hi there: I'm engaged in design a Remote Vulnerability Scanner. We have done a non-preemptive multithread engine and written almost 2000 vulnerability plugins. Each one of plugins according to one CVE ID. After we done these work, we get confused and don't know what to do. first, although Microsoft release several security issue every month, most of them are local. What our Remote Vulnerability Scanner could do is just login in remote Windows host via SMB protocol and do Registry of file version check. These could be done on some Windows with SMB username/password provided. But Windows XP with sp2 enhance the security configuration and block these checking way. So we can not do local check on Windows XP sp2 except ask customers to do a lot of complex configuration. Eeye scanner could not do remote local check too. So I am consider what can Remote Vulnerability Scanner do? Will this thing disappear in the future?
