Alternatives to Nessus
Posted by jond on Mar 20
Has anyone found any good alternatives to Nessus?
I’ve played around with OpenVAS with their backtrack build, but either
it’s not pulling all the plugins, or it’s just not as accurate as
Nessus.
Anyone have different experiences with OpenVAS, or know of anything
else I might look at?
Thanks…

If money is not an issue (e.g. you are not limited to free solutions),
you can use a scanning provider, such as Qualys

I haven’t seen anyone mention SARA for this yet. It’s open source, updated on a reasonable schedule, seems to find MOST of the same vulnerabilities that Nessus does and has a nice report format. I find it a little more complicated to configure and use, but not bad. Not to say it’s better than…
