Good luck to you guys - I agree that the Nessus engine doesn't appear to have gained much by being Open Source these years (unlike something like snort - where I see addons appearing all the time), so I don't see any difficulty with it becoming closed-source-but-free-to-use. As long as the NASL interface is open and useful (so I can write my own/fix others), I don't see this changing how I use it. As far as a new OS alternative - good luck! Nessus actually does quite a bit under the hood - it'd be hard to replace. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
