Nessus web app tests

Well well well. For years now I've enjoyed laughing at pen test firms who answer the question "So what do you use to do your web app testing?" with "Nessus". But, looking at the blog post linked to below:

it appears that Tenable have stepped up their game somewhat to deliver some useable web app security tests. I have to state that I haven't had chance to try out this new functionality but it certainly looks to be an improvement on the old cgi checks. Maybe I'll have to stop laughing now and just chortle a little instead... (it's still not the tool of choice for serious web app testing - as Tenable acknowledge. Horses for courses.)
