    All

    Nessus is great as mentioned by Wes, which brings me to this excellent
    download tool call Knoppix which has everything you need for VA's,some, Pen
    Test utilities and network monitoring. It runs on a bootable CD or HD
    install.

    Cheers

    Martin

    Eric,

    Try nessus, it's open source, has better vulnerability detection than most
    tools out there that are commercial, plus I've found that it tends to be
    more accurate when it comes to vulnerabilities, though even with a scanner
    the process of validation doesn't stop with printing the report. ;-)

    However, if you are looking for an all around vulnerability detection
    software for web, db etc. You should look at things like appscan, or shadow
    security scanner, etc. There are quite a few out there, to each his own is
    my stand point, what one person likes someone else hates, but it all
    requires validating the findings, typically via manual methods (e.g. testing
    an exploit via manual steps or running some public exploit).

    -Wes

    Has anyone on this list had a chance to use this product.

    I'm interested in getting a Vulnerability scanner that is the defacto of the
    Industry.

    Any info would be great.
