Dear all, I'm testing a tool called pbnj. It performs scans with nmap and store the information in a database that is used for comparing previous scans. It's not a tool for monitoring like Nagios (which we'll already have). We are not going to coutinously run this script (like every 5 minutes) but maybe once a day or week. They aim is to to keep a baseline of the services that SHOULD BE open in our servers in a database and compare it to the scan we perform from time to time. A report should tell us two things: - If a new port has been open. That way we can be sure that no new ports are open without being warned. - If a port that should be open is closed. Before reinventing the wheel, I'd like to know if there is any tool like this with better functionality (it's pretty basic, a perl script, the reports and the routine scans have to be configured manually). As I said, essentially performs a scan (with nmap) over a range of IPs and stores the results in a database. Then it tells you if a port has changed its state (from up to down or viceversa - however I'm digging the code to add a "new" state too). Any other tool similar to this one with better capabilities?
Have a look at the tools on here http://www.unspecific.com/2008/12 There is a nmap-diff that will compare two sets of nmap scans. It hasn't been updated for a while same as the one you mention is just a perl script but may suit your purposes. The nmap-wrapper tools also helps if you are scanning large networks.
