vulnerability-scanning

I am trying to find out if there is any application or service in UNIX that will - 1. Monitor network interfaces for bandwidth usage 2. When network flaps occur send out a e-mail. 3. When duplicate mac-addresses or loop occurs in network - send out alerts. 4. Do a network vulnerability scan and be able to detect utorrent application on our network. Need to know which linux distribution will be best to support that specific application Thanks

Is my dns server being attacked? And what should I do about it?
