Intrusion and > exploit automation tools are at their very beginning right now. In the > future, they may be used for periodical security assessments of the own > hosts and networks, with automatic vulnerability updates. Ideally, exploit > automation tools would eventually "join forces" with full-disclosure > resources such as vulnerability mailing lists, the Securityfocus database, > MITRE's CVE [3] system, and other free resources. > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is the difference between NEAT and Nessus? (Which wasn't listed in the Resources). My understanding of this FAQ suggests that they're very similar tools, except that Nessus already has a vulnerability development community. -- Jamie Fifield <fifieldat_private>
