I don't understand why people are afraid of the Open-Source movement and
continue
paying for expensive propriertary softwares have hidden bugs in there.
If you are looking for
Security Assessment tools, try nessus. This is an excellent piece of
software. I've run it
on both Linux and BSD platforms (sorry I've not much of windows) and this
software just
blows my mind. It is also FREE. Below is a link that compares security
scanners from
ISS, Network Associates, Axent and Nessus. Guess who the winner is:
NESSUS.
Come join the Open-Source movement.
