Hell, the 'trust' relationship is not done by any security scanner I know of. I'ts out-of-date, yes, but it's pretty good proof-of-concept somebody should re-implement in newer scanners. It's there, it's useful (if only to learn what vuln assesment really is) and I'm against dropping it. Note that I'm also trying to get Dan & Wietse to re-license it. Also, some new engines based on SATAN (Saint and Sara) are blatantly breaking the license SATAN is distributed with (it's a "no commercial use please" license). Regards Javi PS: And Sara is even mixing it with GPL code! (Saint did it before it switched licenses and turned propietary)
