I get the sense that freeware is now lagging the commercial market, in terms
of available features.
As I understand it, Tripwire is more up-to-date than COPS. ISS and Netect
(among others, I'm sure) make "host security" software. There are a number
of commercial port scanners on the market, including ISS, Ballista and others.
See http://www.secnet.com, http://www.iss.net & http://www.netect.com.
I'm sure there are lots of other vendors out there. Hopefully, there is
some robust freeware, as well.
Hope this helps.
