Hi
I'm looking for vulnerability scanners that will do their business 
remotely,
especially useful for distributed networks with low bandwidth or managed
services.

I only know of 3:
Lightning Proxy
http://www.tenablesecurity.com/proxy.html

Nessus
http://www.nessus.org/features.html

Retina
http://www.eeye.com/html/Products/Retina/index.html

Does anyone know of any more, I would suggest that this excludes web based
scanners like shieldsup etc as they don't resolve the bandwidth issue, was
the problem with shieldsup (demonstrated at BlackHat Europe 2001) ever
resolved whereby you could use it to scan anyone you wished??

Anyway the list when completed will appear here, though it's not on the 
site
navigation yet.

Sorry about the amount of posts of late but I have been on vacation and
therefore have time to read my email.

take care
