Nessus is better in my opinion but but both are very loud. Better do it manually

[Muffinz2323]

Using both is always an option even if it is quite loud

[MarsMan]

what do you mean loud here ? :-) can you explain a bit

Loud means it creates ways to be noticed by the server/admin/whatever. It goes balls to the wall and doesn't care if it gets noticed on the other end, basically

Netsparker is the best tool out there , tried acunetix it is good but slow

Manual is definitely a better choice, No point in trynna be silent if you're loud af, thats like trynna break into a house while playing a trumpet when the cops are outside, pointless.

2 answers, Nessus is pretty great at checking everything based on proper rules based on PCI certifications ect. Acunetix is nice for a quick scan checking all the default boxes without having to have any actual knowledge of what's going on behind the scanner. Both come in as subpar compared to a proper pentester doing his job correctly.

For pentesting your own system I prefer nessus. Although you should not use it on systems you trying to break into, as it doesn't care to be silent.

I personally like Nessus the best for quick and dirty stuff. Being too loud especially if your connected to a network via wifi i've noticed causes routers to disconnect. If there was a stealth mode, it would be a really sweet t00l.
