[Openvas-discuss] OpenVAS book on Amazon??

2010-11-24 Thread Matthew Coene

Hello Everyone,

Just another ???

Doing a round of IT book ordering and checked to see whether there had been
any translation of the OpenVAS German book...  Turns out there isn't

Though this did turn up...

Sounds fishy so I was hoping someone could attest to the validity and
authenticity of this...

http://www.amazon.com/OpenVAS-Lambert-M-Surhone/dp/6132080902/ref=sr_1_1?s=booksie=UTF8qid=1290624798sr=1-1

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! OpenVAS (OpenSource
Vulnerability Assessment Scanner), previously GNessUs, is a GPL fork of the
Nessus security scanner to allow future free development of the
now-proprietary tool. OpenVAS was originally proposed by pentesters at
Portcullis Computer Security and then announced by Tim Brown on Slashdot.
OpenVAS is a member project of Software in the Public Interest. Previously,
it had been voted out because the project appeared to be dead. The OpenVAS
domains were donated by SecuritySpace, hosting was donated by Nth
Dimension/Public Internet and DevCon 1 conference fees were paid for by
Intevation and DN Systems.

I am not sure how and if the Open License equates to freedom of press,
especially as there is no error-checking on Wikipedia..   Also not sure if
this is more of a historical on the project or an actual pseudo-text /
manual...

Cheers,



Matt

Looks like a print on demand scam.

The openvas compendium (which is freely available as a download) will
probably be of higher quality than randomly strung together wikipedia
articles.

Looks like the Lambert Academic Publishing print on demand scam.
