I love it when vendors make claims such as this;

"A Hacker's Eye View of Your Network"

and even better;

"We use the same tools hackers bring to bear against your systems.
However, instead of exploiting those vulnerabilities, we compile
vulnerability results with easy to understand explanations and links
to the needed patches and updates, and then deliver the reports to
your desktop on a regular basis. "

So in other words they run NMap and/or Nessus.

Yup... h4x0rs eye view.  ROFL.

Happy New Year!

I have been using both the internal and external vuln. assessment
products from NetChecker.  They use an array of standard tools, along
with some custom code and human analysis.  I like the product, the
price, and the results.

www.netchecker.net is their web site.

I'm looking for a firm to conduct annual 3rd party vulnerability
assesments for a nationwide carrier ISP. If anyone has any references or
stories to share, I'd like to hear about them.
thanks!
