Retina Vulnerability Assessment Scanner is a vulnerability scanner created by eEye Digital Security that remotely scans a network for security vulnerabilities and assigns a level of threat to those discovered. It is only intended for corporate or government use. Purchase or evaluation of this product requires a corporate email address and is not intended for use on home or student networks.[1]
Some issues when scanning to keep an eye out for:
- Make sure that Retina gets good "Registry" key access. If a message stating, "Registry access not granted" appears, this means that you are not getting a thorough scan.
- Always have the machine that Retina is scanning on in the domain
- Use only "Domain Admin" credentials to scan for a successful scan
- At least 95% of machines should be successfully scanned in order to get good results
