Abstract

In this paper, the design of hybrid network discovery module is introduced. As hybrid approach, active and passive network discovery techniques are used. Passive network discovery module, especially, is designed to detect desktop applications and ActiveX controls installed on client computers as well as operating system and services on servers. This module can help security administrators identify organization's IT asset and proactively handle vulnerability information.
