[Openvas-discuss] Are there other Nessus forks than OpenVAS?

[Dan Bowman]

They likely wouldn't have removed me, a lot of flack was just flying around
back then. 

I think those two ports died but the efforts of the company's did not and
they are pseudo competitors.  I'm not into pot stirring so beg my pardon if
I don't go into it too much.

Best of luck with the project!

All I found had empty archives of mailing lists. Why should subscribers be
removed silently? I guess you could easily check whether you are still
subscribed.

Thats interesting. I haven't found these. Could you provide some pointers?

Not really. Basically dead from the beginning.
