    Chip Andrews of SQL Server Security fame has completed SQLRecon v1.0,
    the successor to SQLPing2, which aggregates multiple SQL Server
    discovery methods into a single, easy-to-use tool.

    And now for the good news! SQLRecon v1.0 has been released to the public
    as a free tool.

    SQLRecon performs both active and passive scans of your network in order
    to identify all of the SQL Server/MSDE installations in your enterprise.

    Due to the proliferation of personal firewalls, inconsistent network
    library configurations, and multiple-instance support, SQL Server
    installations are becoming increasingly difficult to discover, assess,
    and maintain. SQLRecon is designed to remedy this problem by combining
    all known means of SQL Server/MSDE discovery into a single tool which
    can be used to ferret-out servers you never knew existed on your network
    so you can properly secure them.

    FEATURES

    * Multi-threaded scanning engine
    * 6 Active scanning techniques
    * 2 Stealth scanning techniques
    * IP Range scanning
    * IP List scanning
    * Export results as XML or text file
    * Export IP list for use in future scans (i.e. Passive to Active)
    * ICMP check to increase scan speed
    * Debug mode to allow for greater scan visibility
    * Allows alternate credentials
    * Custom source port for UDP packets for firewall evasion

    NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
    Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
