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.

Hi-
I love the answer you gave the person bringing up one of those pesky
license questions. Damn people who want to follow the rules! I would
also question the line in the license. Does this really mean you can't
use the Debian packages? I doubt it, but it should be clarified. How
about the CPAN modules that let you run Nessus plug ins from perl
programs?
Personally, I think the license for Nessus is fine. But there should
always be room for a serious conversation without having answers like
your thrown at people.
