What is the SecureScout (Windows Edition) Engine?
The Engine is the core technology of SecureScout (Windows Edition). It plays what we call ‘test cases’; The SecureScout (Windows Edition) version of a hacker attack script. The Engine is able to inject packets onto the network, receive answers from remote systems, check if they are still running, determine whether security policies are appropriate, and detect vulnerabilities. The efficient SecureScout (Windows Edition) Engine uses modern programming techniques such as multi-threading to make the best use of the computing power, and a dedicated network driver to inject packets at a very high rate on the network. Test cases are implemented in DLLs. Other solutions have interpreted scripts that usually prove slower and more CPU intensive.
