	A vulnerability scanner reports that the HTTPd proxy allows the CONNECT method, potentially exposing internal hosts
		The vulnerability scanner reports this as a successful CONNECT (which it is) and claims that it may be possible to exploit this to connect to internal hosts.
		This is a false positive reported by the vulnerability scanner because the firewall is behaving in a manner that the vulnerability scanner does not expect.
		To verify that this is the case, filter the logfile on the firewall for the time that the vulnerability scan was run and the phrase "service unavailable." The log messages should indicate that the HTTPd proxy returned the 503 Service Unavailable message code when the vulnerability scanner attempted the CONNECT method to port 8080/TCP.

		The goal of a vulnerability assessment system is to identify devices on your network that are open to known vulnerabilities.
		A compromise in one of the assets would throw open the entire network to unauthorized access, and without a vulnerability assessment software it would be too late to react to the growing menace.
		It is a centralized, non-intrusive vulnerability scanner that helps you scan for vulnerabilities across heterogeneous network infrastructures comprising of switches, routers and operating systems such as Windows, Linux.

	Vulnerability scanner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A vulnerability scanner is a type of computer program specifically designed to search a given target (piece of software, computer, network, etc.) for weaknesses.
		The scanner systematically engages the target in an attempt to assess where the target is vulnerable to "attack".
		The program can be used either prophylactically (to find holes and plug them before they are exploited) or maliciously (to find holes and exploit them).

		Nessus Security Scanner's architecture is a little different from the other scanners we tested, as it uses a client/server model.
		On the reporting front, Nessus Security Scanner tends to fall a little short, and the GUI could be a little better organized.
		For example, all found vulnerabilities in the GUI are indexed by port and system, which is a real pain in the butt when you're delegating remediation efforts.

	SecureLogix Announces Free Modem Vulnerability Scanner
		Scanners only identify a small subset of the total number of modems inside an enterprise, and their static, "snapshot-in-time" findings are only relevant for a very brief period.
		The disparity is due largely to the fact that modem scanners only detect modems that are connected and set to auto-answer, but are not in use for dial-up connectivity at the time of the scan.
		These live modem connections are invisible to scanners, but not to voice firewalls that can detect all modems as soon as they become active on the network.
