Hi there,
I was in the process of cleaning up some code in nessusd, and the "diff
scan" feature kept being on my way.
The code for this feature is really ugly, and even possibly broken (it
has not been tested since the late 1.0.x series), and even worse, it's
totally useless (diff(1) does the same job), so I am considering
removing this code altogether, as Nessus is a vulnerability scanner, not
a "everything but the kitchen sink about security" tool.
So, before I totally remove that part of the code, I'd like to know if
anyone is actually using it. So please if you use the diff scan feature
of Nessus, make yourself heard now, otherwise you'll be disappointed by
the release of Nessus 2.2.0...
