.... hey I thought this was the IDS forum ....

Of course if you plug Nessus and then mention windows, you should
check out NeWT 2.1 when we release it later this week. It runs on
windows, does the same network/SSH/Windows local checks as Nessus
and has it's own reports and XML format. There is *no charge* for
the class C version.

You can download NeWT 2.0 here:
http://cgi.tenablesecurity.com/tenable/requestForm.php

NeWT 2.1 will be available later this week and includes support
for XP SP2, and SSH local checks for AIX, Solaris, SuSE, OS X and
others.

And just to bring it back to an IDS discussion, you can run all
of the NASL scripts from Nessus, right from your windows laptop
and also enable a variety of NIDS bypass options from an easy
to use tabbed interface.
