Good idea.

Yeah, I expected them to take a hit too.  But I guess the survey would
be pointless if we could predict everything.  Also, Nessus doesn't
have much open source vulnerability scanning competition right now.
I'd love to see that change in the next survey.

Speaking of SecTools.Org, has anyone submitted it to Slashdot?  I
specifically added mirror sites this morning to be sure the site could
handle a traffic flood, but my servers aren't even breaking a sweat
yet!  Also, it would help if people with Digg accounts Digg the story:

If my bandwidth graph doesn't start rising pretty soon, I may have to
resort to putting the HaXXXor movies back online :).

Cheers,
