Re: nmap vs. nessus

[Kim Guldberg <kim () bufferzone dk>]

Hi Terry

In reality there is no different since Nessus uses nmap initially
I guess you could say that Nessus will give you open ports and
vulnerabilities, but you could do almost the same using the Nmap
Scripting Engine
Also Nmap gives you more options on the port scanning part then Nessus
but that can be scripted/configured to some extent also in Nessus
