Saint 6.5 is here with a bunch of new features

SAINT, or the Security Administrator’s Integrated Network Tool, uncovers areas of weakness and recommends fixes. With SAINT® vulnerability assessment tool, you can:

  • Detect and fix possible weaknesses in your network’s security before they can be exploited by intruders.
  • Anticipate and prevent common system vulnerabilities.
  • Demonstrate compliance with current government regulations such as FISMA, Sarbanes Oxley, GLBA, HIPAA, and COPPA

New features in version 6.5:

  • PCI compliance reports : See at a glance whether your network is compliant with PCI Security Standards
  • Local exploits : Test your systems for privilege elevation vulnerabilities following a successful remote exploit
  • Exploit tunneling : Run penetration tests from an exploited target to bypass firewall rules
  • Custom report introduction : Put your own text in the Introduction section of custom SAINTwriter reports
  • Password dictionaries: Test password strength using default dictionaries, or create and modify custom dictionaries, all from an easy-to-use interface
  • E-mail templates for client exploits : Prompt users to test their workstations for client vulnerabilities using attractive, convincing e-mail messages
  • CVSS Base Score reporting : Better assessment of vulnerability severity in custom SAINTwriter reports using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System
  • Web Script parameter generic vulnerabilities : SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in web script parameters gathered from web forms
