The best way of discovering exploits is by manual labor or paying someone to find a hole in whatever it is, but other 
than that there's Nestea and Nessus. I think Nessus costs a good bit, but I'm not sure if Nestea is free or not.

Firstly, Nessus only finds known exploits, won't help identify new ones,
also it is free (although not GPL anymore) - which could have easily
been verified before posting.

For a GPL'd fork of Nessus see OpenVAS http://www.openvas.org
