A vulnerability scanner has the potential for serious disruption of a control network and should not be used on a live system. This tool actively probes the network for vulnerabilities by sending various types of traffic and attempting to exploit potential weaknesses. This activity can lead to network congestion, unintentional triggering of security defenses, and possible crashing of networked devices, making it unsuitable for use on live systems.
