Don't underestimate Superscan - its a nice Windoze-based port scanner with
banner grabbing. For when you have a mouse handy!

Its a good 2nd opinion for nmap and it does banner-grabbing too

Cheers

Hello,

I would be interested in knowing how penetration testers rate various
port scanners and packet sniffers?

What would be the top five tools you would recommend?

Thanks for any input,
Sam
