Re: VM of IPS/IDS solution

[Joshua Gimer <jgimer () gmail com>]

Why not create a Linux VM, and install Nessus. You can then check the  
patch level with the proper credentials.

You can also use OpenBSD. Here is a link to an appliance running OBSD  
4.2 with VMWare Tools installed. Nessus is a part of the ports  
collection for OpenBSD. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/1075

You can then get a free plugin subscription from tenable. http://www.nessus.org/nessus/
