Really?  IMO, securescanx scanned a little too fast.  I ran a scan against a
/24 range of addresses off of a T-1 connection with both Nessus and
vigilante whilst running a packet sniffer off of the spanned default gw
port....The vigilante was so aggressive that it missed many of the ports
which Nessus (Nmap, in this instance) found.  Vigilante was sending SYN
packets about 4 times faster than the nessusd server.....

incidentally, securescan utilizes nessus technology as well...
