Title: Various free vuln.scans in one
Post by: polonus on June 09, 2005, 09:21:31 PM

Hello my forum friends,

Sometimes it is handy to have all sort of vulnerability scans in one place. Here I listed them:

Address for a free security scan

And yet another free scan:

And yet another free scan:

And a free vulnerability scan:

And a free popup-test scan:

And a free Dutch security advice, translate using Babelfish:

Well go there and enjoy, and know how you can get safer.

Kindest regards,

polonus

Security Space do a comprehensive vulnerability check for IT professionals.

They seem to scan for every vulnerability known to man. For this service you have to pay (big time, about $200 a month I think.)

But home users can sign up for a basic free scan

https://secure1.securityspace.com/sspace/index.html

and also take individual vulnerability tests for free. The tests cover all OS's, the latest being for Redhat, FreeBSD, Mandrake and Ubuntu.

Another site is HackerWhacker:

http://www.hackerwhacker.com/freetools.php

(Seems to be having problems with site certification at the moment: has always been legit in the past.)

And don't forget PCFlank:
