just wondered if there are any alternatives to nessus since I'm not that
happy with the plugin license - to express it charily. It reads: "You
agree to use the Plugins only in conjunction with Nessus or NeWT
vulnerability scanner programs obtained __directly__ from www.nessus.org
or www.tenablesecurity.com and registered with Tenable ('Registered
Scanners')." For my opinion this implies, that I'm not allowed to use my
Debian packages retrieved from the Debian servers with these plugins?!
Sure. Give up on Linux and pay for Windows. Then pay a great deal more for
a tool from a company like ISS. Or even get a Windows license for Nessus
from Tennable.
If you don't like the license you have the liberty to pay a serious amount
of money and get a license that is even less liberal.
