    Here is another shameless plug, but for an open-source product!
    
    Gherkin is a free web-enabled, multi-threaded, centralized security scan
    manager incorporating Nessus vulnerability scanning, dns and nmb lookup
    host resolving, nmap fingerprinting and scanning, and customized
    traceroute-based network node detection with all the output stored in a
    normalized Postgres database.
    
    We are currently enhancing this 0.1 release to take advantage of
    the scheduled threaded scanning processes to support distributed
    deployment.
