IDS: IPv6 capable Security Scanner

IPv6 capable Security Scanner

Hi list,

I'm looking for a scanning tool that is capable of scanning IPv6
addresses for vulnerabilities. I briefly googled "IPv6 Security
Scanner" and also checked out nessus.org to see if they had any
documentation as to whether they supported vulnerability scanning for
IPv6 devices, but didn't find anything other than a few IPv6 port
scanners. I don't want tools that are just port scanners. I know nmap
now supports IPv6, but I'm looking for something a little deeper than
port scanning.

I probably need a tool that can be triggered from command line also.

Preferably the tool would run on Linux or Solaris... I could probably
make windows work if I had to, but I'd rather not.

I'm implementing NFR at a client where we'll use the product to
passively detect new IPv6 rogues as soon as they come on the network and
then automatically trigger an active vulnerability scan. I will
probably use nmap with it's "advanced version detection system", for
proof-of-concept, but I'd like to know if there are other options available.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks,

dave
