Abstract

Vulnerability scanning tools can help secure the computer networks of organisations. Triggered by the release of the Tsunami vulnerability scanner by Google, the authors analysed and compared the commonly used, free-to-use vulnerability scanners. The performance, accuracy and precision of these scanners are quite disparate and vary accordingly to the target systems. The computational, memory and network resources required be these scanners also differ. We present a recent and detailed comparison of such tools that are available for use by organisations with lower resources such as small and medium-sized enterprises.
