Hmm.
C rules out Newt!
Nstealth looks Ok.
I've trialled SandCat, but found way too many false positives (about 4 for
every actual issue).
Nikto is helpful, but only works at the http layer.

Subject: Vuln Scanner
I have a client that states in his RFP that we run nessus, and at least one
other vulnerability scanner to compare the output.
Does anyone here know of an inexpensive vulnerability scanner, that:
A) Is as effective as nessus.
B) Doesn't cost nearly as much as say ISS or SAINT (free would be
good).
C) Doesn't use nessus plugins (like x-scan).
