Not a surprise TBH, I think nmap is their pet project in the security arena. Do they give any reasons this year or is it like other years where there is no feedback? > Which brings me to another point.

IIRC we got some donations at the last DevCon, could we use these plus any further donations to run another OpenVAS development competition? I'd need to check with SPI on the how we can run this (I think SPI can't help if we pay for specific pieces of work) but I think it is worth doing. I'd be more than happy to donate / mentor if anyone fancies it (caveat: plugin development please). Tim -- Tim Brown <mailto:t...@openvas.org> <http://www.openvas.org/>
