We have been using OpenVAS since Nessus became commercialized.  We are in
the process of integrating it with metasploit autopwn.  So far the only
drawback we have is the lack of built in automated comparison of previous
scans with the current one.

Greetings!



I am beginning to do some research into vulnerability scanners to be used in
assessing infrastructure weaknesses here at the University at Buffalo.  I'm
wondering if folks out there might be willing to share with us what they're
using, if anything, and any experiences (good or bad) you've had with any of
these products.



Many thanks in advance for your assistance.



Sincerely,

Cathy
