Looking for suggestions on free/libre open source security scanning and pen testing products

[Eric Vanderveer]

I run it from my Kali box and really haven't had much issues, I installed
Kali back when It had OpenVAS.  I know they don't package it anymore in
Kali I think for the reasons you mentioned.  I use Nessus more though so
haven't really used VAS in a while.
