In the past, I've used nessus for vulnerability scanning my lab, but as my service count has grown, the 16 IP limit is becoming a little unwieldy.
Is anyone able to recommend an alternative that fits at least most of the requirements I have?
-
Free (preferably in both senses of the word)
-
Doesn't use Docker, even if containerized, I'd prefer to avoid having my scanner share a host with another service... and I'm not incredibly well versed with Docker
-
Scans multiple systems (I tried Trivy, but as far as I can tell it only scans the system you install it on)
-
Has a webui for management of scans
Alternatively, if anyone is willing to lend some advice for the configuration of Wazuh... I deployed the service months ago with the expectation that it could be used for vulnerability scanning (the Dev was in a few reddit threads suggesting that it had the capability), but i haven't been able to configure it properly.
I appreciate any advice people are willing to offer!

I’ve heard wazuh can do authenticated vuln scanning, but since I’ve scaled down my homelab and hardened it to a point that vuln scanning is not currently needed I’ve had no need to do so. I have a friend deploying wazuh at his job so I’m gonna have to reach out to him some time to learn how he is doing it once I start growing my lab again.
I use nuclei for networked vuln scanning, which is all I really need right now. Works well with community rules, but it is a cli application. I really like how I don’t need to deploy it on a dedicated device, I just run it using all rules on the subnets that I want to scan from my laptop, which I have plugged into a vuln-scanning network with open fw rules, and check back in half an hour. Once I get a few more raspberry pis, I’ll have one on such a network that I can just run a scan from.
