Perhaps you can break things up a bit... It will help you out on the HTTP
side Also, check out Wikto / Nikto.

This tool comes in commercial and free versions. It may help you in your
quest .. I don't know of any other 'free' nessus like scanners out in the
open source arena.

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).
