Saint Scanner + Exploit

We have been watching Saint a long time. Saint, as many old-timers may recall, began life as an open source version of Satan, one of the first serious open source vulnerability scanners. Eventually the tool was commercialized and it has maintained many of its open source roots. It is a work horse, dependable and, until recently, a bit difficult to deploy unless you were pretty good with Linux. The display was, at best, plain vanilla. All that has changed with the current release.

At between $2,000 and $4,000 for the appliance, plus $25,000 for a class C license, Rapid7 Nexpose is not cheap. But it delivers a lot of bang for the buck and we rate it our Best Buy in the hybrid class. In the scanner-only class, we rate NetClarity’s Branch Auditor 5.0 a Best Buy for its powerful performance, ease of use and excellent documentation. We rate Saint Scanner + Exploit Recommended for its useful combination of scanner and penetration tool. Support is first rate with Core Impact 6.0 from Core Security Technologies. Although the product seems pricey at $25,000, that license covers an unlimited range of IP addresses. We rate Core Impact as Lab Approved for its comprehensive capability in a production environment, performance and ease of use.
