NSAT – Network Security Analysis Tool

Last Updated on November 15, 2023

NSAT is a fast, stable bulk security scanner designed to audit remote network services and check for versions, security problems, gather information about the servers and the machine and much more.

Unlike many other auditing tools, it can collect information about services independently of vulnerabilities, which makes it “timeless”, meaning it doesn’t depend on frequent updates as new vulnerabilities are found.

It’s main advantage is its flexibility and configurability.

Features include:

• Different kinds of wide-ranging scans, keeping stable for days.
• Scanning on multi-user boxes (local stealth and non-priority scanning options).
• Professional-grade penetration testing and comprehensive auditing.
• Easy full-scale archiving of vulnerability and version information for further purposes
• Time-less configuration – as a banner scanner for many known services and protocols.
• Virtual host support, host/network exclusion support.
• Flexibility and configurable scanning.
• Distributed scanning.
