1. A method for assigning a vulnerability parameter to a device on a network, comprising:

  • passively determining, responsive to a passively read packet, a vulnerability parameter for an operating system or service;

    storing, responsive to the vulnerability parameter being passively determined, the vulnerability parameter in a host map associated with a network device;

    modifying the vulnerability parameter which was passively determined; and

    storing the modified vulnerability parameter in the host map, whereinthe vulnerability parameter is invalid or valid,when the vulnerability is invalid and a pre-defined change in the operating system or service occurs on the network device, a new vulnerability lookup is performed for the changed operating system or service and the vulnerability parameter is remapped from invalid to valid based on the new vulnerability lookup for the changed operating system or service.
