Greetings,

Earlier this month, Tyler Reguly released some comparison test findings
for Nmap, Unicornscan, and Portbunny
(http://www.computerdefense.org/?p=443). Unfortunately, these tests
weren't entirely accurate or indicative of what a security tester would
see in the field.

I have spent some evening hours conducting my own tests and have
completed three rounds of testing.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

To summarize tests so far:
Round 1 - Scanner on same switch as target, no filters - nmap winner
(close finish)

Round 2 - Scanner on same switch as target, iptables filter - portbunny
winner (close finish)

Round 3 - Scanner on different network, multiple targets, multiple
platforms, no filters - unicornscan clear winner.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I plan on completing at least 1 or 2 more rounds over the next few
weeks.
