I'm think of using a vulnerability scanner, e.g. ISS, CyberCop, SATA or a homemade,
to automate part of my security auditing of the boxes in service.
However, how should I check for denial-of-service type of vulnerabilities,
such as Land or Teardrop without crashing boxes and disrupting the service?

I guess a simple thing to do is to check the OS version.  However, I hope
someone can suggest something more reliable.
