano didn't answer my earlier question, it and the nmap manpage are still extremely informative). It is light and fast. It's really exactly what I want for the purpose, and I don't recall having suggested otherwise.
Thanks to Nick and all who answered.

If you want to scan yourself for possible weakness take a look at saint.

Yes, but it only fits two of each, I'm afraid.
Best,
