In the past, I’ve used nessus for vulnerability scanning my lab, but as my service count has grown, the 16 IP limit is becoming a little unwieldy.

Is anyone able to recommend an alternative that fits at least most of the requirements I have?

  • Free (preferably in both senses of the word)

  • Doesn’t use Docker, even if containerized, I’d prefer to avoid having my scanner share a host with another service… and I’m not incredibly well versed with Docker

  • Scans multiple systems (I tried Trivy, but as far as I can tell it only scans the system you install it on)

  • Has a webui for management of scans

Alternatively, if anyone is willing to lend some advice for the configuration of Wazuh… I deployed the service months ago with the expectation that it could be used for vulnerability scanning (the Dev was in a few reddit threads suggesting that it had the capability), but i haven’t been able to configure it properly.

I appreciate any advice people are willing to offer!

    You may checkout IVRE, it’s a bit weird but it seems like it can do some stuff verywell

      If Greenbone doesn’t work out I might try this next, it looks interesting.
