I'm think of using a vulnerability scanner, e.g. ISS, CyberCop, SATA or a homemade, to automate part of my security auditing of the boxes in service. However, how should I check for denial-of-service type of vulnerabilities, such as Land or Teardrop without crashing boxes and disrupting the service? I guess a simple thing to do is to check the OS version. However, I hope someone can suggest something more reliable.
