GFI LANguard :- A commercial network security
scanner for Windows
GFI LANguard scans IP networks to detect what machines are running.
Then it tries to discern the host OS and what applications are
running. I also tries to collect Windows machine's service pack
level, missing security patches, wireless access points, USB
devices, open shares, open ports, services/applications active
on the computer, key registry entries, weak passwords, users
and groups, and more. Scan results are saved to an HTML report,
which can be customized/queried. It also includes a patch manager
which detects and installs missing patches.
