It isn't a matter of publishing the results, it's an issue of how/where nessus is used. I can (and do) use the home/free nessus for scanning my home systems. It is a clearly personal use. At work we are paying for a feed because it is (an incidental) part of our business -- I'm responsible for scanning all systems on the university network. We don't publish the results, they are only used internally. If it were being used in a course of instruction it might qualify for an educational use -- something Tenable decides.
"Commercial organizations which use the Nessus vulnerability scanner must purchase a ProfessionalFeed subscription to obtain support, updates to their database of vulnerability checks and compliance auditing." http://www.tenablesecurity.com/products/professional-feed/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:nessus- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 12:44 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Difference in what is tested between personal and professional > nessus? > > > > Does anyone know if there is actually a difference in what > vulnerabilities are tested for between the Nessus personal free edition > and the Nessus professional edition?
