System identification for vulnerability assessmentAdded by Papergrl
Description:
Identifying systems is an especially difficult task in large corporate, educational or public networks. These networks usually have distributed asset management and technical support functions. As wired network access had become commonplace and wireless network access grows in popularity, it becomes more and more difficult to keep an up to date listing of the systems that comprise your network. Keeping tabs on legitimate connections to the network becomes increasingly difficult in large networks with decentralized inventory and asset management and varying levels of support. Manual asset and inventory systems usually have little detail about network connectivity or software. Even in organizations that have formal centralized inventories, both operating systems and network connectivity details are either not part of the data available or simply not populated.
