Hello everyone, Nessus and NMAP are good all around tools, I normal pick the toolbox that I'm going to use based on the 
task, if I'm going to pen test a web server I would use different tools then if I were testing a NAS.

Hi, try it:


 1. LANguard

 2. Nessus

 3. Retina


I think Retina is a pretty good application, but it never produced
much more result for me than Nessus did alone. I've used LANguard as a
basic scan, more of a discovery, then Nessus to look for specific
vulnerabilities.
