While MaxPatrol operates within Microsoft Windows for ease of use, its testing engine can test for possible vulnerabilities in any software or hardware platform: from Windows workstations to Cisco networks Including:

	Unix
	Linux
	Solaris
	Novell
	AS400
	os/390
	Unisys
	Tandem
	Status

By integrating with virtually any platform MaxPatrol is the most flexible Security Scanner Available.

MaxPatrols Protection Analyzer integrates a comprehensive suite of testing engines designed to test the full security posture of a host, not just operating system vulnerabilities. The Protection Analyzer seamlessly integrates with Maxpatrol and allows the host to be tested at different levels using smart attack matrixes. Unlike other information-security scanners that specialize in narrow solutions, MaxPatrol provides universal protection at all layers with unparalleled accuracy and precision.

Maxpatrol Core Features

Full Identification of Service Regardless of Port Configuration

Maxpatrol uses Intelligent Scanning to determine complex server configuration Permits vulnerability testing for servers with complex, non-standard configurations, where port numbers are assigned to services in arbitrary combinations, in other words Maxpatrol does not assume Port 21 is a FTP service or that and FTP service cannot be listening to other ports.

Web-server and Web Application structure analysis

Maxpatrol analyzes the structure of Web Applications to determine weaknesses and potential vulnerabilities in both the Web Server Configuration and the Web Application.

Heuristic method for detecting types and names of services, independent of responses to standard queries

Maxpatrol will identify a server, regardless of whether the server uses standard responses, to accurately test for vulnerabilities.

Maxpatrol uses intelligent searching to detect vulnerabilities in non-standard web-server scripts

Maxpatrol inspects all scripts installed on server for vulnerabilities allowing unauthorized file access, data access or manipulation or possible termination of service using intelligent algorithms.

Intelligent recognition of vulnerabilities in known web-server scripts

Accurately detects vulnerabilities in scripts where server configuration generates false responses not compliant with HTTP protocol

Hidden-directory search for FTP servers

Maxpatrol will search for hidden directories or other types of hidden access in FTP servers.

Full identification and testing of RPC services in Windows and *nix

Maxpatrol can locate, identify and detect RPC all RPC Services as well as test for vulnerabilities.

Intelligent precision algorithms to minimize false detection

Specialized inspection methods combined with Maxpatrols intelligent scanning engine decrease probability of false vulnerability detection

Daily updates of new vulnerabilities and Tests

Maxpatrols database is maintained by expert security professionals and programmers who are constantly searching for vulnerabilities, both known and unknown, designing new tests to detect those vulnerabilities and adding them to the Maxpatrol database. The database is updated daily using the latest secure transmission protocols. Maxpatrols engine and core are also updated without the need to restart the system

Functionality and Interface

MaxPatrol's functional capabilities are enterprise class without being over burdensome to users. The guiding principal behind the design and functionality of Maxpatrol was simple “build the most reliable, accurate and dependable security auditing tool, and make it functional for the user”, we think we have accomplished this.

	Maxpatrol has an exceptional user-friendly multi-window graphic interface that is as easy to navigate as it is elegant.
	Use of "Job" and "profile" organizational concepts make Maxpatrol exceptionally effective in security-monitoring and management
	Flexible Job scheduler facilitates automation of all tasks and takes a simple set it and forget it approach to scheduling scans and reporting results
	Maxpatrol allows for the scanning of multiple hosts limited only by the bandwidth available
	Full, concise and easy to understand logs of all scans are maintained, allowing easy comparisons of results.
	Maxpatrols results can be generated into simple management reports or complete technical reports. The reporting engine provides details of all vulnerabilities as well as references and suggested fixes.
	Program documentation includes help files and a tutorial
	Functions with Windows 95/98/Millenium/NT/2000/XP/.NET
