Giving you a report full of false positives and lots of meaningless alerts that you have to double check once the scan is done.This is not 1st hand experience; but i know that Visa/PCI guys are using it.Given the reliance on webapps nowadays, it doesn't make much sense for a commercial vulnerability scanner to omit web sandrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10744753642125235069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340925130381043944.post-59952844688200031052007-11-01T14:57:00.000+02:002007-11-01T14:57:00.000+02:00He makes some very interesting points.
