What is a vulnerability scanner?
A vulnerability scanner is a computer program designed to assess computers, networks and applications for known weaknesses such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection and more.
A vulnerability scanner uses a database that contains all of the information required to check a system for security holes. The scanner will try to exploit each vulnerability that is discovered and produce a report.
