I know they read this list so won't/can't say anything bad. I personally love it! A couple of years or so ago I needed a tool that would perform vulnerability analysis from an internal perspective and evaluated a few, ISS, Cybercop, Nessus, NMAP. I find it a lot quicker than the others and it is regularly updated. Only concern I had was the price. Another good tool that I have been looking at recently is Stat Scanner by Harris Security. It may also be worth a look. One thing I don't like about these commercial tools, is the licensing restrictions, i.e. You have to buy netblocks worth of IP addresses, and this proves very difficult in some of today's more complicated segmented networks. It really depends on what you need it for.. -----Original Message----- From: Al Cook [mailto:cookas () msn com] Sent: 10 February 2004 17:12 To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Retina Hi, what's the general opinion of Retina as a Commercial Vulnerability Scanner?
