NetBrute
A suite of three security applications that allows Webmasters and system administrators to audit a site for security vulnerabilities. NetBrute scans a range of IP addresses for shared resources that have been shared via Microsoft File and Printer Sharing to see what types of resources are shared on a network and to warn the computer users if any unsecured resources are displayed. PortScan scans for listening TCP ports, allowing system administrators to determine what types of services are running on computers under their care. WebBrute attempts a brute-force user ID and password attack on an HTTP authenticated Web site that is using "Basic Authentication," so a Webmaster can verify that no security-compromising user ID and password combinations are in use on a site.
