It's nice to see you posting here, Mr. Gula (I kid, of course! :) ) But seriously, I'll give you my perspective, which is fairly simple, and that's all I can do. I write scripts for Nmap that are free, opensource, available to the community, and will always be available to the community. We've received a lot of great scripts from the community, with dozens of different authors, that can do similar things to Nessus and different things than Nessus. That's my view on it, at least. Others may have different opinions on Nessus vs Nmap, but it's definitely an interesting question and I'd love to hear them!

Hi Note in advance - no offense to nmap folks. Let me tell what I feel. Some of NMmap Scripts are now moving on for vulnerability scanning. Those scripts are a smallest subset of what Nessus is now doing. I have no idea why NSE folks write scripts that re-invent the wheel. Although I appreciate that we have two options to validate the results, a great deal of time will be wasted if NSE folks are writing/converting Nessus plugins to NSEs. Please explain me so that I can put in your shoes. _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
