This is not necessarily a good answer. Depending on the original poster's circumstances, installing Linux on a dedicated system or dual boot may not be an option for him, and it may not be within his realm of control. > > > My Q. > > Is there any product which is similar Nessus available on Windows > > platform?? > > How about paying dearly for a commercial windows scanner that runs on > windows? You can buy VMWare, install it, and create a linux VM and run Nessus from Windows via VMWare. Again, dependning on this person's circumstances, this may be viable or may not be. If the rules (if any) he has to abide by do not allow him the flexibility to install Linux or some other OS himself on a dedicated system or allow dual boot configurations, this may be a legitimate way for him to bypass those restrictions. It is not a completely free solution, though. You would have to buy VMWare and possibly have to upgrade memory/processor to get acceptable performance. I believe that there are some open source OS emulators that are fairly similar to VMWare but I don't think they are up to the above mentioned task. What is feasible really depends on the specifics of this person's circumstances are. - [EMAIL PROTECTED]: general discussions about Nessus. * To unsubscribe, send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe nessus" in the body.
