NSCA and MS Windows Confusion

[Anthony Montibello]

NC_Net can be configured to send passive checks to a NSCA server using
Xor encryption.  the send_NSCA is implemented inside of NC_Net.

NC_Net does require Dot Net Framework 1.1 and this in turn uses WMI
but it is capable of running most check types, CPU,Memory, Performance
counters, WMI Query, Event Log, Service and Processes, Disk,...

Good Luck
Tony
