Host Vulnerability Scanners

Policy Compliance Monitor/Managers
Look at the hosts Operating System and applications for vulnerabilities that could be exploited and checks them against the System Security Policy for non-compliance. These products work in contrast from the Network Vulnerability Scanners by analysing the host from a privileged user account.  Many Network Vulnerability Scanners have the ability to include privileged account to also perform such scans.  A Policy Compliance Monitor advises about what vulnerabilities exist. A Policy Compliance Manager not only advises about the vulnerabilities that exist but will also fix them.  Most require agents to be installed on the target host, though there are some that don't

Cerberus' Internet Scanner

Win NT/2000

Cerberus Security Team

Broken Link 16 Sep 04 http://www.cerberus-infosec.co.uk/cis.shtml

Takes a modular approach. Each scan module is implemented as a DLL so when an update to a particular module occurs the user only needs to download the updated DLL. Added to this the user can choose which modules they want to run. 
Comprehensive - pushing around 300 checks. As far as scanning web servers goes CIS is one of the best. When compared against the market leading scanners CIS usually finds more security issues. 
Hidden Command line capability - run scans in the background. This means that if a user wants to scan a large number of hosts they can implement this in a batch file and once a scan has started control is returned to the command prompt so the next and subsequent scans can start immediatley. C:\CIS\>cis host 
Scan modules include WWW, SQL, ftp, various NT checks, SMTP, POP3, DNS, finger and more 
Backed by one of the World's best security teams, the CST (Cerberus Security Team). 
Reports generated are HTML based with hyper-text links to more information 
Easy to use Graphical User Interface 
Multi-threaded so scan time is minimized.

into 240 categories. Our engine will also analyse any executables for thousands of hacking tools and threats not recognised by existing methods even those inside  compressed and encrypted files reporting back if they contain capabilities which could be misused.  An agent is deployed on each PC around the network, and any new threats which are detected are reported back to the central event console immediately they are found. If a new malicious/suspect file is discovered the central console can notify outlying agents to check for them. There is also a plug-in for MimeSweeper,  which allows any incoming threats to be detected, even if they are wrapped, compressed.

NT -   NT host is agentless   

Forix Business Solutions

Broken Link 16 Sep 04 http://www.forixnt.com/

ForixNT is a flexible, extensible toolkit that NT administrators can use to automate policy-based security management in a way that fits their infrastructure. NT administrators can use ForixNT to collect configuration information from NT systems across the enterprise.

  • Centralized. NT administrators can run ForixNT from a single, central location. However, due to the design of ForixNT, NT admins are not limited in any way...ForixNT can be run in a distributed fashion, just as easily.

  • Agentless. No software of any kind needs to be loaded on the systems being examined by ForixNT. NT administrators can retrieve information, and with the updated ForixNT, modify that information, from a single, central location.

  • Flexible. Due to ForixNT's modular design, driver scripts can be configured to perform specific scans without having to perform all scans. For example, an NT administrator can run complete scans on all machines, and then get the permissions (ACLs) on application files from specific servers.

  • Easily updated. ForixNT keeps lists of objects it queries (Registry keys for ACLs and values, files and directories for ACLs, etc) in flat files. That way, an NT administrator can quickly and easily update or modify the lists to suit her needs.

  • Unlimited.  When you purchase ForixNT, there is no limit on the number of systems that can be scanned or the number of times systems can be scanned.

System Scanner™ searches deep into your online operation to provide a host-based security assessment that targets security weaknesses undetectable through network scanning. While the Internet Scanner determines vulnerabilities by scanning devices at the network level, System Scanner detects internal vulnerabilities at the system level through a wide variety of cross platform agents that reside on each system. These agents allow a security policy to be implemented, managed, and controlled across an entire enterprise from a centralized point. System Scanner prioritizes security risk based on relative severity, and having secured the system, it locks down the configuration with a digital fingerprint - making it easier to detect unauthorized tampering. System Scanner agents are available for both Windows NT and many UNIX platforms.

tiger is a set of scripts that scan a Un*x system looking for security problems, in the same fashion as Dan Farmer's COPS. 'tiger' was originally developed to provide a check of UNIX systems on the A&M campus that want to be accessed from off campus (clearance through the packet filter). As such, we needed something that *anyone* could run if they could figure out how to get it down to their machine.
Tiger Analytical Research Assistant (TARA) is an upgrade to the TAMU 'tiger' program. Since 'tiger' has not been updated since 1994, there were numerous changes made to the 'systems' directories. Output was streamlined to provide a more readable report file. Also, minor bugs in the 'scripts' directory were corrected.
