Hi friends,
i promised weeks ago to give results of a compare nessus /ovas
i run a test against a Win Server unpatch ... giving admin credentials
to both nessus/openvas

- homefeed nessus plugins were used, and openvas  full ultimate and very
deep plugins  ones.
i do not check if they were some false positive.

here is my count ;
Vulnerabilities detect by both (with same cvss score assign) :  104
Vulnerabilities detect by both (with NOT the same cvss score assign ) :  67
Vulnerabilities  only detect by nessus : 45
Vulnerabilities  only detect by openvas : 50

to my mind the vulns only detect by openvas are also detect by nessus
but with the PRO-Feed License.

i am very happy with OPENVAS Result !!!,
just a litle bit suprise to see  different CVSS score for a same
vulnerability.
who s wrong who s right i do not dig in ...
