 * For example: wpscan org is linux based wordpress vul. scanner. I’m looking for
   windows based software to scan my wp.

 * Why not just install a plugin and scan using that from the WP dashboard:

 * because plugin based ones doesnt provide decent scan.

 * Is your site hosted on a Windows server? Do you self-host using a Windows machine?
   If not (most hosts use Linux-based servers) then I disagree as Windows and Linux
   use totally different programming languages. Try: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninjascanner/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninjascanner/)(
   it’s an excellent vulnerability scanner). Or apply/tighten up the ModSec rules
   applied to your account.
