Yes and No. Here's the few details about skipfish (if you did not tried
to use it):
- skipfish is very chatty (it outputs statistics every 20 requests)
- skipfish generates a LOT requests even with minimal dictionary
- skipfish generates html report which should be parsed a lot (with
copies of everything downloaded)

I have sent patch to Michael (author of skipfish), but did not get any
response afterwards. If Michael does not accept the patch, we can
distribute OpenVAS with a patch, but it's always clumsy solution. Even
with that patch, I'm not sure if skipfish is right software for this
use. It's more for manual web vulnerability assessment.

That's why I have implemented wapiti(http://wapiti.sourceforge.net/)
support in the meantime on SVN r7114. Take a look at:
http://wald.intevation.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/openvas-plugins/scripts/remote-web-wapiti.nasl?root=openvas&view=log

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any better open source web vulnerability
scanner. Anyone would like to enlighten us?
