[olug] Nessus Replacement

[Andrew Embury]

Dear Lazyweb,

Now that Nessus went closed source, what does the group recommend for an
Open Source security scanner?  I will be using it in a commercial
environment and can't justify Nessus' $1200.00/year plugin feed cost and do
not wish to violate the license by signing up for a personal subscription
and using it commercially anyway.

I see OpenVAS was forked from Nessus.  Is it any good?  Anything else
recommended?

Thanks,

Drew
