WebSAINT® On-line Vulnerability Scanner – How it Works
WebSAINT® operates through the SAINT corporate Web site using the SAINT® scanning engine. It scans TCP and UDP services on either the customers computer or subnet. When WebSAINT® detects a service that has a history of security concerns, it performs a detailed analysis. The results of the analysis are delivered via secure HTTP and stored in a database for subsequent access through a secure Web browser.
Using SAINTwriter, SAINT's sophisticated reporting tool, WebSAINT® pulls assessment data from its database and generates an HTML page for the customer. Full color charts and tables illustrate the scan results at a glance. Full, Executive, Overview, Detail, and Trend Analysis reports are available.
WebSAINT® operates on any platform supporting a Web browser capable of SSL. (We recommend 128-bit encryption.) Environments using at least Netscape Navigator Version 4.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 are optimum.
To make sure that you don't accidentally cause any problem for anyone else, and to make sure you are aware of the legal ramifications of performing these scans, warnings and disclaimers are posted. Please read them carefully.
