    Why not make that scanner public?

    Hook us up.

    I could not understand why the 05039 scanner is large to 3M.
    my friends has written a 05039 scanner which is 20k size .....

    A quick side note not to confuse MBSA or Shavlik with how Retina or
    others do it. Retina is able to detect the patch as missing, as Shavlik
    and MBSA do, (registry/file, which requires admin creds) but we also are
    able to remotely identify a vulnerable system without requiring
    authenticated credentials. That obviously makes it easier to find
    vulnerable systems on a Class B network because really who has
    credentials for a whole Class B and even if you miraculously did then
    what about all the systems you don't know about that are unmanaged and
    you definitely don't have access too. This is just one reason why stuff
    like MBSA is great for very small shops but is really unreasonable for
    any real network. Shavlik and others obviously are really meant more for
    patching, which means systems you know, so while it's a deficiency that
    they cant truly give you a view of vulnerability within your Class B
    network it's a limitation that is probably something they are not
    meaning to address in the first place, again because they do patch
    management instead of vulnerability management.

    I dunno if you've solved this or not, but the tenable ones are usually
    just templates that look for different hotfixes.

    The source for this particular one is on their website at:

    http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=viewsrc&id=19402

    and you can see what it looks for.

    Assuming you have admin access to this class B network you could use the
    nessus plugin, or script something to mount the admin share and look for
    the hotfix.

    Alternatively http://hfnetchk.shavlik.com/ can also check for hotfixes
    remotely again assuming you have admin access.

    Jeff.
