Function modules

(Data current as of November 2017)

Network scanner

Designed to check network security by scanning hosts to identify vulnerabilities, including open ports.

The network scanner allows you to determine the type of operating system (OS) of the remote host using TCP/IP stack fingerprints, perform invisible scanning, dynamic calculation of delay time and packet retransmission, parallel scanning, scanning using false hosts, direct RPC scanning, scanning using IP fragmentation, determines inactive hosts using the parallel ping method and the presence of packet filters.

Security scanner

Allows you to search for vulnerabilities in network services offered by operating systems, firewalls, routers and other network components. To search for vulnerabilities, both standard tools for testing and collecting information about the configuration and functioning of the network are used, as well as special tools that emulate the actions of an attacker to penetrate systems connected to the network.

Local Password Audit Tool

It is designed to find and identify passwords containing easily selectable character combinations directly on the workstation. Allows you to select passwords both by brute force and by dictionary enumeration. Both operating systems of the Windows family and various varieties of Linux are supported, including protected ones (MSVS, Linux XP, Astra Linux).

Password Network Audit Tool

Designed for remote search and identification of passwords containing easily selectable character combinations.

System Auditor

Designed to scan the workstation to determine the parameters of installed operating systems, system, communication and peripheral devices, including USB devices. A unique feature of the system auditor is the audit of inserted USB devices for the entire time with information about the date and time of each connection. Information about USB connections is provided in the form of a table with detailed data on the detected USB devices (manufacturer, brand, name, properties and other parameters, including the date and time of each connection).

Network analyzer

It is intended for use by the network administrator in checking and detailed analysis of the correctness of the network software configuration. Allows passive and active interception of network traffic in switched networks using techniques such as ARP-spoofing. Analyzes intercepted information, decodes passwords for popular protocols, for example HTTP, HTTPS (certificate substitution), POP3, SMTP, OSCAR (ICQ), FTP.


Disk Search Tool

It is designed to search for information on keywords on data carriers (hard drives, floppy disks, optical disks). The main purpose is to test the MPS for the operation of the guaranteed information cleaning system.

Scanner-VS Inspector passed inspection control at FSTEC

On October 31, 2017, NPO Echelon announced the conduct of inspection control in the certification system of the FSTEC of Russia.

Inspector Test (2017)

A certified software package including the Scanner-VS security testing system and the Inspector comprehensive inspection tool passed inspection control in the Russian FSTEC certification system.

As part of the inspection control, the functionality of the Inspector's comprehensive inspection facility was expanded.

There is support for software for finding license keys. The user has the opportunity to compare target reports using the added change control functionality, and thanks to the advanced functions of the system auditor, you can now find out the following information:

  • about the processor;
  • about disk devices;
  • about network adapters.

Now the Inspector tool allows you to determine the dates of the first and last USB connection and the fact of connecting phones and other equipment through USB connectors.

Inspection control in the Russian FSTEC certification system

In the summer of 2017, the tool for solving a wide range of tasks for testing and analyzing the security of information systems, as well as monitoring the effectiveness of information protection tools "Scanner-VS" passed inspection control in the certification system of the FSTEC of Russia.

As part of the next product update, Scanner-VS has a single web interface for conducting a comprehensive security analysis. Now all security testing tasks are grouped by key phases of a typical project:

  • search for targets: identification of nodes and network services;
  • vulnerability scanning: identification of vulnerabilities in network services;
  • exploitation: matching passwords and finding suitable exploits.

The results of all security testing tasks performed under the project are stored in the database, which allows you to form a single report on comprehensive security analysis.

"Scanner-VS" has a certificate of the FSTEC of Russia No. 2204, a certificate of the Ministry of Defense of Russia No. 3666, is included in the unified register of Russian programs for electronic computers and databases (register of Russian software).
