Abstract :
This paper introduces a new domain-oriented distributed vulnerability scanning mechanism based on the studies of other vulnerability scanning systems, which have difficulties on dealing with network crossing, interceptor crossing and bottleneck effect, etc. After giving some description about domain-oriented distributed architecture, this paper introduces a SOA-like service providing mode. Following introduction leads to a new hierarchical strategy scheduling model that solves the problems of distributed scheduling management. A comparing experiment on the new scanning prototype and a Centralized scanner called Nessus is given at the end of this paper. At last, it comes to the conclusion that this new domain-oriented distributed vulnerability scanning mechanism has great performance on timing and accuracy.
