I agree. >Porting Nessusd on Win32 is possible, right. But... >1. Maintaining both version (Unix & Win) would be a pain in the back. >2. The mailing list throughput would be multiplied by ten. Can we cope > with that? I agree with that as well. The involved developers who are major contributors would have to commit to it as much as they do the Linux version or it likely won't be maintained well enough for anyone to want to use it. >3. This would make Nessus even more popular among script kiddies. Security by obscurity, eh? Not really sure how much difference this would make. Maybe some. I'm not sure I'd agree that this is a real good reason to not do it. One of the goals of many, many Linux users is to make it compete, popularity-wise with Windows. The scenario behind the above reason would seem to conflict with this goal of Linux users. >And I guess that the next question would be "I cannot install Cygwin, >when is a Win32 native version scheduled?".
