Cheops-ng (cheops next generation) description:
|
|
Cheops-ng is a Network management tool for mapping and
monitoring your network. It has host/network discovery functionality as well
as OS detection of hosts. Cheops-ng has the ability to probe hosts to see
what services they are running. On some services, cheops-ng is actually able
to see what program is running for a service and the version number of that
program. Take a look at the screenshots page for
a detailed look at some of the features of cheops-ng.

Cheops is in a Book:

Differences between cheops-ng and cheops:
|
There have been several people asking me about the differences between this
project and cheops. So here are the
differences:
- In cheops-ng the -ng stands for Next generation
giving rise to a spinoff or newly developed version of cheops
- Cheops is a GUI program whereas cheops-ng has a backend server that is
running all of the time. The GUI for cheops-ng just loggs into the server
to use the server's functions, like OS detection and mapping.
- Cheops-ng's and Cheops' functionality only differ in that cheops-ng
does not have monitoring capabilities yet.
- Last but not least It is being worked on (ie. people are developing it and supporting it,
whereas cheops is not being developed on
nor supported).
It was decided after much debate that cheops needed to be
different than what it was, and that a full makeover needed to be done to
cheops. Mark, the author of cheops, and I started to write cheops-ng since
then Mark has moved on to his big Linux PBX project asterisk.
