TechRepublic
members recommend GFI LANguard N.S.S. -
GFI
LANguard N.S.S. featured in a shortlist of nine products
selected by TechRepublic members as the definitive tools
for network auto discovery. "GFI LANguard Network Security
Scanner provides information, such as missing security
patches, open shares, open ports, key registry entries,
and weak passwords. Scan results are outputted to an HTML
report, which can be customized and queried," wrote
journalist Beth Blakely before citing a member comment:
“It doesn't do anything fancy like network drawings, but
it will quickly tell you what devices are out there. One
feature will tell you what security holes exist on which
machines and which Microsoft article number applies. You
can even push down fixes/updates to individual machines or
[to] your entire network at once.”

Highly recommended
- In his PC Magazine opinion column, Bill Machrone
wrote: "I especially recommend GFI LANguard Network
Security Scanner. Whether you're running a single PC or a
sizable network, I can almost guarantee that LANguard will
tell you something you didn't know about your system's
security. Unless you subscribe to a high-dollar security
analysis service, this one's essential."

"Utterly
essential" - In a review
of security software, ExtremeTech described GFI LANguard
Network Security Scanner as "the utterly essential program
to help you secure your home or business LAN". "I thought
my home LAN was pretty tight until I ran GFI LANguard,"
wrote reviewer Bill Machrone. "Among the XP, Win2K, Me,
and 98SE systems running on my home LAN, I found lots of
things to tighten. You probably will, too. It's hard to
believe that software of this caliber is free, but it's
there to entice you to do business with GFI, which offers
advanced security products for LANs, servers, and email.
The GFI LANguard site has a wealth of security information
in the form of manuals and white papers."
