    Hi
    I'm looking for vulnerability scanners that will do their business 
    remotely,
    especially useful for distributed networks with low bandwidth or managed
    services.
    
    I only know of 3:
    Lightning Proxy
    http://www.tenablesecurity.com/proxy.html
    
    Nessus
    http://www.nessus.org/features.html
    
    Retina
    http://www.eeye.com/html/Products/Retina/index.html
    
    Does anyone know of any more, I would suggest that this excludes web based
    scanners like shieldsup etc as they don't resolve the bandwidth issue, was
    the problem with shieldsup (demonstrated at BlackHat Europe 2001) ever
    resolved whereby you could use it to scan anyone you wished??
    
    Anyway the list when completed will appear here, though it's not on the 
    site
    navigation yet.

    Sorry about the amount of posts of late but I have been on vacation and
    therefore have time to read my email.
    
    take care
