| samuel_trassare@13398 | 2 auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks |
| samuel_trassare@13398 | 3 such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring |

| samuel_trassare@13398 | 5 hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) |
| samuel_trassare@13398 | 6 those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are |
| samuel_trassare@13398 | 7 running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other |
