The Network Security Analysis Tool is a reliable and rapid security scanner built to inspect remote network services in bulk.
One of the standout features of NSAT is its extensive manpage, which provides users with all the information they need to get started with the software. This documentation is included with the software distribution and can be accessed easily by typing 'man doc/nsat.8' from the directory after installation. We recommend at least reading up on the -v (scan verbosity) option and editing the configuration file to optimize your experience.
If you're interested in distributed scanning, you'll be pleased to know that NSAT now includes preliminary support for this feature in the latest version. The manpage includes detailed instructions on how to perform distributed scans, although note that this implementation is still in the proof-of-concept stage and comes with no guarantees for security, reliability, or performance.
To keep your software up to date, we recommend regularly checking for updated vulnerability lists, configuration files, and more at: [insert URL here]. Currently, these lists include information on vulnerabilities in nsat.cgi (CGI scripts), nsat.conf (configuration), and src/mod/snmp.h (SNMP community names).
Overall, NSAT is an incredibly useful tool for anyone looking to bolster their network security. Its range of features and functionalities, paired with reliable performance and stability, make it an excellent choice for individuals and organizations of all sizes.
