Webtrends has one here that can be downloaded. You may also find this site useful.

Are you talking about cgi-scripts or about your web server or both?

Nessus is the leading unix based security scanner. Everything from CGI, to webserver, to OS holes will be detected by it.

If its a Linux box I would start in the /etc/services file and comment out anything you do not need.
