Sunbelt Software recently upgraded its Sunbelt Network Security Inspector (SNSI) to version 1.5, adding Linux system support, IP-based scanning, port and Windows service scanning, vulnerability searching and new configuration and scanning wizards. Platform extensions bring its continually updated database to 3,100 vulnerabilities.

SNSI version 1.5 enables scans by single IP address, range of addresses, or entire subnet. An IP search wizard allows pinging and authentication of the established IP scans. Administrators can scan for open ports and active Windows services on a target machine, discovering which protocols (HTTP, FTP, P2P) may be running on open ports. Running Windows services are identified as "known" or "unknown," based on SNSI's list of services.
