In which case there is NO need for Nessus. If one is not part of the team
involved with servers and security there is no legitimate purpose to use
Nessus or any other scanner.
So one is either capable enough to install a free os and perform the
required tests with tools like nessus. Or one should be larted untill
(s)he knows that security is a job which requires skills on which one must
work and keep working.
