Buying Greenbone > means to ensure support and have us produce more Free Software ;-) Offcourse I understand that, same with Red Hat. The problem is more the financial part that not every manager wants to pay but still wants to have a nice clean interface where he can see the scan results for free.. > >> I am looking for a free as in free beer solution :) >> Sorry but my company is on a low budget that is why I am looking for >> free beer alternatives ;) > > "Free beer" is relative. I hope you are paid for getting a scanner to work :-) I get paid yes ;) but my company decides to not invest in proferssional feeds and support and want a cheap solution. I can understand people saying: that is *bs* : want the best but don't want to pay. I am just saying that it would be nice to have an Inprotect alike interface for OpenVAS for users to make some nice graphs. If something goes wrong; they can pay for the support for example.
