Vulnerability scanning has always played a vital part to strengthen the security of the server at which your useful sites are hosted. It can also be used to scan the security of the computer which is connected to the internet. It basically scans the open ports and then checks for the vulnerabilities present in the services running on those ports.It is always useful for a server admin or else of any system to be aware of the weak points of the server security so that he may make it a hack proof system.
