MSBlast CLI scanner (unix)?

David-

There is no reliable way to detect if a computer is infected with
blaster without logging into it and looking for the reg key or the
executable.  The backdoors (tftp and 4444) are not permanent.  ISS
X-Force released a great scanner for the vulnerability itself.  It does
two different checks to see if a box is patched, and it will detect the
difference between a machine that has DCOM disabled or if it is patched.
It's available here:

Nanog'ers,

I've seen a couple of the windows-based MSBlast scanners but I'm looking
for a unix tool to simply plug in an IP/netmask and have it scan via the
command line and return the status of the vulnerability (patched,
unaffected, exploited, etc).

Has anyone found or heard of one that runs on *nix or have any other
suggestions?

thanks,
davidu
