>I think a lot of people do not understand what the Nessus engine is : it's a platform to run plugins effectively. When we improve a NASL plugin, the improvement works >both on Nessus 2.x and on 3.x. So sticking to Nessus 2.x is fine if you don't want to upgrade.
>-- Renaud Forgive me if this has already been answered. I think I remember seeing somewhere that the version 3 engine is a complete re-write. That being the case, is it safe to assume that based on new enhancements unique to the version 3 engine, NASLs coded for the version 3 engine may not always work (properly) in the version 2 engine? I could be completely wrong in my logic but in any case, this question is rattling around in the back of my head. Thanks.
