Internet Scanner is the fastest, most comprehensive, and most proactive network security scanner available. It configures easily, scans quickly, and produces comprehensive reports. This version of Internet Scanner runs under Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 Workstation.
Internet Scanner investigates and analyzes your network environment for selected security vulnerabilities, simulating the techniques of skilled vulnerability analysts and Network Security Engineers. Depending on the reporting options you select, Internet Scanner gives you information about each detected vulnerability, including its location, detailed description, and suggested corrective actions.
Internet Scanner can be used on all TCP/IP-based networks—networks connected to the Internet, in addition to stand-alone networks and machines.
Internet Scanner should be run periodically. Test the security of network devices and the integrity of the network on a regular basis to detect newly introduced weaknesses and changes in the network. A potential threat from internal sources means that your network should be secure from both internal and external dangers.
How do I use Internet Scanner?
Using Internet Scanner on a day-to-day basis involves:
Running scans of the network. You can run scans from the user interface or from the command line. You can also schedule the scan to run unattended.
Analyzing the results. You can analyze the results of scans by creating and examining a variety of reports generated by Internet Scanner or your custom applications.
