Two questions for anyone more familiar with this product than I am.

1. Is it available in English. I visited the web page and I did not see any obvious links to an English version.

2. What advantages does this offer over plain nessus? I see that it is designed to run from a bootable CD, so maybe that is their addition. Is there anything else?

It could be interesting.

1. Not that I can find. Nothing about it on the mailing list either. 2. They added Security Local Auditing Daemon (SLAD), which manages the local security-software-modules that 'are tied with' nessus. SLAD also enables you to scan vulnerabilities and scan for succesful break-ins from the inside out (also uses checkrootkit I believe). They also say it's more userfriendly.

It's a pity I don't know these software, nor do I understand (this rather specialized) German very well, but that's what I could find out.
