Vulnerability depicts the weakness in the system and it leads to risk in the extended form. Network security professionals targets to work on vulnerabilities of the network for securing information from intruder attacks. The network administrators of any organization are required to continuously take action against the vulnerabilities in the network. There is a requirement of detecting these vulnerabilities and many tools can fulfil this task. In this research paper, we presented a detailed comparative analysis of open-source vulnerability tools available in the market. This experimental study also presents a case study of campus area network scanning using the open-source innovative tool Zenmap. The results prove that the remote devices present in network infrastructure can be scanned using Zenmap without any special privilege and can provide detailed insights into the network to administrators so that they can form policies in the campus area network for threat assessment.
